The template
{{#ifexpr:{{#len: {{{string|}}} }} > {{#expr:{{{count|25}}}{{#ifeq:{{{forcecount}}}|yes||+{{{tolerance|5}}}}}}}
|{{#sub:{{{string|}}}|0|{{{count|25}}}}}{{{suffix|}}}
|{{{string|}}}
}}
Usage
This shortens strings. This can be used to shorten URLs or included text.
Note: Requires Extension:StringFunctions
Usage
{{Short
|string =
|count =
|suffix =
|tolerance =
|forcecount = (yes)
}}
- count: optional / default: 25
- The number of displayed characters (white space / blanks are counted).
- It uses a tolerance of 5. So if you define count=10 the string will not be shortened if it is between 1 and 15 characters long.
- suffix: optional / default: " …" (not ...)
- Adds an suffix at the end of the shortened string.
- tolerance: optional / default: 5
- Override the default tolerance.
- forcecount: optional
- Override the (default) tolerance and use a strict count.
Examples
{{Short|string=123456789|count=3}}
Result: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".
{{Short|string=Abiliter Frustro quo Latro pax Ethologus nec ico ops Fabrico innotesco.|count=50}}
Result: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".
{{Short|string=Abiliter Frustro quo Latro pax Ethologus nec ico ops Fabrico innotesco.|count=500}}
The sring shorter than the count. It will be fully returned without suffix.
Result: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".
{{Short|string=123456789|count=5}}
The tolerance of 5 returns the string unshortened (9 – 5 = <=5)
Result: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".
{{Short|string=123456789|count=5|forcecount=yes}}
We force the count so it is shortened.
Result: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".
{{Short|string=123456789|count=5|tolerance=2}}
We use a tolreance=2.
Result: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".
{{Short|string=123456789|count=7|tolerance=2}}
We use a tolreance=2 and count=7.
Result: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".
