==The template==
 
<pre>{{#ifexpr:{{#len: {{{url|}}} }} > {{#expr:{{{count|25}}}{{#ifeq:{{{forcecount}}}|1||+{{{tolerance|5}}}}}}}
 
|[{{{url|}}} {{#sub:{{{url|}}}|0|{{{count|25}}}}}{{{suffix|…}}}]
 
|{{{url|}}}
 
}}</pre>
 
 
 
==Usage==
 
This shortens URLS.<br>Note: Requires [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StringFunctions Extension:StringFunctions]
 
 
 
===Usage===
 
<pre>{{ShortURL
 
|url    =
 
|count  =
 
|suffix =
 
|tolerance  =
 
|forcecount = (1)
 
}}</pre>
 
*'''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===
 
<pre>{{ShortURL|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page}}</pre>
 
Result: {{ShortURL|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page}}
 
 
 
<pre>{{ShortURL|url=123456789|count=3|suffix=<-The end}}</pre>
 
Result: {{ShortURL|url=123456789|count=3|suffix=<-The end}}
 
 
 
<pre>{{ShortURL|url=Abiliter Frustro quo Latro pax Ethologus nec ico ops Fabrico innotesco.|count=50}}</pre>
 
Result: {{ShortURL|url=Abiliter Frustro quo Latro pax Ethologus nec ico ops Fabrico innotesco.|count=50}}
 
 
 
<pre>{{ShortURL|url=Abiliter Frustro quo Latro pax Ethologus nec ico ops Fabrico innotesco.|count=500|suffix=<-The end}}</pre>
 
The sring shorter than the count. It will be fully returned without suffix.<br>Result: {{ShortURL|url=Abiliter Frustro quo Latro pax Ethologus nec ico ops Fabrico innotesco.|count=500}}
 
 
 
<pre>{{ShortURL|url=123456789|count=5}}</pre>
 
The tolerance of 5 returns the string unshortened (9 – 5 = <=5)<br>Result: {{ShortURL|url=123456789|count=4}}
 
 
 
<pre>{{ShortURL|url=123456789|count=5|forcecount=yes}}</pre>
 
We force the count so it is shortened.<br>Result: {{ShortURL|url=123456789|count=5|forcecount=yes}}
 
 
 
<pre>{{ShortURL|url=123456789|count=5|tolerance=2}}</pre>
 
We use a tolreance=2.<br>Result: {{ShortURL|url=123456789|count=5|tolerance=2}}
 
 
 
<pre>{{ShortURL|url=123456789|count=7|tolerance=2}}</pre>
 
We use a tolreance=2 and count=7.<br>Result: {{ShortURL|url=123456789|count=7|tolerance=2}}</noinclude>
