A few words about philosophy. The first part of this template -- that is, the bit that works on category pages, looks for the third-to-last word in the category page title. This is because all these categories should be in the format "<story name> media something images". So, TV story image, comic story images, CON episode images, whatever. All you have to do is simply change the result based on whether it detects "TV", "CON", "comic" or what have you. The only thing doesn't work for is the TVM. Thus, the second switch here really is just checking for the TVM. If later on down the line we find other exceptions, we can add them to the second switch (that is, the one immediately after Category=). Don't think there will be other exceptions, but there's an allowance for it, anyway. | |||

Instructions for {{ImageLinkTV}}
{{ImageLinkTV}}, formerly known as {{StoryImages}}, is a template that works differently in different namespaces. In the category namespace it provides a link to the story page from which the images are drawn. In the main namespace, it provides a little tag that looks. Users can then click on that image and go to the relevant category of images.
Usage
Usage is easy. Just place {{ImageLinkTV}} on both the story page and the related category page. So, you'd put {{ImageLinkTV}} on both Castrovalva (TV story) and Category:Castrovalva TV story images.
Example
It's impossible to show all that this template does in the template namespace, because it's not designed to work in this namespace. But the tag which is displayed on a story page is shown at right.
Template classification
This template is deliberately classified as "unknown" so that it will show up on a variety of devices, including phones. This is different from the policy used for the similar-looking stub tags, which we class as "notice" templates.
