+This template is used to simplify creating wiki links. It is used as
+  <nowiki>{{link|PAGE_TITLE|ANCHOR|ALT_TEXT}}</nowiki>
+All parameters ''except'' PAGE_TITLE ''or'' ANCHOR are optional (at least one of the two must be supplied). The last specified parameter will be used as the link text. So if only PAGE_TITLE is specified:
+  <nowiki>{{link|Adventure Game Studio}}</nowiki>
+You would get the link:
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[Adventure Game Studio]]
+ANCHOR allows you to specifically link to a subsection of an article while using the subsection's title as the link text. That is:
+  <nowiki>{{link|Adventure Game Studio|History}}</nowiki>
+Would yield the following link:
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[Adventure Game Studio#History|History]]
+ALT_TEXT does as it implies and wllows you to change the text used in the link. So you could do this:
+  <nowiki>{{link|Adventure Game Studio|History|AGS History}}</nowiki>
+To produce the following link:
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[Adventure Game Studio#History|AGS History]]
+You can still specify ALT_TEXT without specifying an ANCHOR as well:
+  <nowiki>{{link|Adventure Game Studio||AGS}}</nowiki>
+Gives the link:
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[Adventure Game Studio|AGS]]
+Another great use is to link to a subsection of the current page:
+  <nowiki>{{link||About}}</nowiki>
+Which produces this:
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[#About|About]]
+Or even:
+  <nowiki>{{link||About|Top}}</nowiki>
+Which gives:
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[#About|Top]]
+[[Category:Formatting templates]]</noinclude>
