This template is used to refer to URLs. This allows us to track where raw URLs are used, so we can keep them up to date easily.

To use, include {{url ref|url=http://...|text=|site=}}

  • {{{url}}} and {{{text}}} the link and link-text
  • {{{site}}} indicates which website the page is on
  • {{{date}}} is the publication date (yyyy-mm-dd)
  • {{{pre}}} is included before the link
  • {{{post}}} is included after the link
  • {{{name}}} replaces the generated name
  • {{{group}}} sets the reference group

for example: 

 {{url ref|name=luckspren|url=http://inkthinker.deviantart.com/art/The-Way-of-Kings-Skyeels-180124400|text=Skyeel Illustration Description|site=[[Inkthinker]]'s DeviantArt}}

which produces:[1]

  1. ↑ Skyeel Illustration Description
    — Inkthinker's DeviantArt #


If you are referencing the same URL multiple times on one page you must use 

{{url ref|name}}

(where "name" is the name you defined in the template) every time it is referenced in the text and put the full template at the bottom of the article between 

<references>

and 

</references>

In our example, if you referenced that URL multiple times on the page you would put 

{{url ref|luckspren}}

every time it is referenced and put 

<references>

{{url ref|name=luckspren|url=http://inkthinker.deviantart.com/art/The-Way-of-Kings-Skyeels-180124400|text=Skyeel Illustration Description|site=[[Inkthinker]]'s DeviantArt}}


</references>

on the bottom of the page.
