Template:Uw-deadlink

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not remove citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is not working. Dead links should not be deleted. Instead, please repair or replace the link, if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found. Links not used as references, notes or citations are not as important, such as those listed in the "External links" or "Further reading" sections, but bad links in those sections should also be fixed if possible. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Template documentation

Usage:

{{subst:uw-deadlink}}
{{subst:uw-deadlink|Article}} references a specific article
{{subst:uw-deadlink|Article|Additional text}} adds text onto the end of the message instead of "Thank you"
  • This template has been carefully designed based on guidelines by the user warnings project.
  • For usage instructions regarding this template, see documentation.
  • Please discuss the general visual appearance of these templates (for example, the image in the top-left corner) on the user warning talk page.
  • Please refer to the index of message templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending.
  • Please remember to substitute the template using {{subst:uw-deadlink}} rather than {{uw-deadlink}}.
  • This template uses a parser function. To give greater detail to your message, you may add the article name and some additional text to the end of the template.
  • Optionally, add |subst=subst: to the end of the template to reduce the code in the final output:
{{subst:uw-deadlink|Article|Additional text|subst=subst:}}
  • This should however only be done if you use the Article parameter of the template. There is a currently investigated bug on the MediaWiki software that breaks the template if you omit this parameter and use |subst=subst:.
