Template:Citation Style documentation/urls

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Newslinger (talk | contribs) at 17:31, 7 February 2019 (Replace File:Vector toolbar insert link button.png with representation of current icon used in the Vector skin's WikiEditor toolbar, File:OOjs UI icon link-ltr.svg (via WP:JWB)). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

URLs must begin with a supported URI scheme: http:// and https://will be supported by all browsers; irc://, ircs://, ftp://, news://, mailto: and gopher:// will require a plugin or an external application. IPv6 host-names are currently not supported.

URLs containing certain characters will display and link incorrectly unless those characters are encoded. For example, a space must be replaced by %20.

sp " , ' ; < > ? [ ]
%20 %22 %2c %3a %3b %3c %3e %3f %5b %5d
Single apostrophes do not need to be encoded; multiples will be parsed as italic or bold markup

The link button on the enhanced editing toolbar will encode a link.
