 Use this to link to an author's name, almost as easy as just typing the name itself.
-<s>Important! Because of the way MediaWiki parses URLs, your author name cannot have any spaces in it! So you can use <nowiki>{{a|Author_Name}}</nowiki>, but ''not'' <nowiki>{{a|Author Name}}</nowiki>!</s>
+See [[Template:A/doc]] for detailed documentation.
-:The template now automatically converts spaces to underscores as needed.
-An optional name parameter allows the link to be dispalyed with a different text than the author name. So, for example, <code><nowiki>{{A|Elizabeth_Moon}}</nowiki></code> gives the link {{A|Elizabeth_Moon}}, while <code><nowiki>{{A|Elizabeth_Moon|name=Moon}}</nowiki></code> gives the link: {{A|Elizabeth_Moon|name=Moon}}.
