==Image link suggestion for non-English use==
Just something I noticed: On non-English pages using this template will result in dead links for any image. It's easy to miss when editing due to the link coming from an image there will be no red text. Since it doesn't do this on English this will be a common trap when translating pages, because the <code>|link=</code> parameter wasn't originally needed/used. Example:
{| class="wikitable"
|English
|German (& others)
|-
|<table><tr><td>{{Quality|Apple|gold|24}}</td><td> [[Apple]]</td></tr></table>
|<table><tr><td>{{Quality|Apple|gold|24}}</td><td> [[DE:Apfel]]</td></tr></table>
|-
|easy to use and correct links
|image links to English name / dead link
|}
If every editor pays attention to this behavior, it can be caught&corrected every time but for future-proofing and ease of use I would suggest either changing the non-English versions of this template to add link= or use the translated link such as how [[Template:Name]] {{name|Apple|class=inline}} functions.
