	Put in a string to check; when doing so, this template (CheckLinkText) itself accepts only one unnamed parameter. But when using this in another template, the input string given to CheckLinkText should keep it should keep its parameter markup from the main template. Ensure that the parameter's default is empty. So for example, use it as: <code><nowiki>[[Manor_Lords_Official_Wiki{{CheckLinkText\|{{{parameter name\|}}} }}]]</nowiki></code> where <code><nowiki>{{{parameter name\|}}}</nowiki></code> is the parameter it is checking for link text, and the <code><nowiki>\|}}}</nowiki></code> at the end means it defaults to an empty string.

			You can put spaces before it; that's fine, whitespace in the link target is ignored. Don't add spaces between the ''end'' of its template brackets and the link brackets because those may be interpreted literally as part of the link text. If you need to do so for readability, add HTML comment/note tags (even if it is 7 characters long): <code><nowiki><!-- --></nowiki></code>

-Usage intended for other templates only. It can be used to more safely add linktext if it is possible that the input might be blank (which may break stuff by making the link invisible). It will check first to see if the input is blank, and only then decide whether it should add the pipe to change the linktext.
+Usage intended within other templates only, as a nested template. This template can be used to more safely add linktext if it is possible that the input might be blank (which may break stuff by making the link invisible). It will check first to see if the input is blank, and only then decide whether it should add the pipe to change the linktext. Finally it will add the input it recieved as the linktext.
