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}}

Articles that can benefit include:
- List of minor The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy characters
- Places in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
- Phrases from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
