Template:See it

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

This is specifically designed and built as a support template for List of Google easter eggs, to be used sparingly for the inclusion of some convenience links.

Plain text

For the line of text:

Searching for "this search term" is really cool.

Google web search

Add this markup:

Searching for "{{see it|this search term}}" is really cool.

Google image search

Add this markup:

Searching for "{{see it|site=image|this search term}}" is really cool.

YouTube search

Add this markup:

Searching for "{{see it|site=youtube|this search term}}" is really cool.

Google Translate

Add this markup:

Searching for "{{see it|site=translate|this search term|language code from|language code to}}" is really cool.

• Language codes default to: from "de" (German) to "en" (English).

Google Maps

The maps implementation is a little less straightforward insofar that the parameters that might be included are many and varied.

• Plain text added as the first unnamed param will be shown in place in the list, and displayed as the title of the "see it" link.
• The |querystring= should contain all the necessary URL text to complete the URL following "https://www.google.com/maps/".
  • Refer to Google's Maps API documentation for URL structuring details.

Visiting "{{see it|site=maps|this place in maps|querystring=search/free+range+eggs}}" is eggcellent.

Complex text

For the line of text:

Searching for "this <nowiki>[search]</nowiki> term" is really cool.

This markup can be used:

Searching for "this <nowiki>[search]</nowiki> term" is really cool.{{see it|term=this search term}}

|site= can be used to modify the destination.

URL text

For the line of text:

Visiting "example.org/directory/" is really cool.

This markup can be used:

Visiting "{{see it|url=example.org/directory/}}" is really cool.

"See it" link with no inline URL text

For the line of text:

Visiting the example website is really cool.

Where that line refers to a URL that is not explicitly shown, this markup can be used:

Visiting "{{see it|url=example.org/directory/|hide=yes}}" is really cool.
