This template allows for references to the Wikipedia pages (such as Technology in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and List of minor The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy characters) 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 ...
