Links to vehicles
I was looking into putting links pointing to each vehicle's respective pages, but I'm hitting a wall against the ones whose name do not automatically translate into a matching URL (main culprits being the captured and lend-leased vehicles). It seems the Tree Unit template is able to take the vehicles's in-game ID and get the valid URL for them, which would be optimal for this page; however, it is impractical resources-wise to use the template itself here, as there is simply too many vehicles listed on this one page. Does anyone know how that template works, and whether it's possible to reproduce that same behaviour but only get a link as output, and not an image? --Pwa_ (talk) 14:38, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
