Link Cards

Turn pasted Steam, GitHub, Modrinth, Pokedex and Paradox Mods links into readable cards.

Set it up

1Open Link Cards under QONNECT and enable the module.
2Switch on the services your server actually talks about. Each one is off until you enable it, except Steam Workshop.
3Per service, choose what the card shows: description length, artwork size, stats, tags, dates, author.
4Set where cards may appear (every channel, an allow list, or a deny list) and a per-member cooldown.
5Under How a card gets made, choose whether a posted link turns into a card on its own or whether cards only appear when someone asks for one.

Supported today: Steam Workshop items, Steam store pages, GitHub repositories, Modrinth projects, Pokedex entries, and Paradox Mods pages (Cities: Skylines II, Hearts of Iron IV, Stellaris and others).
Only on request switches the automatic part off completely: paste all the links you like and nothing happens until someone asks for a card. Handy in busy channels where an automatic card on every link would be noise.
Cards do not only happen automatically. /linkcard create link:<url> posts one on demand, and right-clicking a message and choosing Apps, then "Create link card", builds one from a link someone already posted.
/linkcard panel (Manage Server) posts a button members press to submit a link. The card is published in that channel with a note saying who shared it, which suits a showcase channel where you would rather not see raw links.
No API keys or accounts are needed for any of them.
Cards per message can be capped at 1 to 5 so a message full of links stays readable.
"Hide Discord's own preview" needs Manage Messages; without it you get the card plus Discord's plain preview.
Pokedex can also answer to [[name]] typed in chat, and follows the server language where the Pokedex has that language.
Wording and colour per service: title and footer accept {title}, {provider} and the service's own values.
AI proposals should use module:"link-cards".
