WP:LMGTFY: [{{{1}}}]
This template links to Wikipedia:You can search, too (WP:LMGTFY) (and provides a mouse-over tooltip for what the acronym means), and then provides a link to Google search results.
Usage
Basic (search terms at Google.com):
Provide the search term string, with |search=
or |terms=
:
{{LMGTFY |search=key words here -wikipedia}}
Example: WP:LMGTFY: Algerian Arab OR Arabic -sheep -wikipedia
There are no "Template:Monospace", "Template:Monospace", etc. parameters.
URL only (to any search engine):
Specify the search results URL with |url=
or |1=
:
{{LMGTFY |url=http://Google [or other search engine] search results URL here}}
The parameter must always be named one or the other because the presence of the =
character in the results URL will break the template if this parameter is not named; i.e. "Template:Monospace" will not work.
The primary use for this is to give Google News, Google Books, Google Scholar, or other more specific results, though it can also be used to provide a substitute search engine, like DuckDuckGo or Yandex, if you don't like Google.
Or provide multiple links, up to 10:
{{LMGTFY |1=URL_1 |2=URL_2 |3=URL_3}}
Example: WP:LMGTFY: [2] [3] [4]
The |1=
, etc., parameter names are mandatory, because most such URLs have the =
character in them, and this will break the template if the parameters are not named.
The above documentation is transcluded from Template:LMGTFY/doc. (edit | history) Editors can experiment in this template's sandbox (create | mirror) and testcases (create) pages. Please add categories to the /doc subpage. Subpages of this template. |
