This template is part of Wikipedia's sister projects. This template links an article to a page on Wikimedia Commons. Without any arguments, the template uses Wikidata to automatically link to an available gallery or category (if gallery is not available). With an argument, the template links to the named gallery.
To place this template on the page, type {{Commons|pagename}}, where pagename is the name of a page on Wikimedia Commons (defaults to "{{PAGENAME}}", the end-name of a page where used).
|position=
parameter accepts one keyword, left
, to float the box to the left instead of to the right.{{Commons category|catname}}
, where catname is the name of the category.Generally:
Specifically:
The pagename defaults to wiki-variable "{{PAGENAME}}", which is the end-name of the page where used. For a Template:Txxx, the {{PAGENAME}} would be the end-name "Txxx". For a Category:Catxxx, that page would have {{PAGENAME}} as the end-name "Catxxx".
The default positioning of the link-box is to the right-side.
