Use {{CULink }} for source definitions.
Mandatory parameters (must have one of the following):
URL (url) that must contain the domain.
Example: {{ CULink | url = x.com }} ⇒ URL: x.com
Example: {{ CULink | url = tech.yahoo.com }} ⇒ URL: tech.yahoo.com
Example: {{ CULink | url = yahoo.com/news }} ⇒ URL: yahoo.com/news
URL string (url_str). Can be any part of the URL.
Example: {{ CULink | url_str = /wiki/ }} ⇒ URL String: /wiki/
Optional parameters:
Author (author).
Supports Chinese conversions via regex character classes.
Example: {{ CULink | url = youtube.com | author = People Make Games }} ⇒ URL: youtube.com , Author: People Make Games
Publisher or publication (pub).
Supports Chinese conversions via regex character classes.
Example: {{ CULink | url = mp.weixin.qq.com | pub = [遊游][戲戏]葡萄 }} ⇒ URL: mp.weixin.qq.com , Publisher: [遊游][戲戏]葡萄
Date range (date). Should have one of the comparison operators (=, >, <, >=, <=) plus a date (yyyy or yyyy-MM or yyyy-MM-dd). Comma (,) and semicolon (;) separators are used to represent AND and OR logic, respectively.
Comma (,) takes precedence in evaluation.
Examples:
{{ CULink | url = vgtime.com/topic | date = < 2023-04-21 }} ⇒ URL: vgtime.com/topic , Date: < 2023-04-21 (before and excluding April 21, 2023)
{{ CULink | url = kotaku.com | date = >= 2010, <= 2022 }} ⇒ URL: kotaku.com , Date: >= 2010, <= 2022 (between 2010 and 2022)
{{ CULink | url = kotaku.com | date = < 2010; > 2022 }} ⇒ URL: kotaku.com , Date: < 2010; > 2022 (before and excluding 2010, OR after and excluding 2022)
Technical details: The reliability categories are applied in the following order: blacklisted > deprecated > generally unreliable > marginally reliable > multi (varied reliability) > generally reliable. When date range rules are present, they always take precedence. Therefore, we encourage rules to be as specific as ever, and always include date ranges if they are part of the source evaluation.
