Template:H2G2/doc
| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:H2G2. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template allows for references to the Wikipedia pages (such as Technology in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, List of minor The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy characters, Places in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and List of races and species in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) about the various The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy versions for use in lists and references. The links are very long winded so this makes it 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 link is provided with text suitable for use in a list or sentence. This makes other pages easy to edit — with shorter, much shorter sources. I tried doing Adams' quotes on Twitter on Towel Day; he's not very 140 characters.
So ...
