This template is a "subroutine" of {{Cite IETF}} used for conditionally creating links to https://tools.ietf.org/ for different types of documents.
It is invoked as:
- {{Cite IETF/makelink
- | Url = <value of
|url= or |archiveurl= parameters>
- | Anchor = <section or page anchor generated from the value of the
|section= or |page= parameters>
- | Autolink = <value of
|autolink= parameter>
- | Rfc = <value of
|rfc= parameter>
- | Std = <value of
|std= parameter>
- | Bcp = <value of
|bcp= parameter>
- | Fyi = <value of
|fyi= parameter>
- | Draft = <value of
|draft= parameter>
- | Ien = <value of
|ien= parameter>
- | Rtr = <value of
|rtr= parameter>
- }}
It uses the following algorithm:
- If the
|Url= parameter is given the template will simply display that value along with an optional anchor generated from |Anchor= appended.
- If the
|Url= parameter is not given, if any of |Rfc=, |Std=, |Bcp=, |Fyi=, |Draft=, |Ien=, or |Rtr= parameters are given, and the |Autolink= parameter evaluates to anything other than no then the template will generate a url using one of the document type identifiers given.
- The template will give priority to the first of the parameters:
|Rfc=, |Std=, |Bcp=, |Fyi=, |Draft=, |Ien=, or |Rtr= in this order and create a link using the first matching parameter.
- If the
|Anchor= parameter is given, it will be appended to the generated url.
This "subroutine" is designed for {{Cite IETF}} and makes assumptions that may not be valid elsewhere.
