Template:Cbdbx/doc

cbdbx is a template for creating external links to comicbookdb.com, which is particularly useful for comic book creators. As of 22:03, April 14, 2011 (UTC), this template only creates links to creators, but it may be adapted to allow for other kinds of links.

Usage
It's very easy to use this template. Go to a creator page on comicbookdb.com. Note the ID number in the URL. Then type

For instance, if you were trying to create a link for Mark Farmer, you'd note that his cbdb ID# is 316. You'd therefore type on his page to create a link. Note, however, that this template expects you to be on the page of the artist involved. Here's what happens if the above is entered on this page:

It creates a correct link to Mark Farmer's cbdb page, but it reflects the current page name. This isn't seen as a weakness of this template, because editors are extremely unlikely to want to put a cbdb link for, say, Mark Farmer on any other page but Mark Farmer.
