:::Okay, this problem solved. However, I really don't like [[:template:Story link]] and so I completely excised it from the code. This is a standalone template. It'll be MUCH harder trying to use a "centralized" template and feeding off that than it would be to just have individualized templates for each prefix. There are two reasons for this. First, and most imporantly, the template really must have the same name as the prefix code as the range itself for people to remember and use it. If I have to remember to type <nowiki>{{Story link|Prefix=BFA|1=The Condemned}}</nowiki>, that's not saving me ANY time. In fact, it's harder. And if I create a {{BFA}} which runs [[:Template:Story link}} within it, then I run the risk of falling foul of an ((#if:)) parser. Way simpler just to copy and paste the code into new, standalone templates The second reason is that disambiguation challenge is different on every line. Comic stories are disambiguated (comic story), audios as (audio story), novels as (novel). Yes, you could nest all these #if clauses togther into one all -purpose Swiss Army knife, but ''why''? It's so much simpler just to cut, paste, and make prefix-appropriate changes to the prefix in question. | :::Okay, this problem solved.

:::Oh, and in case you haven't read the documentation, the solution to the disambig problem was to go with exactly the reverse idea. You don't enter "EpName (TV story)", and lop it off. You type in "Ep Name", then check to see whether it needs to be added on in the background.
