Template:Dmoz

Dmoz at the Open Directory Project

Template documentation

Function

Link to Open Directory Project categories and profiles.

Usage

This template has two distinct formats for linking to Open Directory categories and Open Directory 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.

{{Dmoz|Path/To/Category|Category's name}}

Make sure to remove the dmoz.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 Open Directory category is:

http://www.dmoz.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:

{{Dmoz|Society/History/By_Region/North_America/United_States/Presidents/Lincoln,_Abraham|Abraham Lincoln}}

Appears as:

Abraham Lincoln at the Open Directory Project

Profiles

To link to profile rather than a category, include the word 'user' as a third parameter.

{{Dmoz|Your username|Your name|user}}

Example:

{{Dmoz|skrenta|Rich Skrenta|user}}

Appears as:

Rich Skrenta at the Open Directory Project
