Usage

The template can be used to mark external links.

This template grants that external links will be collected in category:External Link. So we keep an overview of external links and control their actuality routinely.

For Links to pages on the railML®-site (http://railml.org), please use Template:Site.

Please, consider, that the template contains an exception for links to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), as there are too many links to W3C data types — we want to avoid the reading flow being disturbed.

Arguments

The template has an obligatory and five optional argument:

  • Obligatory; unnamed
    • 1: the link target, e.g. http://uic.org
      Notice: the mediawiki software will misinterpret URLs containing the equality sign (=). Replace equality signs in URLs with the HTML-entity &#61;.
      Example: replace {{external|http://www.railml.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=469&start=0&}} with {{external|http://www.railml.org/forum/index.php?t&#61;msg&th&#61;469&start&#61;0&}} as to display http://www.railml.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=469&start=0& (external link)
  • Optional
    • 2 or text: the link text. If it is empty, the link target will be used as link text. This argument can be used both named or unnamed.
    • date: the publication date of the file
    • type: the file type, e.g. PDF
    • lang: the language of the link target file, e.g. EN
    • visited: the date when the file was visited
    • inlang: en (=default), de or fr for a notice in the language of the context
    • comment: anything that does not fit into the other parameters; a string to be displayed directly

If the second argument is unnamed (example: {{external|http://example.ex|some example text}}), it will be interpreted as link text. If the second argument is named (example:{{external|http://example.ex|type=some file format}}), it will be interpreted according to the argument name.

Examples
