Template talk:Onion URL

v2 Onion address deprecation

Since v2 onion addresses are having support removed from Tor, and v3 addresses are absurdly long, what do we want to do with this template? Find some way to wrap them, truncate them, or should we just stop using it? --Tga (talk) 19:50, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Warp method: In any infobox, add mutiple {{wbr}} so that the length is sufficient, like this {{Onion URL|paavlaytlfsqyvkg3yqj<wbr>7hflfg5jw2jdg2fgkza5r<wbr>uf6lplwseeqtvyd}} 2409:8A44:7236:5D10:108F:1CC3:3B48:7909 (talk) 18:56, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

This isn't a good approach as it completely breaks down with whitelisted=yes when real link is created. When it isn't linked, using plain <wbr> seems okay, but {{wbr}} inserts additional zero-width space that makes the link broken when copy-pasted which is confusing and defeats the point of having sucha a long link displayed. At some point someone added hyphens: auto style to it, but it seems unlikely that any browser could find hyphenation points in something that doesn't look like a word at all. Does it work for anyone? It certainly doesn't for me. I think word-break: break-all should be used instead. – MwGamera (talk) 21:52, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Add Sub-directories and Subdomains

I have edited the functionality in Template: Onion URL/sandbox to accept both of these sources. It's useful in cases such as Proton Mail, that use different types of onion urls.

The Template: Onion URL/testcases are updated to be comprehensive, including coverage of my edits. The template should be backwards compatible with all previous usage. W00zles (talk) 02:09, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Tor Logo vs TBB Logo

@Ltbdl edited the logo, I don't disagree that the Tor specific logo is quite large.

vs

The issue I think is that we are being slightly misleading if we specify the Tor Browser Bundle logo. Software like Brave (web browser) and Curl (software) can use Onion addresses as well. The system they are using is the Tor network not the Browser Bundle.

Thoughts? W00zles (talk) 22:45, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

@W00zles: maybe the logo could just be removed? it's not clear at all that the logo is a link ltbdl (pull) 03:11, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
