Template:Oldid2

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 24,000 pages, so changes to it will be widely noticed. Please test any changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Please consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

An enhancement of {{oldid}} which does not need the page title to be specified (since there are no oldid conflicts between pages) and which also allows linking to a specific section in the page.

Typical usage:

{{oldid2|Revision number|Label}}

{{oldid2|Revision number|Section name|Label}}

Code	Output
`{{oldid2\|123456789\|External links\|Pgp688's version of "Boston Latin School"}}`	Pgp688's version of "Boston Latin School"
`{{oldid2\|123456789}}`	[2]
`{{oldid2\|123456789\|Pgp688's version of "Boston Latin School"}}`	Pgp688's version of "Boston Latin School"
`{{oldid2\|123456789\|External links\|}}`	[3]

Note that if the third parameter is used, even if empty, the 2nd specifies the section of the page, instead, and the 3rd specifies the link text.
