The template

...

Usage

This shortens external URLs. Consider that shortened URLs may cause wrong copy-paste by unexperienced users.
Note: Requires Extension:StringFunctions

Usage

{{ShortURL
|url    =
|count  =
|suffix =
|domainonly =(yes)
|domainbold =(yes)
|tolerance  =
|forcecount =(yes)
}}
  • count: optional / default: 30
The number of displayed characters. It counts and returns the string without "http://" and "www." (if the URL is longer than the default 30 characters).
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. It is not recommend to set an empty suffix.
  • domainonly: optional
domainonly=yes will only display the domain (including subdomains if given). A setting for count is useless here.
  • domainbold: optional
domainbold=yes will highlight the domain bold. This is useful for lists of many different external URLs.
  • tolerance: optional / default: 5
Override the default tolerance.
  • forcecount: optional / default: no
forcecount=yes overrides the (default) tolerance and forces a strict count.

Examples

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

Result: delete me

{{ShortURL|url=http://www.imdb.com|suffix=....}}

The sring shorter than the count (default 30). It will be fully returned without suffix.
Result: delete me

{{ShortURL
|url=http://www.google.de/search?q=DLP&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:de:official&client=firefox-a
|count=50}}

Result: delete me

{{ShortURL
|url=http://www.google.de/search?q=DLP&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:de:official&client=firefox-a
|count=50
|suffix='''....'''}}

Result: delete me

{{ShortURL
|url=http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2008Sep#Hack_for_search_suggestion_field_width_will_be_obsolete
|count=40
|domainbold=yes}}

Result: delete me

{{ShortURL
|url=http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Icons
|domainonly=yes}}

Result: delete me
