Template:Email/doc
The {{email}} template creates a link to an email address, showing either the e-mail address itself or replacement text (typically the name of the person to be emailed), followed by an icon to highlight that it is an external link.
{{Email|address}} produces the same result as [Mailto:<span class="example" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-added, #006400);" >address</span> <span class="example" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-added, #006400);" >address</span>]:
{{Email | John.Doe@gmail.com}}→ John.Doe@gmail.com[Mailto:John.Doe@gmail.com John.Doe@gmail.com]→ John.Doe@gmail.com
You may make a link that sends an email to multiple addresses by entering multiple addresses separated by semicolons, such as {{Email | John.Doe@gmail.com;Jane.Smith@science.doe.gov| John and Jane}}, which would result in John and Jane.
