Usage

Template idea for the prefix "Media:"

Media: vs. :File:

Both prefixes display a link instead of the image itself but there are some key differences:

Prefix Special:UnusedFiles prevention Provides a file page link
Media: A green check mark, used to indicate when something is true or applicable. A red "X" mark, used to indicate when something is false or not applicable.
:File: A red "X" mark, used to indicate when something is false or not applicable. A green check mark, used to indicate when something is true or applicable.

That's what this template addresses by bring the best of both worlds together. This template should be used in main articles only!
