I am here to speak out on behalf of laziness!! Ok, so, I don't like having to type <nowiki>''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''</nowiki> every time I want to link to ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''. (I had to type it all out again! Argh!) I know it only takes two seconds, but I'd love to just be able to type <nowiki>{{MP}}</nowiki> and have that spit it out for me. Now be do have [[Template:Mp1]], [[Template:Mp2]], and the like, but these each have a unique color associated with them, like dis: {{Mp1}}, {{Mp2}}. So, that's cool and everything, but let's be honest, it severely limits the usability of those templates. I move that we alter these templates so the fancy colors go away and they're more usable in the body of an article. If anyone objects to that idea, perhaps these fancy-color templates can be moved (to, perhaps, "Template:Mp1-colored" or something unoriginal like that) and use the simple abbreviations for a quick game-linking template.

:I was thinking the exact same thing. Lately I've been doing lots of work around Nookipedia, and they use this system for each ''Animal Crossing'' game. It does get tiresome typing out the game names, so I can see your point. --{{:User:Wookiee123/sig}} 07:47, 16 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
