==Description==
This template is intended for use in fiction sections, allowing for cross-references to the source of the history being discussed, without needing to break the flow of the story or use footnotes. This template creates a link to a story article here on {{SITENAME}}. To create an external storylink to our sister wiki {{gb|Main Page|GoBots Wiki}} use [[Template:Gbstorylink]]. To create a storylink to our ''other'' sister wiki {{i|Main Page|IDW Hasbro Wiki}}, use [[Template:Istorylink]].


Use this template to link to a story without disrupting the flow of an article. The link will appear to the right of the article text.
In non-fiction sections, it's better to refer to the work of fiction normally, e.g., "The last appearance of Bumblebee's Pretender shell is in the comic '[[Dark Creation]]'."

This template accepts two arguments, the first should be the article being linked to, and the second is an optional description which will appear as the link text.  If the second argument is omitted, the text of the link will default to the name of the article being referenced.  Additionally, you may make the second argument "blank" by including the pipe for it but putting no text (or a space) there -- in this case, the storylink will appear as a simple "tab" to click on.  Here are examples of these three ways of invoking the template:
 
:<tt><nowiki>{{Storylink | King of the Hill | Marvel US #27 }}</nowiki></tt>
:<tt><nowiki>{{Storylink | King of the Hill}}</nowiki></tt>
:<tt><nowiki>{{Storylink | King of the Hill | }}</nowiki></tt>
 
These examples are rendered in the dummy text below, in the same order:
 
:Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet{{Storylink | King of the Hill | Marvel US #27 }}, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
