Template:IETF RFC
(Redirected from Template:IETF)
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. For example, 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.
