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.

Note: The style in which this information is displayed is still under discussion. The link which currently appears off to the side may in the future be changed to appear inline, be given a border, background color, etc.. Regardless future changes in layout, links made now using this template will continue to function.

The layout is supposed to evoke line-markers, a type of bookmark used to mark a specific line.

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:

{{Storylink | King of the Hill | Marvel US #27 }}
{{Storylink | King of the Hill}}
{{Storylink | King of the Hill | }}

These examples are rendered in the dummy text below, in the same order:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet( Marvel US #27 [, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.( King of the Hill[ Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
