This template provides a shortcut markup for linking directly to a what if? article on xkcd.com.
Usage
{{What If|article number|article title}}
It also creates an anchor that can be linked to. Just add #NUMBER or #Title_of_the_Article to the end of an internal link to jump to the position of this template on that page (see example below). You must use underscores instead of spaces and use sentence case: the links are case-sensitive. Especially useful to link to a specific row of the table in What If? chapters, what if? (blog), and all the What If? book pages.
Examples
Example all by itself:
-
{{What If|158|Hot Banana}}results inHot Banana
- (not recommended)
{{What If|158}}results inwhat if? 158ㅤ(It links to the same page, but uses the number instead of the optional link text.)
Example in a sentence:
-
See the ''[[what if? (blog)|what if?]]'' article ''{{What If|158|Hot Banana}}''.results inSee the what if? article Hot Banana.
Example anchor links:
-
[[What If? 2#158]]results in What If? 2#158
-
[[What If? 2#Hot_Banana]]results in What If? 2#Hot_Banana
- But you should change the appearance by piping the link, like this:
[[What If? 2#Hot_Banana|Hot Banana from What If? 2]]results in Hot Banana from What If? 2
