Template:TrainzLinkNeeded/doc

Usage
Template:Trainz_Link_Needed is used instead of in the form: &mdash; where the 'desired inline pretty title' is formulated into the flow of the prose in the topic being discussed in the Trainz Wikibook page.
 * Using the template in this manner allows formatting of the message, and later patching to insert the correct links.
 * Using the template will also auto-categorize the page to the maintenance category: Category:Trainz Links Fixups needed, where all pages needing link fixups will be cataloged, provided this template is used to compose (or fix broken) links in the prose.
 * If fixing a link, it is recommended the old bad url just be neutralized by prefixing '3=' to the url, which will disarm it.

The 'empty' first argument (the url) which should be between the first and second pipe characters ('|' so "||" appears) will cause a default link to the message page Template:Trainz_Link_Needed.
 * Note that adding a '3=' prefix will displace the default and  arguements so the natural edited line for a broken link might appear:

 *  Trainz themed sites which are disconnected are quite frequently links to specific pages of a site, so finding the same topic after a site's host has been changed, or the htm source page has been reorganized to a different place is the most common type of bad links in the Trainz world.
 * Occasionally, a privately hosted site will also redirect to a different page for a while the owner/host transitions his site.
 * One 'happy-now' recent example of this was various urls to :

http://jenolan.org/tag/razorback-railway/ which for several months before June 2013 redirected one's clicking a link to his personal home page: jenolan.org
