Module:ExternalLinks

Module:ExternalLinks

This module defines a centralized table of commonly used external URLs for BadWolfMC.

It is invoked via the template Template:Ext-link using:

{{ext-link|key|optional display text}}

How to add a new link

1. Edit Module:ExternalLinks
2. Add a new entry (preferably in alphabetical order) to the links table in this format:

   key = {
       url = "https://example.com/...",
       label = "Default Label"
   }
   

3. Use it in the wiki like {{ext-link|key}}
