==Usage==
This template accepts up to 4 numbered parameters and an additional <code>nolink</code> parameter. 

The first parameter is the icon the link will be rendered with; for example, <code><nowiki>{{IconLink|sword}}</nowiki></code> will generate a link with a [[File:Sword icon.png]] icon in front of it. This parameter must match with an image name – for example, <code><nowiki>{{IconLink|booma}}</nowiki></code> matches <code><nowiki>Booma.png</nowiki></code> – or the link won't render properly. This template was made to be used with the specific icon images on this wiki – for example, <code><nowiki>{{IconLink|gun}}</nowiki></code> will automatically use <code><nowiki>Gun icon.png</nowiki></code> – however, any image is technically usable, and will be resized to a 16-pixel-wide image.

The second parameter ''may'' be a color, but this is optional. Supported colors are <span class="link">link</span>, <span class="normal">normal</span>, <span class="white">white</span>, <span class="attributes">attributes</span>, <span class="green">green</span>, <span class="untekked">untekked</span>, <span class="cyan">cyan</span>, <span class="blue">blue</span>, <span class="rare">rare</span>, <span class="yellow">yellow</span>, <span class="es">es</span>, <span class="red">red</span>, <span class="native">native</span>, <span class="abeast">abeast</span>, <span class="ab">ab</span>, <span class="machine">machine</span>, <span class="dark">dark</span>, <span class="olga2">olga2</span>, and <span class="glow">glow</span>.

:If a different value or no value is specified, it will automatically use the <span class="link">link</span> color, and the second parameter will instead become the page that the link points to. This is useful for quickly rendering a link that doesn't need a particular text color, like for a technique; for example, a [[Handgun]] has an icon but no specific in-game text color, so using <code><nowiki>{{IconLink|gun|Handgun}}</nowiki></code> will quickly render a {{IconLink|gun|Handgun}} link. However, all items already have easier-to-use templates; see [[:Category:Link templates]] for more information.

If a color was specified, the third parameter is the page that the link points to; for example, <code><nowiki>{{IconLink|cane|attributes|Baton}}</nowiki></code> becomes {{IconLink|cane|attributes|Baton}}. If a color was ''not'' specified, the third parameter is the ''text of the link''; <code><nowiki>{{IconLink|gun|Handgun|Bind Handgun}}</nowiki></code> renders as {{IconLink|gun|Handgun|Bind Handgun}}.

The fourth parameter is optional, and only necessary if a color was specified. If this is the case, then the fourth parameter is the text of the link; <code><nowiki>{{IconLink|sword|untekked|Gladius|Demon's Gladius}}</nowiki></code> will render as {{IconLink|sword|untekked|Gladius|Demon's Gladius}}.

This template automatically changes itself from a link to simple bold text if the link points to the page the link is on; MediaWiki does this automatically with standalone links, but not image links, such as the icons that precede the text in this template.

==Examples==
<pre>{{IconLink|sword|Saber}}</pre>
{{IconLink|sword|Saber}}
<pre>{{IconLink|gun|attributes|Launcher|Charge Launcher +15}}</pre>
{{IconLink|gun|attributes|Launcher|Charge Launcher +15}}
<pre>{{IconLink|unit|rare|V101}}</pre>
{{IconLink|unit|rare|V101}}
<pre>{{IconLink|cane|es|ES Windmill}}</pre>
{{IconLink|cane|es|ES Windmill}}
