Template talk:Mimetype

iana.org links
It's been noted that iana.org URLs do not always correspond to the MIME type. Refer to the list at. The "template" column is usually the MIME type, but sometimes it is something else (e.g. image/vnd-djvu, text/vnd-curl). In those cases, the URL with the actual MIME type might return the same document (e.g. vs. ), or a subtly different document (e.g.  vs. ), or a placeholder document (e,g,  vs. ), or it might not work at all (e.g.  vs. ).

Should we do something about this? We could add a parameter to the template to allow the editor to manually supply the correct link when necessary. Or maybe we could find a better resource to link to. Jsummers (talk) 21:13, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
