Experimental template, adding a "2x" button to automatically link to the double-resolution comic images on xkcd.com.
 
 
 
== Comics as of [[1084]] ==
 
 
 
Comic [[1084]] was the first comic to include a 2x image, so for all comics as of 1084, automatically insert a "2x" button to link directly to the higher resolution image on xkcd.com.
 
 
 
Code:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test
 
| number    = 1084
 
| date      = July 20, 2012
 
| title    = Server Problem
 
| image    = server_problem.png
 
| titletext = Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'.
 
}}
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Result:
 
 
 
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test
 
| number    = 1084
 
| date      = July 20, 2012
 
| title    = Server Problem
 
| image    = server_problem.png
 
| titletext = Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'.
 
}}
 
 
 
== Comics up to and including [[1083]] (no 2x image) ==
 
 
 
For comics ''before'' [[1084]], no double-resolution image exists, so they should ''not'' have a "2x" button.
 
 
 
Code:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test
 
| number    = 1083
 
| date      = July 18, 2012
 
| title    = Writing Styles
 
| image    = writing_styles.png
 
| titletext = I liked the idea, suggested by h00k on bash.org, of a Twitter bot that messages prominent politicians to tell them when they've unnecessarily used sms-speak abbreviations despite having plenty of characters left.
 
}}

[[Template:comic]] is also used for one-off comics hosted outside of xkcd.com, for example, [[:Category:Extra comics]].  Those comics don't have a "number", and should also ''not'' have a "2x" button.
 
 
 
Code:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test
 
| date      = October 22, 2015
 
| title    = XKCD Marks the Spot
 
| image    = world_polio_day.png
 
| before    = Original blog post on ''gatesnotes'': http://www.gatesnotes.com/Health/XKCD-Marks-the-Spot
 
| titletext    = World Polio Day XKCD comic
 
| ldomain  = gatesnotes.com/Health/XKCD-Marks-the-Spot#
 
| lappend  =
 
| extra    = yes
 
}}
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Result:
 
 
 
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test
 
| date      = October 22, 2015
 
| title    = XKCD Marks the Spot
 
| image    = world_polio_day.png
 
| before    = Original blog post on ''gatesnotes'': http://www.gatesnotes.com/Health/XKCD-Marks-the-Spot
 
| titletext    = World Polio Day XKCD comic
 
| ldomain  = gatesnotes.com/Health/XKCD-Marks-the-Spot#
 
| lappend  =
 
| extra    = yes
 
}}
 
 
 
== Omitting 2x button ==
 
 
 
If the "2x" button target is broken, or if the button just needs to be omitted for whatever reason, that can be done with the new <code>omit2x</code> parameter.
 
 
 
Code:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test
 
| number    = 1084
 
| date      = July 20, 2012
 
| title    = Server Problem
 
| image    = server_problem.png
 
| titletext = Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'.
 
| omit2x    = true
 
}}
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Result:
 
 
 
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test
 
| number    = 1084
 
| date      = July 20, 2012
 
| title    = Server Problem
 
| image    = server_problem.png
 
| titletext = Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'.
 
| omit2x    = true
 
}}
 
 
 
== Overriding 2x target ==
 
 
 
Alternatively, if the "2x" button needs to link to a different filename (for example, if the filename on xkcd.com doesn't match the filename on explainxkcd.com), the alternate filename can be specified in the <code>override2x</code> parameter.
 
 
 
Code:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test
 
| number    = 1084
 
| date      = July 20, 2012
 
| title    = Server Problem
 
| image    = server_problem.png
 
| titletext = Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'.
 
| override2x= contextbot_2x.png
 
}}
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Result:
 
 
 
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test
 
| number    = 1084
 
| date      = July 20, 2012
 
| title    = Server Problem
 
| image    = server_problem.png
 
| titletext = Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'.
 
| override2x= contextbot_2x.png
 
}}
 
 
 
This could also be used to add a "2x" button to older comics, if appropriate.
 
 
 
Code:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test
 
| number    = 1
 
| date      = September 30, 2005
 
| title    = Barrel - Part 1
 
| image     = barrel_cropped_(1).jpg
 
| titletext = Don't we all.
 
| override2x= contextbot_2x.png
 
}}
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Result:
 
 
 
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test
 
| number    = 1
 
| date      = September 30, 2005
 
| title    = Barrel - Part 1
 
| image    = barrel_cropped_(1).jpg
 
| titletext = Don't we all.
 
| override2x= contextbot_2x.png
 
}}
 
 
 
Note, however, that <code>omit2x</code> takes precedence over <code>override2x</code>.
 
 
 
Code:
 
  
<pre>
 
 
{{User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test
