{{Elx/doc}}, short for external link x, provides a template for a very general external link, designed for use in the section of the same name. It can be used in two different ways.
If it's a simple link to a subject's official website, please use {{official website}} instead.
For inter-wiki links, that is, links to any other wiki, please use {{iwx}}.
Method 1[[edit source]]
The first method is completely free-form. You can type in just about anything, and the template will both bullet it and make sure that external links do not display a symbol to the top right, like this.
Input[[edit source]]
{{elx|This is completely free-form.}}
Output[[edit source]]
- This is completely free-form.
Input[[edit source]]
{{elx|An [http://www.mdtheatreguide.com/2013/11/a-quick-5-with-michael-goldsmith/ interview with '''Michael Goldsmith'''] at [http://www.mdtheatreguide.com/ MD Theatre Guide]}}
Output[[edit source]]
Method 2[[edit source]]
The second is a more automated template for links to sites outside of the scope of MediaWiki. page url defines the url of the page to which you want to link; page name, which defaults at {{PAGENAME}} — or whatever the page the template's on is called — is for the title of that page; and, optionally, website url and website name do the same for but for the website.
Input[[edit source]]
{{elx|page url=http://www.ibdb.com/person.php?id=494668|page name=Arthur Darvill|website url=http://www.ibdb.com/|website name=Internet Broadway Database}}
Output[[edit source]]
Doctor Who website[[edit source]]
If you set website name to "Doctor Who website", it will produce:
The specification of website url is not generally necessary for the Doctor Who website, as it defaults to the current website. This feature is also available for doctorwho.tv, Torchwood website and Class website.
If linking to an episode page, on the most current Doctor Who website, {{bbc.co.uk}} should be used instead. Instructions here.
