The template

{{#ifexpr:{{#len: {{{string|}}} }} > {{#expr:{{{count|25}}}{{#ifeq:{{{forcecount}}}|1||+{{{tolerance|5}}}}}}}
|{{#sub:{{{string|}}}|0|{{{count|25}}}}}{{{suffix| …}}}
|{{{string|}}}
}}

Usage

This shortens text. Don't use this for URLs. Use {{ShortURL}} instead.
Note: Requires Extension:StringFunctions

Usage

{{Short
|string =
|count  =
|suffix =
|tolerance  =
|forcecount = (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

{{Short|string=123456789|count=3}}

Result: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".

{{Short|string=123456789|count=3|suffix=<-The end}}

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|suffix=<-The end}}

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=1}}

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 "{".
