== Linking to a Quest ==
This tutorial will assume you have already read and understand the beginner level tutorial [[RoF/misc/helping/Creating a link to a Zone|Creating a link to a Zone]]

This tutorial will use the following quest as an example: {{AbsLink|RoF/Zones/shardslanding|Beating the Beetles}}

So just like the '''ZoneLink''' template we will approach it the same way as far as how to link to the content.  First I need to know what I want to link to.  So Quests are found in Zones, which Zones have Zone pages.  So if there is a Zone page in theory I should be able to access it, yep {{ZoneLink|shardslanding}}.  So what I need from the zone page is its actual page name.  You may recall from a previous tutorial talking about this: [[RoF/misc/helping/How to edit a Page|How to edit a Page]].

Okay now I have the page name.  Now I need the Quest name.  No problem this is available in game, or through the wiki directly.  Let's review what I have.

# '''Template Name''': As discussed in general this is: '''AbsLink''' - check
# '''Page Name''': '''RoF/Zones/shardslanding''' - check
# '''Quest Name''': '''Beating the Beetles''' - check

Now all we have to do is use the template.  Below is the copy and paste version
<pre>
{{AbsLink|RoF/Zones/shardslanding|Beating the Beetles}}
</pre>

So you will notice that there are all 3 pieces of information present in the Template.  Now you should easily be able to link to any shardslanding quest by changing the quest name.  If you wanted to link to a quest in say grelleth, you would have to change two things.  the '''Page Name''', and the '''Quest Name'''.

Templates can have multiple parameters separated by pipes |.  This enables us to have templates like AbsLink.
