Category:ISU Daily links to fix
From Rofflehaus
Since the Iowa State Daily redesigned their website, all of our previous links to it are broken.
- Find the article on the Daily's new site.
- Copy the URI.
- Change the template to Template:NewISUD.
- Fill out the new template accordingly.
[edit] How to use the new template
{{NewISUD|1|2|3|4}}
Here's what the difference is using an example I recently fixed: --Freddie
| # | Description | old Template:ISUD | Template:NewISUD |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Year in XXXX | 1995 | 1995 |
| 2 | Date in XX/YY | 07/20 | 07/20 |
| 3 | Big ugly string from the URL | 3bf43c4409552 | 316268/HyVee.Getting.Larger.New.Store-1087047 |
| 4 | Pretty name for the article | Hy-Vee getting larger new store | Hy-Vee getting larger new store |
Part 3 is the only thing you have to change. For the above example, take a look at the page's URL: (I stuck in a carriage return because it wouldn't fit on the page right, but just imagine it's not there, mkay?)
http://www.iowastatedaily.com /media/paper818/news/1995/07/20/316268/HyVee.Getting.Larger.New.Store-1087047.shtml
The bold section is what you would fill in for part 3. If you're fixing a link, that's it, it should work now. If you're filling out a link for the first time, you'll have to fill it all out, obviously.
[edit] Another example

turns into:
{{NewISUD|2005|11/17|Opinion/Letter.Doll.Helps.Clean.Up.After.Iowa.Tornadoes-1107581|Letter Doll Helps Clean Up After Iowa Tornadoes}}
Letter Doll Helps Clean Up After Iowa Tornadoes (Iowa State Daily: 11/17/2005)
