This template is a "subroutine" of {{tl|Citation/core}} used for conditionally making links for the <code>chapter=</code> and <code>title=</code> fields in a citation. <br />
<br />
It is invoked as:<br />
: <tt><nowiki>{{Citation/make link </nowiki> </tt><br />
:: | <tt>1</tt> = ''<value of ''<tt>IncludedWorkURL=</tt>'' or ''<tt>URL=</tt>'' or ''<tt>PMC=</tt>'' parameters>'' <br />
:: | <tt>2</tt> = ''<value of ''<tt>IncludedWorkTitle=</tt>'' or ''<tt>Title=</tt>'' parameters>''<br />
: <tt><nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt><br />
<br />
It uses the following algorithm:<br />
# If the first parameter is empty, it returns the second parameter as plain text.<br />
# If the first parameter is a URL, it returns the second parameter wrapped inside an external link to the first.<br />
<br />
This "subroutine" is designed for {{tl|Citation/core}} and makes assumptions that may not be valid elsewhere.<br />
<br />
Examples:<br />
* "<code><nowiki>{{Citation/make link||BBC News front page}}</nowiki></code>" produces "{{Citation/make link||BBC News front page}}".<br />
* "<code><nowiki>{{Citation/make link|http://news.bbc.co.uk/|BBC News front page}}</nowiki></code>" produces "{{Citation/make link|http://news.bbc.co.uk/|BBC News front page}}".<br />
