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}}

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.
