Template:Short URL

display text

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template is used in conjunction with m:Special:UrlShortener, which creates short urls that can redirect to any page hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Example

Assume the url https://w.wiki/tR redirects to Template:Short URL/doc. Now {{short URL|tR}} creates tR, which links to the same place: here, the template's documentation page (not the template page where you likely are viewing the documentation from)

A second, optional parameter can be included to specify the display text; otherwise, it defaults to the redirect's code, in this case tR. Example:

{{short URL|tR|documentation}}

creates

documentation
