[edit] [purge] 50px Template documentation

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 (create \| mirror) and testcases (create) pages. Please add categories and interwikis to the /doc subpage. Subpages of this template.
