official website (P856) (see uses)
The purpose of this template is to provide a standard format for labeling links to the official website of an article's main topic.
This template can be used without specifying any parameters, if the "official website" Property (P856) is set in the respective article's Wikidata record. Just add {{official website}} to the article's External links section. If on Wikidata more than one official website is given, the entry tagged with the language being English is automatically preferred.
Two parameters are available:
1=orURL=orurl= is used to specify the URL. If this parameter is omitted, the value of "official website" Property (P856)onWikidata is used.
2=orname= is used to reformat the title if "Official website" is not suitable.
Some URLs that contain special characters, such as &or=, will break the template. The solution is to prepend the URL with 1=
To the right of each example is the displayed output. Below each example is the actual output including <span>...</span> tags.
