Template:Urldecode/doc

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

Usage

This template undoes the transformation of magic word {{urlencode:}}. For example, {{urlencode:Côte d'Ivoire}} produces C%C3%B4te+d%27Ivoire, while {{urldecode|C%C3%B4te+d%27Ivoire}} or {{urldecode|{{urlencode:Côte d'Ivoire}}}} produces Côte d'Ivoire.

An optional second argument specifies encoding QUERY, PATH, or WIKI (case-insensitive). These are the same three encodings supported by the magic word. The difference is that QUERY decodes + as a space, WIKI decodes _ as a space, and PATH does neither. Default is QUERY.

Examples

`{{Urldecode\|a+b c_d}}`	`a b c_d`

`{{Urldecode\|a+b c_d\|path}}`	`a+b c_d`
`{{Urldecode\|a+b c_d\|wiki}}`	`a+b c d`
