This template inserts references to the various The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy versions into Wikipedia articles. The links can be very long winded, so this template makes them easy and consistent.

Compare:

[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Tertiary to Quintessential Phases#Fit the Fourteenth|fit the fourteenth]] of the radio series

with:

{{H2G2|radio|14|link=yes}}

The template inserts text suitable for use in a list or sentence. This makes pages easy to edit — with shorter, much shorter sources. I tried doing Adams' quotes on Twitter on Towel Day, and he's not very 140 characters.

Usage

Link parameter

Use of the template should include the link parameter. Specifying link=yes will transclude text which is linked, and link=no unlinked text. Apart from the linking, the text is identical. The default is to transclude unlinked text.

Examples

{{H2G2|book|1|link=yes}} to {{H2G2|book|6|link=yes}} for the novels:

{{H2G2|radio|1|link=yes}} to {{H2G2|radio|26|link=yes}} for the radio episodes:

{{H2G2|phase|1|link=yes}} to {{H2G2|phase|5|link=yes}} for the radio phases:

{{H2G2|tv|1|link=yes}} to {{H2G2|tv|6|link=yes}} for the TV episodes:

{{H2G2|movie|1|link=yes}} for the film:

{{H2G2|game|1|link=yes}} and {{H2G2|game|2|link=yes}} for the computer games:
