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.
Here is what that example looks like:
[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.
