{{MM/doc}} is a template that creates a human-readable link from the true page name of a Myth Makers page. Out of necessity, the most economical way to name a page about a particular Myth Makers page is to follow T:NO TITLE and make it in the following form:

MM media #

So, we end up with MM VHS 3 and MM DVD 7. That keeps the pages straight, but it may not be the most human-friendly thing in the world. So, if we instead type {{MM|VHS 3}} we'll get Nicholas Courtney, a link on the name of the person who's the subject of that volume.

If you want to change the name of the link, simply enter that other name as the second parameter. Hence, {{MM|VHS 1|the Michael Wisher ''Myth Makers'' interview}} results in the Michael Wisher Myth Makers interview.

Note that you can include the full page name if you want; {{MM|DVD 1}} and {{MM|MM DVD 1}} have the same effect.
