Template:Elx/doc

, short for external link x, provides a template for a very general external link, designed for use in the section of the same name. It can be used in two different ways.

For inter-wiki links, that is, links to any other wiki, please use instead.

Method 1
The first method is completely free-form. You can type in just about anything, and the template will both bullet it and make sure that external links do not display a symbol to the top right, like this.

Method 2
The second is a more automated template for links to sites outside of the scope of MediaWiki. defines the url of the page to which you want to link;, which defaults at  — or whatever the page the template's on is called — is for the title of that page; and, optionally,   and   do the same for but for the website.
