Template:Item link/doc

Query based item link. Use this to link items from Template:Item

Overview
Creates a link to an item page that has the item information entered by Template:Item and includes the item info box on hover on the link.

Pages with broken item links with be added to the maintenance category Category:Pages with broken item links.

Page search
One of these is required. Do not specify more than one.

Output overrides
All of these are optional and can be used to customize the item link.

No pages found
When the search parameters can't find any items for the given parameter, a red error box will be shown. It can be caused by updates to the game that change the name of items, so links to the old name can no longer find the item with the new name.

The solution is to either use a different search parameter or making sure the parameter is correct.

In rare cases, it's also possible it's caused by Database problems causing data to not be written on the target page. In those cases, null editing the target page should help. See Path of Exile Wiki:Known issues for more information.

Too many results found
When the search parameters find to many items, a red error box will be shown because the script doesn't know which one is the desired result. It is generally caused by items that share the same name, but have their own page such as variants of an unique item for example.

The solution is to use the page parameter to point to the page of the desired item.

Example:

Broken:

Fixed:

In rare cases, it's also possible it's caused by Database problems causing duplicate data on the target page. In those cases, null editing the target page should help. See Path of Exile Wiki:Known issues for more information.

Note
