{{shortcut|2|LLT|H:LT}}
Bulbapedia has a large selection of '''link templates''' that are used in [[Help:Wikicode|wikicode]] to enable the quick addition of links or images within an article.

Bulbapedia's policy with linking is to make certain the consistency of related pages; for example, while there is no other thing known as ''Fire Blast'', the [[move]] Fire Blast is located at [[Fire Blast (move)]]. This is so that there is consistency with linking to articles on moves, as some, like {{m|Psychic}}, share their name with another aspect of Pokémon.

While more often, this would be easily done simply by linking the article as <code><nowiki>[[Fire Blast (move)|Fire Blast]]</nowiki></code>, this requires much tedious punctuation, with vertical pipes and parentheses typed over and over for a Pokémon's moveset. For this reason, {{cat|link templates}} were created, which allow anyone to link to an article with a certain suffixed or prefixed word, and link the article as its base name. Fire Blast is linked as <code><nowiki>{{m|Fire Blast}}</nowiki></code>, so that it appears as {{m|Fire Blast}}.
