Parameters

Place Link

Parameter	Scope	Description
1	required	Place page name.
2	optional	Name to display. Defaults to place stripped of any parenthetical text (e.g., "Weynon Priory (place)" becomes "Weynon Priory").
mapname	optional	Name to use for map link. Defaults to the saved mapname for the location, or place stripped as above if there is no saved mapname. Set to "none" for no map link.
mod	optional	Two letter code for a mod/add-on. Will display the tag for it immediately after the link. This parameter is mostly vestigial, though still required for Shivering Isles links in Oblivion space.
ns_base	optional	Namespace of the game being referenced. If not provided, the current namespace will be used.
ns_map	optional	The two-letter name of the map to call in the map link, intended for Dragonborn places in Skyrim namespace.
nolink	optional	Set to any value to disable linking when the link would redirect back to the current page. This parameter is inherited.
trimlinks	optional	Set to any value to trim all links from the description and display it as plain text. This parameter is inherited.
nodesc	optional	Set to any value to hide the description.
Loaded Parameters
description mapworld marker_icon	optional	In addition to the parameters listed above, these parameters are loaded from the relevant page's {{Place Infobox}}, but can be overridden if needed. For Elder Scrolls Online maps, specifying the mapworld is useful for locations that exist in more than one zone. Note: zone is equivalent to mapworld for backwards compatibility.
shortcut	optional	This is loaded from the relevant mod's page (if applicable). Similar to mod, except this is the full template call for the mod's shortcut link, or blank to suppress the normal link.
