Template:Case preserving encode/doc
From InCircuit
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.
Usage
-
{{Case preserving encode|São Paulo}}
gives: S%C3%A3o_Paulo -
{{Case preserving encode|são Paulo}}
gives: s%C3%A3o_Paulo
