A single-item implementation of {{cost}}, linking icon to item page. Note that this is designed only for actual items. For gold/honor points/achievement points/arena points, use cost.

Syntax

{{costitem|<Numeric count>|<Item page name>|<Display name/desired link>}}

The third parameter is optional and should only be supplied if it differs from the second.

Examples

Hardcoded item name/icon resolution
{{costitem|1|Alterac Valley Mark of Honor}}: 1 Alterac Valley Mark of Honor
{{costitem|1|Alterac VALLEY mark OF Honor}}: 1 Alterac VALLEY mark OF Honor
Look-up through item page
{{costitem|1|Silken Thread}}: 1 Silken Thread
{{costitem|1|SILKEN Thread}}: 1 [[File:SILKEN Thread.png|SILKEN Thread|16px|link=SILKEN Thread]]
Look-up through disambiguated item page + apply caption
{{costitem|1|Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian (mage)|Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian}}: 1 [[File:Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian (mage).png|Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian|16px|link=Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian]]
Nonsense
{{costitem}}: 1 INV Misc QuestionMark
{{costitem|q}}: q INV Misc QuestionMark
{{costitem|q|}}: q Inv misc questionmark
{{costitem|q|Bad Item}}: q [[File:Bad Item.png|Bad Item|16px|link=Bad Item]]

Conclusion: if not using an item that has been hard-coded into the template, use proper capitalization and make sure the item page implements {{tooltip}} correctly.
