<p>1 revision imported</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>:URLs must begin with a supported [[URI scheme]]. &lt;code&gt;http://&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;https://&lt;/code&gt; will be supported by all browsers; however, &lt;code&gt;ftp://&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;gopher://&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;irc://&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;ircs://&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;mailto:&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;news:&lt;/code&gt; may require a plug-in or an external application and should normally be avoided. [[IPv6]] host-names are currently not supported.<br /> :If URLs in citation template parameters contain certain characters, then they will not display and link correctly. Those characters need to be [[percent-encoded]]. For example, a space must be replaced by &lt;code&gt;%20&lt;/code&gt;. To encode the URL, replace the following characters with:<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 5em&quot;<br /> ! sp !! &quot; !! &#039; !! &lt; !! &gt; !! [ !! ] !! { !! &lt;nowiki&gt;|&lt;/nowiki&gt; !! }<br /> |-<br /> || %20 || %22 || %27 || %3c || %3e || %5b || %5d || %7b || %7c || %7d<br /> |}<br /> :Single apostrophes do not need to be encoded; however, unencoded multiples will be parsed as italic or bold markup. Single curly closing braces also do not need to be encoded; however, an unencoded pair will be parsed as the double closing braces for the template transclusion.&lt;noinclude&gt;<br /> {{documentation}}<br /> &lt;/noinclude&gt;</div>
