New page

{{Template Doc|<nowiki>email address|text|template=templatename</nowiki>}}
verifies that the supplied <code>email address</code> appears to be a email address.

This is typically used in other templates to report if they've been passed something that is not an email address.

The optional
<code>text</code>
will be used if everything is alright.

If there is a problem, an error message is displayed and the page is put in [[:Category:Email Error]].
Currently obvious checks for invalid e-mail addresses (like bad or missing characters) are not implemented.

The optional
<code>templatename</code>
is used as the name of the template in the error message.
So if [[:Template:email]] calls this <code><nowiki>{{Email/Verify|...</nowiki></code>
the errors can be reported in terms of <code><nowiki>{{email|...</nowiki></code>.

{{demo table|
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{Email/Verify|name@example.com}}</nowiki>| {{Email/Verify|name@example.com}} }}
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{Email/Verify|name@example.com|[mailto:name@example.com name@example.com]}}</nowiki>| {{Email/Verify|name@example.com|[mailto:name@example.com name@example.com]}} }}
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{Email/Verify}}</nowiki>| {{Email/Verify}} }}
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{Email/Verify|}}</nowiki>| {{Email/Verify|}} }}
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{Email/Verify|not an address}}</nowiki>| {{Email/Verify|not an address}} }}
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{Email/Verify|not an address|template=email}}</nowiki>| {{Email/Verify|not an address|template=email}} }}
}}
