 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:External. It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
The External template adds links to the RuneScape Wiki, the RuneScape Classic Wiki, Meta Weird Gloop Wiki, and Wikipedia beside the "Discussion" tab above an article's title. The links are not added to the mobile skin.
Usage
External can be used with either unnamed parameters or named parameters. Parameter order does not matter - the order the buttons are shown in will always be RuneScape, then RuneScape Classic, then Meta Weird Gloop, then Wikipedia.
If linking to another wiki with an identical page title, specify the wiki's shorthand name in unnamed parameters:
{{External|rs|rsc|meta|wp}}

{{External|rs=Page title|rsc=Page title|meta=Page title|wp=Page title}}
Examples
An example of this template in use can be found at the top of the page, where the buttons link to Template:External/doc on RuneScape and RuneScape Classic. It is produced by the following:
