Template:IETF RFC

Template documentation

[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template makes a link to an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments (RFC) from the RFC's numeric identifier (ID). There is a single mandatory template parameter: the RFC ID.

When to use

Use this template in articles:

• in lists of RFCs and similar technical documents,
• in explanatory footnotes (e.g., to explain what a word means in the preceding sentence),
• in infoboxes, and
• in the ==External links== section.

Don't use this template:

• If you can link to a Wikipedia article about the RFC instead, e.g., link to the Wikipedia article about the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol instead of RFC 2324.
• If the RFC is being used as a reliable source to support article content. Use {{Cite IETF }} or {{Ref RFC }} instead.

Examples

• {{IETF RFC|125}} → RFC 125
• {{IETF RFC|125|126|127}} → RFC 125, 126, 127
• {{IETF RFC|125|126|127|leadout=and}} → RFC 125, 126 and 127
• {{IETF RFC|125|126|127|link=no}} → RFC 125, 126, 127
• {{IETF RFC|125|126|127|plainlink=yes}} → 125, 126, 127
• {{IETF RFC|125|126|127|leadout=and|link=no}} → RFC 125, 126 and 127
• {{IETF RFC|125|126|127|leadout=and|plainlink=yes}} → 125, 126 and 127
