This template creates a link to a comic for inline citations, for instance:
- {{comics|1880|1}} creates {{#if:||[[}}Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 1|Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 #1']]
- {{comics|bsgvsbsg|1}} creates {{#if:||[[}}Battlestar Galactica vs. Battlestar Galactica 1|Battlestar Galactica vs. Battlestar Galactica #1']]
- {{comics|cw|1}} creates {{#if:||[[}}Battlestar Galactica: Cylon War 1|Battlestar Galactica: Cylon War #1']]
- {{comics|origins|1}} creates {{#if:||[[}}Battlestar Galactica: Origins 1|Battlestar Galactica: Origins #1']]
- {{comics|starbuck|1}} creates {{#if:||[[}}Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 1|Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck #1']]
- {{comics|vol3|1}} creates {{#if:||[[}}Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 1|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 {{#if:||[[}}Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 1|#1']]
It can also print out the comic title without being linked:
- {{comics|starbuck|1|nolink=y}} creates {{#if:y||[[}}Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 1|Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck #1'
