Problems with token linking on descriptions

Hi all! I've been trying to link tokens on my deck/list descriptions but I don't seem to be able to do so. I've found this post where it explains how to do it but it doesn't works for me.

Basically what I'm doing is:

[[token:insect]]
or
[[token: 1/1 insect]]

But it just shows plain text: token:insect.

If, instead of token I write card, then it kinda works, but I can't change the stats and it always shows a 0/1 token: Insect.

Thanks in advance!

Insect 1/1 G

Angel 4/4 W

Angel 4/4 W w/ Vigilance

The syntax here is to write ((Name P/T Color w/ other abilities))

[[Insect 1/1 G]]

[[Angel 4/4 W]]

[[Angel 4/4 W w/ vigilance]]

You can also add a set abbreviation at the end.

The quickest way I've found to get the specific name of a token is to start a playtest of a deck that makes the token you want, then find it in the Create Token menu.

Shark X/X U

[[Shark X/X U (IKO)]]

If all the tokens of a given type have the same abilities, or there's only one token for that type, go with the minimalist approach. If different Shark tokens get added, the description will probably change.
