How do I link items on WoWHead so the icon and rarity color appears?

Post by Deathbang

I've seen some people link items so that the icon and rarity color can be seen, but idk how to myself. Anyone know?

1 Wowhead.

2 insert item/spell link inside , or just hit the Link button above the post box.

That just shows the link in the normal yellow color though, it doesn't show the icon or rarity color (ie epic, blue etc.) when I do that.

It should switch once you post. Example Deprecated Orc Apprentice Pants appears yellow while I am typing this, but once I hit post it will turn grey.

I think that only works in comments, not in forums.

Timeless Nightstone
^ Timeless Nightstone

Timeless Nightstone
^ \Timeless Nightstone\

But if you go to a Comment, You can see that the items that are linked with the first style do show up as having rarity and picture.

EDIT PS! lol, As soon as I posted the (#item52098) that showed up in the live preview turned into the image and rarity style. So it works in posts too ^_^

if you precede any BBcode with a backslash ("\") it will prevent it from being processed meaning no need for the space in "" to prevent hyperlinking.

link (with anchor ^_^) with more info
