This template uses the Wikidata property:
Mastodon address (P4033) (see uses)
 | This template uses Lua: |
Template:Mastodon user displays an external link to a page at Mastodon, a social media website. It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.
Usage[edit]
- If the Wikidata entry for a subject for the property P4033 exists, then typing {{Mastodon user}} should automatically provide the subject's Mastodon user URL; this is typically usable in a WP:EXTERNALLINK; discuss on the talk page if there is controversy about whether the external link is notable enough for that subject (person or organisation).
- If the Wikidata entry for a subject does not exist, typing {{Mastodon user|subject@instance}} should provide the URL https://instance/@subject . The result of this example is: Mastodon user/sandbox on Mastodon
- Do not use two '@' symbols:
{{Mastodon user|@subject@instance}}will give the wrong result. - You may also use {{Mastodon user|subject@instance|alternative name of this subject}} to override the name of the article in the displayed text; this will give: alternative name of this subject on Mastodon
- Using
|noon=(any value)disables the "on Mastodon" portion of the template.
