'''Elink''' creates an external link with icon, providing a consistent standard for the External Links section.

;Syntax
{{t|Elink| prefix=
| link=''link_url''
| site=''link_name''
| desc=
| title=''tooltip''
| icon=''icon_name''
| type=''(see below)'' }}

* '''prefix''' - ''Optional'' prefix text before the icon.
* '''link''' - URL to link to.
* '''site''' - Simple name for the site, used as the link text. This should be the domain name (cleaned up, capitalized, drop the '.com', etc) or the guild name "Example Guild (Example Server US)"
* '''desc''' - ''Optional'' description of what can be found at the link, placed after the link in plain text.
* '''title''' - ''Optional'' text showing when the mouse is over the icon. If not defined, it will default to "External link".
* '''icon''' - ''Optional'' icon to show at start of link. Give only the image name, leave off the <nowiki>"[[File:ElinkIcon-" and ".png]]"</nowiki>. If not defined, [[File:ElinkIcon-external.png|22px]] is used. ''Do not use just ''<code>icon=</code> (blank value).''
