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.
((subst: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, 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: ((subst:quotedfrom|User talk:EVula|Ben|09:47, 26 February 2007|111045354))
Result: — Preceding text originally posted on User talk:EVula (diff ) by Ben (talk ⋅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: ((subst:quotedfrom|user=Ben|time=09:47, 26 February 2007|oldid=111045354|location=User talk:EVula))
Result: — Preceding text originally posted on User talk:EVula (diff ) by Ben (talk ⋅contribs ) 09:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
As long as the correct "oldid" is provided, the location is not really necessary:
Code: ((subst:quotedfrom||Ben|09:47, 26 February 2007|111045354))
Result: — Preceding text originally posted here by Ben (talk ⋅contribs ) 09:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
If other values are left out, the template will simply bypass them:
Code: ((subst:quotedfrom|WP:APBB))
Result: — Preceding text originally posted on WP:APBB
Code: ((subst:quotedfrom||Jimbo Wales))
Result: — Preceding text originally posted by Jimbo Wales (talk ⋅contribs )
