 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Urltowiki. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
This template takes a wiki URL and outputs the equivalent wikilink, with optional display text. It is useful for quickly creating properly formatted wikilinks to talk page sections or external wikis. It accepts URLs from most Wikimedia wikis. The template should usually be substituted, but will work with transclusion as well.
If given a partial URL (without the protocol and the host name) the template will remove any underlines and decode percent-encoded characters. If given a valid URL that is not recognised as a Wikimedia wiki, it will output the URL unlinked. See below for how to add new wikis.
The shortcut {{u2w}} is available.
A similar URL-to-wikitext transformation can be done directly in the edit window using the User:Js/urldecoder user script.
