Template:Official website/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Official website (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

The purpose of this template is to provide a standard format for labeling links to official websites. Four parameters are available:

1= is used to specify the URL. If this parameter is omitted, the value of "official website" Property (P856) on Wikidata is used.
- NOTE: If this parameter is specified and doesn't match "official website" Property (P856) on Wikidata, the page is added to Category:Official website different in Wikidata and Wikipedia for maintenance. If this parameter is specified but the "official website" Property (P856) on Wikidata has not been set, the page is added to Category:Official website not in Wikidata for maintenance.
name= is used to reformat the title if "official website" is not suitable.
- NOTE: This name should succinctly and accurately describe the external link in relation to the subject. In particular, it should not include the article subject's name as the reader reasonably expects that all external links pertain to the subject.
mobile= is optionally used if there is a different "official website" for use with Mobile Web devices
format=flash is optionally used if the website requires Adobe Flash Player software

Some URLs that contain special characters, such as & or =, will break the template. The solution is to prepend the URL with 1=
