July 2024

Thank you for helping to update URLs in university infoboxes. I noticed that you are removing the www. prefix/subdomain from URLs, but it is preferable to use the official/canonical URL. If you really wanted to hide the www., you can use {{URL|https://www.example.com|example.com}}. Also, please specify the protocol and prefer https:, where available. Thanks!

Hi Redraiderengineer! Thank you for your feedback. From what I see in the Usage section of Template:URL, using the 2nd parameter (e.g. {{URL|url name|optional display text}}) is deprecated. Should I instead use Template:Official website? I do not see any university infoboxes using this template though. BugsMeanee (talk) 04:17, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the {{URL}} template, the display text is wrapped with a class="url" to include it in the microformat data. In this case, both uses end up with the same displayed URL.

{{URL|https://www.example.com|example.com}} → example.com
{{URL|https://example.com}} → example.com

If you want to avoid the template, as you pointed out, the {{Official website}} template is an option.

{{Official website|https://www.example.com|example.com}} → example.com

There's also Template:URL2, which is a fork of the original. Redraiderengineer (talk) 15:14, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, please make sure you test that the URL you are inserting into the articles actually works. Sometimes - much more rarely these days than in the past - the www prefix is required. ElKevbo (talk) 13:04, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
