- (e.g.,
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/paco-testas/4005-10763/→ name =paco-testas)
- ID number (required)
The unique Comic Vine character ID number located in the URL after 4005-.
- (e.g.,
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/paco-testas/4005-10763/→ ID =10763)
- Display name (optional, recommended)
The text displayed for the link. Defaults to the page name via {{PAGENAME}}. Recommended on character list articles.
Parameters
[edit]This template supports both named and positional parameters. Do not mix styles in a single use to avoid alignment issues.
- Named parameters
{{Comic Vine|name=SLUG|id=ID NUMBER|title=DISPLAY NAME}}
- Positional parameters
{{Comic Vine|SLUG|ID NUMBER|DISPLAY NAME}}
Examples
[edit]- Named parameters
{{Comic Vine|name=paco-testas|id=10763|title=Paco Testas}}→ Paco Testas at Comic Vine
- Positional parameters
{{Comic Vine|paco-testas|10763|Paco Testas}}→ Paco Testas at Comic Vine
- Mixed parameters (rare)
- Using a named id= with a positional display text requires a placeholder pipe:
{{Comic Vine|id=10763||Paco Testas}}→ Comic Vine at Comic Vine
- The reverse mix works without issues:
{{Comic Vine|10763|title=Paco Testas}}→ Paco Testas at Comic Vine
