Updated transclusion at bottom of page.

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{subst only|auto=yes}}
{{unsigned templates}}

==Usage==
This template adds a line below a quoted text to list: the original location; original posting user; original posting time-and-date; and/or the diff of the original posting.

{{tlxs|quotedfrom|''location''|''user''|''time''|''oldid''}}

==Parameters==
This template takes four '''expected''' parameters (not required, but expected either in sequence or by named variable):
#'''''location='''''   The page where this text was originally posted (without double-brackets).
#'''''user='''''   The username who posted it (without the "User:" prefix);
#'''''time='''''   The UTC time-and-date of the original posting (as seen first in the entries on, for instance, [{{fullurl:Special:Mytalk|action=history}} '''this''' user's talkpage history]);
#'''''oldid='''''   The "oldid=" number of the post's diff (as seen in the URLs of the entry's "(cur)", "(last)", and time-and-date links).

==Examples==
For the least typing, just provide the values in '''''location - user - time - oldid''''' sequence:

''Code:'' <code><nowiki>{{subst:quotedfrom|User talk:EVula|Ben|09:47, 26 February 2007|111045354}}</nowiki></code>

''Result:'' — Preceding text originally posted on [[User talk:EVula]] ([//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:EVula&diff=prev&oldid=111045354 '''diff''']) by [[User:Ben|Ben]] ([[User talk:Ben|talk]]⋅[[Special:Contributions/Ben|contribs]]) 09:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

If the named variables are used, these don't need to be kept in the same sequence:

''Code:'' <code><nowiki>{{subst:quotedfrom|user=Ben|time=09:47, 26 February 2007|oldid=111045354|location=User talk:EVula}}</nowiki></code>

''Result:''— Preceding text originally posted on [[User talk:EVula]] ([//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:EVula&diff=prev&oldid=111045354 '''diff''']) by [[User:Ben|Ben]] ([[User talk:Ben|talk]]⋅[[Special:Contributions/Ben|contribs]]) 09:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

As long as the correct "oldid" is provided, the location is ''not really necessary:''

''Code:''<code><nowiki>{{subst:quotedfrom||Ben|09:47, 26 February 2007|111045354}}</nowiki></code>

''Result:''— Preceding text originally posted '''[//en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?oldid=111045354 here]''' by [[User:Ben|Ben]] ([[User talk:Ben|talk]]⋅[[Special:Contributions/Ben|contribs]]) 09:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

If other values are left out, the template will simply bypass them:

''Code:''<code><nowiki>{{subst:quotedfrom|WP:APBB}}</nowiki></code>

''Result:''— Preceding text originally posted on [[WP:APBB]]

''Code:''<code><nowiki>{{subst:quotedfrom||Jimbo Wales}}</nowiki></code>

''Result:''— Preceding text originally posted by [[User:Jimbo Wales|Jimbo Wales]] ([[User talk:Jimbo Wales|talk]]⋅[[Special:Contributions/Jimbo Wales|contribs]])
