This template can be used to create a formatted external link. It formats the appearance of '''''displayed''''' URLs, while making them ''machine-readable'' as part of emitted [[Wikipedia:microformat|microformat]] meta-data, inside templates such as infoboxes.
 
{{Anchor|Parm2}}'''Note:''' If you wish to display text instead of the URL (e.g. [http://example.com website] instead of {{URL|example.com}}), please '''do not use this template'''. Instead, consider using normal [[Wikipedia:Help:Link#External_links|wiki markup]] or [[Wikipedia:Template:Official website|Template:Official website]]. Displaying text instead of the url will render the microformat data invalid.
