2x comic template test

Test template: User:Yfmcpxpj/Template:comic 2x test

Experimental template, adding a "2x" button to automatically link to the double-resolution comic images on xkcd.com.

Comics up to and including 1083 (no 2x image)

1084 was the first comic to include a 2x image, so comics before that should not have a "2x" button.

Code:

{{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.
}}

Result:

|< < Prev Comic #1083 (July 18, 2012) Next > >|

Writing Styles

Title text: 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.

Comics as of 1084

For comics as of 1084, insert a "2x" button to link directly to the higher resolution image on xkcd.com.

Code:

{{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'.
}}

Result:

|< < Prev Comic #1084 (July 20, 2012) 2x Next > >|

Title text: Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'.

Omitting 2x button

If the 2x button is broken or needs to be omitted for whatever reason, that can be done with the new omit2x parameter.

Code:

{{comic
| number    = 1085
| date      = July 23, 2012
| title     = ContextBot
| image     = contextbot.png
| titletext = If you read all vaguebooking/vaguetweeting with the assumption that they're saying everything they can without revealing classified military information, the internet gets way more exciting.
| omit2x    = true
}}

Result:
