WoW Programming
Ketho, I see you are inserting a wowprog parameter. Would you like me to automate it using the amended snippet above, which priorities the custom link but produces the automatic link for funcs, events, widgets, etc. if you supply an empty parameter? DDC (talk) 16:54, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I changed my mind. I think the wowprogramming references are still useful even though it only documents older API. It would be nice to have some kind of automation for empty "wowprog" parameters, if that isn't too much work for you. Ketho 17:15, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Done via Module:Elinks-api. wowprog is now just a flag; its value doesn't matter. DDC (talk) 04:46, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
