= Documentation =
This template creates a link to a comic for inline citations. It supports citing a single issue, a range of issues, or multiple different comics at once.

== Single Issue Citation ==
This is the basic usage for citing a single comic book issue.
* <code><nowiki>{{comics|starbuck|1}}</nowiki></code> will produce: {{comics|starbuck|1}}
* <code><nowiki>{{comics|origins|5}}</nowiki></code> will produce: {{comics|origins|5}}

You can also link to just the main series page by omitting the issue number:
* <code><nowiki>{{comics|vol3}}</nowiki></code> will produce: {{comics|vol3}}

== Issue Range Citation ==
To cite a range of issues from the same comic series, use three unnamed parameters in the format <code><nowiki>{{comics|series|start_issue|end_issue}}</nowiki></code>. This format links the series title and both the start and end issue numbers.
* <code><nowiki>{{comics|starbuck|1|4}}</nowiki></code> will produce: {{comics|starbuck|1|4}}

== Multiple Comic Citation ==
To cite issues from different comic series in one reference, use numbered parameters like <code>comic1</code>, <code>issue1</code>, <code>comic2</code>, <code>issue2</code>, etc. This format now adds a category for each comic cited.
* <code><nowiki>{{comics|comic1=starbuck|issue1=1|comic2=origins|issue2=5}}</nowiki></code> will produce: {{comics|comic1=starbuck|issue1=1|comic2=origins|issue2=5}}

== Marvel Comics ==
For Marvel comics, the parameter for the series must be '''marvel''' (all lowercase), and the issue number must be provided. The template will automatically format the link correctly.
* <code><nowiki>{{comics|marvel|13}}</nowiki></code> will produce: {{comics|marvel|13}}
* <code><nowiki>{{comics|comic1=marvel|issue1=13|comic2=starbuck|issue2=1}}</nowiki></code> will produce: {{comics|comic1=marvel|issue1=13|comic2=starbuck|issue2=1}}

=== Other Parameters ===
* '''nolink=y''': Prints the comic title without linking. Note: This currently only works for single issue citations using the first and second unnamed parameters.
**<code><nowiki>{{comics|vol3|nolink=y}}</nowiki></code> will produce: {{comics|vol3|nolink=y}}
* '''template=y''': Works in templates like infoboxes. 
** <code><nowiki>{{comics|vol3|template=y|nolink=y}}</nowiki></code> will produce: {{comics|vol3|template=y}}
* '''nocat=y''': Prevents the template from adding a category to the page.
**<code><nowiki>{{comics|vol3|nocat=y}}</nowiki></code> will produce: {{comics|vol3|notcat=y}}
* '''sup=no''': Disables the default superscript formatting for the citation.
**<code><nowiki>{{comics|vol3|sup=no}}</nowiki></code> will produce: {{comics|vol3|sup=no}}
