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.
Arguments
The template has an obligatory and three 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 =.
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=msg&th=469&start=0&}} as to display http://www.railml.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=469&start=0& (external link)
- 1: the link target, e.g. http://uic.org
- 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.
- type: the file type, e.g. PDF
- lang: the language of the link target file, e.g. EN
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.
