Template:Mailto

This template allows to write mail addresses comfortably in the LDRAW Wiki, in a more beautiful syntax that the standard MediaWiki one.

Parameters

• parameter 1 (mandatory): e-mail address
• parameter 2 (optional): custom link text

Example

• writing {{mailto|[email protected]}} yields [email protected]
• writing {{mailto|[email protected]|my link text}} yields my link text

Why not Using the Standard MediaWiki Syntax?

The standard MediaWiki syntax for writing a mailto: link is [mailto:[email protected]], which will not (!) display the mail address. See here: [1] To avoid that effect and see the address, you have to repeat the mail address twice, i.e. [mailto:[email protected] [email protected]]. This will yield [email protected]. Having to write the address 2 times of course is tedious and error-prone. To counteract that trouble, this template has been added.
