This template is a "subroutine" of {{Citation/core}} used for conditionally making links for the chapter= and title= fields in a citation.
It is invoked as:
- {{Citation/make link
- | 1 = <value of IncludedWorkURL= or URL= or PMC= parameters>
- | 2 = <value of IncludedWorkTitle= or Title= parameters>
- }}
It uses the following algorithm:
- If the first parameter is empty, it returns the second parameter as plain text.
- If the first parameter is a URL, it returns the second parameter wrapped inside an external link to the first.
This "subroutine" is designed for {{Citation/core}} and makes assumptions that may not be valid elsewhere.
Examples:
- "
{{Citation/make link||BBC News front page}}" produces "BBC News front page". - "
{{Citation/make link|http://news.bbc.co.uk/|BBC News front page}}" produces "BBC News front page".
| The above documentation is transcluded from Template:Citation/make link/doc. (edit | history) Editors can experiment in this template's sandbox (edit | diff) and testcases (edit) pages. Please add categories to the /doc subpage. Subpages of this template. |
