Template:NYT ext link/doc

Description

This template generates various types of links to the New York Times web site.

Usage

In its simplest form the template takes a URI and a link name and displays the link with description appended:

Code:

{{NYT ext link|http://www.nytimes.com/|Homepage}}

Result:
Homepage at The New York Times

If you would like to simply make a link without the description you can add "inline=true", which will also work with the other parameters described below.

Code:

{{NYT ext link|http://www.nytimes.com/|Homepage|inline=true}}

Result:
Homepage

Topic page link

This template can mimic Wikipedia:Template:NYTtopic if passed a topic path through "topic=". The description is changed appropriately. If you use "topic=" you must specify the link name with "linkname=".

Code:

{{NYT ext link|topic=people/r/susan_e_rice/index.html|linkname=Susan E. Rice}}

Result:
Susan E. Rice collected news and commentary at The New York Times

Archive page link

This template can generate a link to the NYT archive site if passed an archive ID through "archive=". The archive ID usually appears after "res=" in the URI:

http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0D17FD3C55137A93C2AA178ED85F438585F9&scp=3&sq=US+Studying+Protest&st=p

If you use "topic=" you must specify the link name with "linkname=".

Code:

{{NYT ext link|archiveid=FB0D17FD3C55137A93C2AA178ED85F438585F9|linkname=The State Department's Record of Dulles' News Conference}}

Result:
