The {{Sister project links}} template provides one box with links to corresponding pages on various Wikimedia sister projects. The following pages are sought, in order:
Sending a reader to a search page can be an unpleasant experience, if there is no corresponding page for that subject. Editors have a choice between two methods to prevent this negative experience:
|wikt=n
)|auto=yes
)Note that {{Sister project auto}} is equivalent to {{Sister project links|auto=yes}}
.
{{Sister project links
<!-- Configuration parameters. -->
|1= |display= |auto= |collapsible= |position= |style=
<!-- Note: The order of the projects is as they appear in the navbox. -->
<!-- First part: Projects that default to "yes" when auto=no -->
|wikt= |c= |n= |q= |s= |b= |v=
<!-- Second part: Projects that default to "no" when auto=no -->
|voy= |species= |species_author= |iw= |d= |m= |mw= |f=
<!-- The following parameters specifying search options for pages above. -->
|commonscat= <!-- (relevant for c) force link to commons category -->
|author= <!-- (relevant for s) force search for author name in wikisource -->
|cookbook= <!-- (relevant for b) force link to cookbook at wikibooks -->
}}
Example with all parameters and all projects displayed (see right):
{{Sister project links
|1= |display= |auto= |collapsible= |position= |style=
|wikt= |c= |n= |q= |s= |b= |v=
|voy=yes |species=yes |species_author=John |iw=en |d=yes |m=yes |mw=yes |f=yes
|commonscat= |author= |cookbook=
}}
For any project parameter, there are four acceptable values:
|auto=yes
, default is either use Wikidata (if present), or drop the link|auto=no
, if project is in the "yes" list above, either use Wikidata or search. Otherwise drop the link.Generally:
Specifically:
The |iw=
parameter is for use in articles about languages themselves. It is designed to be used instead of the {{InterWiki}} template: it links to the Main Page of Wikipedia that corresponds to the language code. See Template:InterWiki/doc for more information. Up to three sister Wikipedias can be linked, using |iw=
, |iw1=
, and |iw2=
.
