Template:Google LC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sources for {{{1}}} on Google, excluding language({{{2}}})/country({{{3}}})
Not to be confused with Template:Google LLC.
- This "Google, excluding Language, Country" template is based on the Template:Google series of templates. See Wikipedia:Search engine test for a tutorial on using search engines.
Usage
[edit ]- This takes three parameters: (1) a search phrase, (2) a language prefix, and (3) a top-level domain suffix. It creates a Google search link for the search phrase (1), omits web sites with the specified ISO_639-1 language-code web site prefix (2) (e.g. the http://es. prefix for Spanish Wikipedia), and omits web sites with the specified top-level domain country code suffix (3) (e.g. the Argentine suffix "ar", see example below).
- Use this template—on an article Talk page, Wikipedia: page, or in your User: space—to produce an external link that allows you to Google for a phrase but exclude sites with a specified language code prefix and/or country code suffix.
- It is recommended (but not required) that you SUBST: this template.
Do not use in articles
[edit ] Do not use this template in articles (as Google search links are not appropriate in articles). The template is only for talk pages and other process pages (Help desk, WikiProjects, etc.). The template will produce an error if you attempt to use it in an article.
Example
[edit ]- For the tennis player Facundo Argüello from (Spanish-speaking) Argentina, research how his name is spelled in reliable English sources. The search results should include articles with the word "tennis" but not the word "tenis" (the Spanish-language spelling), omit Spanish-language web sites prefixed with "es" (http://es. etc., like Spanish Wikipedia), omit web sites with the Argentine suffix "ar", and omit pages that cite "Wikipedia" or are on Wikipedia.org.
- It's possible to greatly simplify such a search by using this template:
{{subst:google LC|Facundo Argüello|es|ar}}displays as the following clickable external link: Sources for Facundo Argüello on Google, excluding language(es)/country(ar)*Simply click the link then add the positive and negative match terms "tennis" and "-tenis" to the search string and repeat the search.
