Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.

This template provides a shortcut markup for creating a link to a what if? article in our index.

Usage

{{what if|article number|article title}}

It also creates a unique anchor that can be linked to. Just add #NUMBER or #Title_of_the_Article to the end of an internal link to jump to the position of this template on that page (see the examples below). Note that you must use underscores instead of spaces and use sentence case, because the links are case-sensitive. Especially useful to link to a specific row of the table in What If? chapters, what if? (blog), and all the What If? book pages.

Examples

Example all by itself:

  • (not recommended) {{what if|158}} results in what if? 158 ㅤ(It links to the same page, but uses the number instead of the optional link text.)

Example in a sentence:

  • See the ''[[what if? (blog)|what if?]]'' article ''{{what if|158|Hot Banana}}''. results in See the what if? article Hot Banana.

Example anchor links:

  • But you should change the appearance by piping the link, like this: [[What If? 2#Hot_Banana|Hot Banana from What If? 2]] results in Hot Banana from What If? 2
