Usage

There are no parameters for this template. Typical usage is:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Infobox settlement ... | website = {{URL|example.com|optional display text}} }} </syntaxhighlight>

This template is for use in infoboxes. It links to property P856 (official website) at Wikidata to retrieve the website and displays in the same way as {{URL}}. If there is no property P856 at Wikidata, nothing will be displayed (unlike {{URL}} which gives an error message). When a website needs to be added or changed, simply go to the Wikidata item and add or change the website at Wikidata. With this template, no edits will be needed at the article (just refresh the page if the website is not visible). An edit link to the Wikidata property is displayed via {{EditAtWikidata}}.

The following templates implement the function of this one intrinsically:

• {{Infobox OS}}
• {{Infobox programming language}}
• {{Infobox software}}
• {{Official website}}

Modules and templates used

• Module:URL via {{URL}}
• Module:Wd via {{Wikidata}}
• Module:If empty via {{If empty}}
