This template is used on 1,500,000+ pages.
To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template is a "subroutine" of {{Citation/core}} used for conditionally making links for the chapter= and title= fields in a citation.

It is invoked as:

{{Citation/make link

| 1 = <value of IncludedWorkURL= or URL= or PMC= parameters>

| 2 = <value of IncludedWorkTitle= or Title= parameters>

}}

It uses the following algorithm:

If the first parameter is empty, it returns the second parameter as plain text.
If the first parameter is a URL, it returns the second parameter wrapped inside an external link to the first.

This "subroutine" is designed for {{Citation/core}} and makes assumptions that may not be valid elsewhere.

Examples:

"{{Citation/make link||BBC News front page}}" produces "BBC News front page".
"{{Citation/make link|http://news.bbc.co.uk/|BBC News front page}}" produces "BBC News front page".

The above documentation is transcluded from Template:Citation/make link/doc. (edit | history)
Editors can experiment in this template's sandbox (create | mirror) and testcases (create) pages.
Please add categories to the /doc subpage. Subpages of this template.
