Template:Official website/doc

This template can be used without specifying any parameters, if the "official website" Property (P856) is set in the respective article's Wikidata record. Just add {{tlx|official website}} to the article's External links section. If on Wikidata more than one official website is given, the entry tagged with the language being English is automatically preferred.

Two parameters are available:

• {{para|1}} or {{para|URL}} or {{para|url}} is used to specify the URL. If this parameter is omitted, the value of "official website" Property (P856) on Wikidata is used.
• NOTE: If this parameter is specified and doesn't match "official website" Property (P856) on Wikidata, the page is added to :Category:Official website different in Wikidata and Wikipedia for maintenance.
• If this parameter is specified but the "official website" Property (P856) on Wikidata has not been set, the page is added to :Category:Official website not in Wikidata for maintenance.
• If this parameter is not specified and there is no official website available on Wikidata, the page is added to :Category:Official website missing URL.
• {{para|2}} or {{para|name}} is used to reformat the title if "Official website" is not suitable.
• NOTE: This name should succinctly and accurately describe the external link in relation to the subject. In particular, it should not include the article subject's name as the reader reasonably expects that all external links pertain to the subject.

Some URLs that contain special characters, such as & or =, will break the template. The solution is to prepend the URL with 1=

To the right of each example is the displayed output. Below each example is the actual output including {{tag|span}} tags.

{{nowiki template demo|format=inline|output=nowiki+|code={{Official website|http://www.example.org}}}}

{{nowiki template demo|format=inline|output=nowiki+|code={{Official website|https://www.example.org}}}}

{{nowiki template demo|format=inline|output=nowiki+|code={{Official website|1=https://example.org/?action=view}}}}

{{nowiki template demo|format=inline|output=nowiki+|code={{Official website|https://example.org|name=Example}}}}

Usage in the article Amazon (company):

• {{Official website}} → {{Official website|https://www.amazon.com}} File:OOjs UI icon edit-ltr-progressive.svg

  [https://www.amazon.com Official website] File:OOjs UI icon edit-ltr-progressive.svg 

Note: If Wikidata holds two or more values in different languages, websites in English will be preferred. The module also prefers websites with a "preferred" Wikidata rank. If multiple websites are otherwise equally ranked in the module's criteria, the module will choose the website listed first.

Usage on any page without a URL in Wikidata property {{Property|P856}}:

{{nowiki template demo|format=inline|output=nowiki+|code={{Official website}}}}

One of the following categories may be added to articles using this template (via Module:Official website):

• {{clc|Official website different in Wikidata and Wikipedia}}
• {{clc|Official website not in Wikidata}}
• {{clc|Official website missing URL}}
• {{clc|Pages using Official website with unknown parameters}}

It's possible that a URL no longer references hosted content, or ends up hosting different content than intended. In this case, the {{tlx|Official website}} should be replaced with an invocation of {{tlx|webarchive}} with a title= parameter of "Official website". For example: {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051222144340/http://en.wikipedia.org/ |date=2005-12-22 |title=Official website}}. Such an invocation appears as:

:{{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051222144340/http://en.wikipedia.org/ |date=2005-12-22 |title=Official website}}

• {{Tl|Official URL}} – For inserting the official link itself as opposed to its name. Useful for Infoboxes.
