Curlie at Curlie

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Function

Link to the former DMOZ categories and profiles.

(AOL took DMOZ offline on March 14, 2017. This template maps to Curlie.org, a directory based on DMOZ, and maintained by the same editor community.)

Usage

This template has two distinct formats for linking to DMOZ categories and DMOZ profiles.

Categories

To link to a category, give the path to the category as the first parameter, and an optional name as the second parameter. If no name is provided, the template will use the name of the page.

{{Curlie|Path_to/Category|Category's name}}

Make sure to remove the Curlie.org domain name and any leading or trailing slashes from the path; these will be provided by the template. For instance, the URI for Abraham Lincoln's Curlie category is:

https://curlie.org/Society/History/By_Region/North_America/United_States/Presidents/Lincoln,_Abraham/

so the path should be given as:

Society/History/By_Region/North_America/United_States/Presidents/Lincoln,_Abraham

Example:

Markup	Renders as
{{Curlie |Society/History/By_Region/North_America/United_States/Presidents/Lincoln,_Abraham | Abraham Lincoln}}	Abraham Lincoln at Curlie

Any content in the article namespace which transcludes this template will be added to the tracking category Articles with Curlie links. Link checkers from both projects can ensure that these links work properly and reduce redundancy in our external links sections.

Profiles

To link to profile rather than a category, include |user as a third parameter.

{{Curlie|Your username|Your name|user}}

Example:

Markup	Renders as
{{Curlie|skrenta|Rich Skrenta|user}}	Rich Skrenta at Curlie

This template, often abbreviated as {{}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself. The code generated will be displayed inline. For a multi-line output, see {{tj}}.

Parameters

With the exception of alttext, the named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default in most cases) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc.). They may be included in any order (see Examples below). Certain templates have the parameter "on" by default; see the main table for all alternate options.

Parameter	Action	Use with {{example}}	Default active
