{{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
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
{{elx|This is completely free-form.}}
Output
- This is completely free-form.
Input
{{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
Method 2
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
{{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
Doctor Who website
If you set website name to "Doctor Who website", it will be displayed like so:
The specification of website url is not necessary for the Doctor Who website, and will be ignored.
