قالب:URL
This template is used in MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-custom-URL. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid large-scale disruption, any changes should first be tested in this template's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this template. Please discuss any changes at the talk page before implementing them. |
Uses Lua: |
This template creates a formatted external link. It formats the appearance of displayed URLs, while making them machine-readable as part of emitted microformat meta-data, inside templates such as infoboxes.
Note: If you wish to display text instead of the URL (e.g. website instead of example

Usage
{{URL|example.com}}
- The first parameter is parsed to decide whether it is a complete URL. If it doesn't start with a URI scheme (such as "http:", "https:", or "ftp:"), the prefix "http://" is prepended to the specified generated target URL of the link.
- Parameter 2 (
{{URL|url name|optional display text}}
) is deprecated. See note above for more information and alternative templates.
URL with = character should use numbered parameters
If the URL contains an equals sign, as is common in a query string, the parameter |1=
should be used for the URL ({{URL|1=example.com}}
). This applies when the value of the URL is unknown, for example, when this template is used in another template specifying the effective URL as a variable value
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
The template attempts to handle simple cases where a URL containing an equals sign is specified without the necessary |1=
, but it is still better practice to pass it in.
The deprecated second parameter for the displayed text, if present in legacy uses, must also be explicitly numbered if the first parameter is explicitly numbered ({{URL|1=url name|2=optional display text}}
); otherwise it will override the value of the first parameter:
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
Examples
The template displays an instructional message if there is no input:
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
The template wraps the output in <span>...</span>
(see § Microformat) and adds <wbr/> before displayed periods:
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
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:
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}

{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
{{URL}}

If the path is only a slash (/
) it is not displayed in the link text:
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
The template also adds <wbr/> before any displayed slashes (/
) in the path:
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
Upper case in the domain name is preserved in the URL, but not in the link text (upper case in the path is not changed):
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
For a URL containing an equal sign (=
), use |1=
:
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
The template currently supports an optional second parameter which is used as the link text, though its use is discouraged (see note):
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}
Error: expandTemplate: template "URL/sandbox" does not exist
{{URL}}
{{URL|example.com|optional display text}}
{{URL/sandbox}}

The URL may be obtained from Wikidata as shown in this example for [خطأ: الوظيفة "wdurl" غير موجودة. عدد أڤوگادرو (Q23317)], where the property official website (P856) contains :

Microformat
The template wraps the displayed URL with a class="url"
so that it is included in any parent microformat which takes a URL parameter – see our microformats project.
