doc
This template provides an alternative to Template:Tl for linking to source code.
This uses the GitHub mirror instead of Diffusion the Gitblit server at git.wikimedia.org (WMF is deprecating gitblit and git.wikimedia.org in 2015). Editors may find GitHub's interface more user-friendly, faster responding, visually appealing, or otherwise preferable. Compare:
