This template creates a link to a comic for inline citations, for instance:
- {{comics|1880|1}} creates Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 1
- {{comics|bsgvsbsg|1}} creates Battlestar Galactica vs. Battlestar Galactica 1
- {{comics|cw|1}} creates Battlestar Galactica: Cylon War 1
- {{comics|origins|1}} creates Battlestar Galactica: Origins 1
- {{comics|starbuck|1}} creates Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 1
- {{comics|vol3|1}} creates Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 1
This template can also be used to shorten a link down to the issue number itself, when citing multiple comics within the same series, e.g.:
- {{comics|starbuck|1|short=y}} creates #1
