Template:Magic: The Gathering card/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Magic: The Gathering card.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

This template allows for convenient linking to the Gatherer Lookup page (Wizards of the Coast's official database search engine) for cards from Magic: The Gathering. The template supports linking to cards by name and by Gatherer-assigned ID number (found at the end of each card edition's URL), allowing for general and edition-specific releases.

Note that in articles, this template should only be used in the External links section (see Wikipedia:External links for more information).

A short template name, {{mtgcard}}, may be used.

For example, {{mtgcard|Wrath of God}} produces:

Wrath of God

While, {{mtgcard|Wrath of God|2373}} produces the Fourth Edition release:

Wrath of God

The name of the card is not required for the template to work,

Writing, {{mtgcard||2373}} produces:

Card ID: 2373

Excluding both name and ID number results in a link to the Gatherer Lookup home page,

Writing, {{mtgcard||}} produces:
