The template

...

Usage

This shortens URLS.
Note: Requires Extension:StringFunctions

Usage

{{ShortURL
|url    =
|count  =
|suffix =
|tolerance   =
|forcecount  =(1)
|forceprefix =(1)
}}
  • 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 / default: 0
forcecount=1 overrides the (default) tolerance and forces a strict count.

Examples

{{ShortURL|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page}}

Result: delete me
