Template:Enwp based

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on the talk page of an article to say which version of the English Wikipedia article was used as the basis for the article here.

Format

Choose one of the following:

• {{Enwp based | url= (full link to the referenced version on the English Wikipedia) }}
• {{Enwp based | 1= (full link to the referenced version on the English Wikipedia) }}
• {{Enwp based | (full link to the referenced version on the English Wikipedia) }}

If another named parameter is used, or no parameter is given, an error will be shown.

Note: The exact version of the article which was used should be referenced, not just the article itself.

• If the most current version was used, the version link can be found by clicking "Permanent link" in the sidebar on the left hand side of the page on English Wikipedia. Use the URL that appears.
• If a previous version was used, go to the history of the article at English Wikipedia and click on the date and time of the version that was used. Use the URL that appears.

Examples

• {{enwp based|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Philosophical_skepticism&oldid=346768538}}
• {{enwp based|1=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Philosophical_skepticism&oldid=346768538}}
• {{enwp based|http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Philosophical_skepticism&oldid=346768538}}
