Template:TORweb/doc

Usage instructions

{{TORweb|subdomain=|url=|text=|int=|date=|archivedate=|archiveurl=|archivefile=|nobackup=}}

Required parameters

• |url= The URL of the web page, minus https://www.swtor.com/.
• |text= The formatted text to display.
• For archive options, see Backup links below. While the template support both archiveurl and archivedate parameters, it's designed to work with only the archivedate parameter, and should be used that way. However, archivedates should be put into Module:ArchiveAccess/TORweb, a centralized repository of archivedates for all swtor.com URLs; this allows TORweb to be used on an article without explicitly providing an archivedate, and the template will auto-provide one.

The "url", "text", and "int" fields need to be explicitly assigned to as, otherwise, use of the "=" symbol in the links messes up the template.

Optional parameters

• |subdomain= The subdomain part of the URL if its not www as highlighted here: https://accounts.swtor.com. Default is www if left blank.
• |int= This field provides a link to the Wookieepedia article, if one exists.
• |date= Full date of publication, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, for example "date=2006-02-17".

For the commonly-referenced Patch Notes, {{TORweb/Patch}} can be used with just the patch number, and it will auto-generate the URL, text and archivedate.

Backup links

Instructions for providing a backup link In accordance with our Sourcing policy, all links to external sites must include a link to a backup version, preferably using Internet Archive. Instances that do not include one of the following parameters will result in the page being placed in the maintenance category. Please only use one of the following parameters. |archivedate=20250520233548 This parameter uses the timestamp feature of Internet Archive. The URL supplied earlier in the template, along with archivedate, will provide a link to Internet Archive. |archiveurl=https://archive.is/EfD8P If Internet Archive does not work for the link in question, you can use archiveurl to provide a full URL to another backup website, such as archive.is. |archivefile=File:Jon_Favreau_The_Mandalorian.png If none of the archiving sites work, then provide a link to a screenshot of the page, uploaded to Wookieepedia, as per Wookieepedia:Mofferences/June 29, 2014. |nobackup=1 If no backup link can be found for content that is no longer available, this parameter can be used. If the content is still available, you can screenshot and upload it to Wookieepedia instead. |nolive=1 If the original content is no longer available, this parameter can be used, which will make the template add "content now obsolete;" to the citation. This may also mean a backup link can no longer be provided, and therefore may be used as well as |nobackup=1. Some citation templates such as {{SWArchive}} link to older content that is known to be no longer available, and therefore automatically default to |nolive=1 without the need to add the parameter manually. Note that for citation templates using a central repository (/Archive subpage), archivedate values must be added to the repository, and not on the individual instance of those templates.
