Template:MediaWiki URL rules

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Certain characters need to be percent-encoded. For example, a space must be replaced by %20. For search engines, spaces might need to be replaced with an underscore _ or plus sign +. Single apostrophes do not need to be encoded.
sp " ' < >
%20 %22 %27 %3c %3e
[ ] { | }
%5b %5d %7b %7c %7d




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

Unencoded apostrophes are parsed as italic or bold markup. Single curly closing braces do not need to be encoded; however, an unencoded pair will be parsed as the double closing braces for the template transclusion.
