Usage

[edit]

This template does exactly what {{format link}} does, and takes all the same arguments.

This template is intended to lower editor workload when copying links from the URL bar and is not suitable for replacing {{format link}}, because of the changes it makes to {{format link}}'s output that could create ambiguity if automatically replaced.

This template replaces any underscores with spaces and decodes any URL parts in {{format link}}'s output. Some examples of why this may be useful—

  • {{format linkr|People_of_the_Philippines_v._Santos,_Ressa_and_Rappler#Santos_Jr.'s_article|italicizepage=y}}
People of the Philippines v. Santos, Ressa and Rappler § Santos Jr.'s article
  • {{format linkr|%E6%9C%AA%E6%9D%A5%E6%97%A5%E8%A8%98#M%61nga}}
未来日記 § Manga
  • As shown in these examples, {{format linkr}} also creates a way to use curly braces in links, which requires multiple templates with {{format link}}:
    • {{hlist|{{format linkr|Template talk:T#%7B%7Bu%7D%7D}}|{{format linkr|#%7B%7Bu%7D%7D}}}}

|nud=

[edit]

|nud= (no URL decode) can be added to disable URL decoding but still get underscores replaced.

  • {{format linkr|%E6%9C%AA%E6%9D%A5%E6%97%A5%E8%A8%98#M%61_nga|nud=y}}
%E6%9C%AA%E6%9D%A5%E6%97%A5%E8%A8%98 § M%61 nga

Note that you can achieve this through the HTML5 entity _ just as well:

  • {{format linkr|pages%5Fcan’t_contain_underscores#but%5Fsections_may (though their anchors won’t!)}}
pages can’t contain underscores § but sections_may (though their anchors won’t!)
