Used to easily link to different comments of a reddit thread.
Usage
This template allows you to assign names to particular reddit threads, which can then be used in other reddit links on that page.
If the first parameter (or |url=) (required) matches an already defined name, that thread and subreddit will be used, otherwise this is used as the thread name.
The second parameter (or |comment=) is the comment ID.
The third parameter (or |title=) is a title or quote of the post/comment.
The forth parameter (or |author=) is the user who posted the comment.
The fifth parameter (or |date=) is the date the comment was posted.
The name parameter will assign the thread to the specified name.
The sub parameter can change the link to a different subreddit.
The context parameter allows your to change the level of context comments provided in addition to the linked comment, or removed entirely by setting it to 0. The default is 1.
The ? parameter allows you to add any queries to the link, overwriting the default context query.
Examples
- Simple link to a thread. Only the thread id (the part before the forward slash) is required, but the thread name makes a nicer looking link.
