This template uses Lua: Module:URL (sandbox)

This is a fork of Template:URL for use in infoboxes.

It behaves similarly to {{URL}} with the following exceptions:

• By default it does not display anything if the parameters are blank or omitted. Template:URL displays {{URL|example.com|optional display text}} by default.
• It implements a parameter |msg= that turns on or off the message {{URL|example.com|optional display text}}. Setting msg to false or anything beginning with n or N will suppress the message. Anything else enables the message.
• It strips html tags and wiki-link markup from the supplied url parameter.
• It truncates the url parameter at the first space it finds.
• It can take its own output as input, allowing website parameters to be wrapped in {{URL2}} in the design of an infobox, without causing problems if editors add |website={{URL|some.url.com}} in an article.
