Template:used in system

This is the Template:tl meta-template.

This template is used inside the templates Template:tl, Template:tl, and Template:tl. (And it might be used in other templates too.)

This template is used to URL-encode wiki page names for external links to other MediaWiki wikis. Since MediaWiki's own URL-encode functions don't work when making links to other MediaWiki wikis.

This template preserves the case of the first character, and it correctly preserves the namespace name.

[edit] Usage

• {{Case preserving encode|São Paulo}} gives: S%C3%A3o_Paulo
• {{Case preserving encode|são Paulo}} gives: s%C3%A3o_Paulo

[edit] Technical details

For a detailed explanation of the methods used in this template see the talkpage of {{sec link}}.
