Template:CTA URL lists

Options:

• regex, required, the PCRE regular expression to use for filtering, will get wrapped in single quotes for the grep command
  • Technically, this isn't actually required, but only for use on URLs.
• broad, optional, adding an extra bit about the regex being intentionally broad if non-empty

Example:

{{CTA URL lists|regex = <nowiki>\S*(foo|bar)\S*</nowiki>|broad = yes}}

renders as:

How to help if you have lists of URLs

This project requires lists of URLs for content on the target website. If you have a source of URLs, please:

1. Use the regular expression \S*(foo|bar)\S* for filtering.
   • Note that this regex is intentionally broad to cover many different URL formats. Please do not try to use a more narrow pattern as it may miss valid URLs. We can always filter or transform the results as needed later.
   • If you use grep, remember to include the -a (aka --text on GNU grep) option to ensure it will continue searching for matches when encountering binary data.
   • Example command (GNU grep): grep -Pahoi '\S*(foo|bar)\S*' FILENAME FILENAME...
2. If the output exceeds a few megabytes, please compress it, preferably using zstd -10.
3. Upload the file to https://transfer.archivete.am/.
4. Share the resulting URL in the project IRC channel.
   • If you would like to keep the list non-public instead, e.g. for privacy reasons or for not wanting to be publicly associated with it, please get in touch with a channel op (e.g. User:Arkiver or User:JustAnotherArchivist). Note that the items generated from your list would still be processed publicly, of course, but they would be mixed with everything else.
