ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:Official website/doc

The purpose of this template is to provide a standard format for labeling links to the official website of an article's main topic.

Usage

Basic usage

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 {{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.

Advanced usage

Two parameters are available:

• 1= or URL= or 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.
• 2= or 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=

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.

TemplateData for Official website

Template parameters

ಪರಿಮಿತಿ		ವಿವರ	ನಮೂನೆ	ಸ್ಥಾನಮಾನ
URL	1 url URL	Leave this blank to use a URL entered into Wikidata. If there is no Wikidata URL or to override the Wikidata URL, entering a URL in this field will cause the template to link to this entered field. ಮೂಲಸ್ಥಿತಿ Wikidata property P856 Example https://example.com	URL	ಐಚ್ಛಿಕ
Display text	name 2	If left blank, the template text will display the words "Official website" with the URL linked to it. This field should usually be left blank.

Tracking categories

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

• ವರ್ಗ:Official website different in Wikidata and Wikipedia (೧೭೩)
• ವರ್ಗ:Official website not in Wikidata (೩೩)
• ವರ್ಗ:Official website missing URL (೧)
• ವರ್ಗ:Pages using Official website with unknown parameters (೮)

Handling dead links

It's possible that a URL no longer references hosted content, or ends up hosting different content than intended. In this case, the {{Official website}} should be replaced with an invocation of {{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:

Official website ವೇಬ್ಯಾಕ್ ಮೆಷಿನ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ (archived 2005-12-22)
