Template:FileUrl/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:FileUrl. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

By using Widget:FileUrl, this template allows local files to be used in CSS, anywhere which url() is accepted. This is usually prevented due to the security risks of external images.

Note that the wiki doesn't count the file as being "used", and thus if there's no page which embeds the file with the normal [[File:]] syntax, it will end up in Special:UnusedFiles and may get deleted. So make sure to properly use the file somewhere, like the documentation page for the template the file is being used in.

Example

Adding a background image to text inside a link: [[Diamond|<span style="padding-left:18px;background:{{FileUrl|Grid Diamond.png|16px}} no-repeat">Diamond</span>]] Diamond
