Template:URL2
This template uses Lua: |
This is a fork of Template:URL for use in infoboxes.
It behaves similarly to {{URL}} with the following exceptions:
- By default it does not display anything if the parameters are blank or omitted. Template:URL displays {{URL|example.com|optional display text}} by default.
- It implements a parameter
|msg=
that turns on or off the message {{URL|example.com|optional display text}}. Setting msg to false or anything beginning with n or N will suppress the message. Anything else enables the message. - It strips html tags and wiki-link markup from the supplied url parameter.
- It truncates the url parameter at the first space it finds.
- It can take its own output as input, allowing website parameters to be wrapped in in the design of an infobox, without causing problems if editors add
|website={{URL|some.url.com}}
in an article.
Usage
[kulemba source]{{URL2|url}}
{{URL2|1=url}}
Examples
[kulemba source]Different from Template:URL
[kulemba source]If there is no input, the default behavior of URL2 is to display nothing (use |msg=
to display the instructional message):
{{URL2| }}
→
{{URL2|msg=yes| }}
→ {{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL2|msg=true| }}
→ {{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
URL2 handles formatting commonly found in the |website=
parameter of an infobox:
{{URL2|[http://www.example.com]}}
→ www.example .com
{{URL2|http://www.example.com|website}}
→ website
{{URL2|{{URL|www.example.com}}}}
→ www.example .com
{{URL2|{{URL2|www.example.com}}}}
→ www.example .com
Same as Template:URL
[kulemba source]The template wraps the output in <span>...</span>
(see § Microformat) and adds <wbr/> before displayed periods:
{{URL2|www.example.com}}
→ www.example .com <span class="url">[http://www.example.com www<wbr/>.example<wbr/>.com]</span>
The use of http://, https://, a protocol-relative URL, or a different protocol is preserved in the URL but is not shown in the link text:
{{URL2|http://www.example.com}}
→ www.example .com <span class="url">[http://www.example.com www<wbr/>.example<wbr/>.com]</span>
{{URL2|https://www.example.com}}
→ www.example .com <span class="url">[https://www.example.com www<wbr/>.example<wbr/>.com]</span>
{{URL2|//www.example.com}}
→ www.example .com <span class="url">[//www.example.com www<wbr/>.example<wbr/>.com]</span>
{{URL2|ftp://ftp.example.com}}
→ ftp.example .com <span class="url">[ftp://ftp.example.com ftp<wbr/>.example<wbr/>.com]</span>
If the path is only a slash (/
) it is not displayed in the link text:
{{URL2|https://www.example.com/}}
→ www.example .com <span class="url">[https://www.example.com/ www<wbr/>.example<wbr/>.com]</span>
The template also adds <wbr/> before any displayed slashes (/
) in the path:
{{URL2|https://www.example.com/path}}
→ www.example .com /path <span class="url">[https://www.example.com/path www<wbr/>.example<wbr/>.com<wbr/>/path]</span>
For a URL containing an equal sign (=
), use |1=
:
{{URL2|1=http://www.example.com/path?section=17}}
→ www.example .com /path?section=17 <span class="url">[http://www.example.com/path?section=17 www<wbr/>.example<wbr/>.com<wbr/>/path?section=17]</span>
Microformat
[kulemba source]The template wraps the displayed URL with class="url"
so that it is included in any parent microformat which takes a URL parameter - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats.
