Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The {{Sister project links}} template provides links to the Search page on the various Wikimedia sister projects. If a matching article exists, the reader will be directed there. Otherwise, normal search results are shown.

Please do not use this template to include links to projects where no corresponding page for that subject exists. Such links are not useful for readers, may be confusing, and detract from links to sister projects where pages do exist. If pages exists on only a small number of sister projects, either customize the display of this template to show only valid links, or use individual sister project templates instead.

Parameters[edit source]

{{Sister project links 
<!-- Configuration parameters. Do not leave empty; populate, or remove -->
 |1= |collapsible= |display= |position= |style=

<!-- Specify "no" to exclude the corresponding project: -->
 |wikt= |c= |commonscat= |n= |q= |s= |author= |b= |v=

<!-- Specify "yes" to include the corresponding project: -->
 |voy= |d= |m= |mw= |species= |species_author=
}}

Default display[edit source]

  • If you would like to exclude a link to a particular sister project, input no as the parameter for that sister project. For example, use:
{{Sister project links | q=no}}
to exclude the Wikiquote sister project. Only these parameters will display by default: wikt, commons, b, n, q, s and v. However, voy only displays by default if the entity type on Wikidata is "geographical feature".
  • Note: Links to MediaWiki, Meta-Wiki, Wikidata and Wikispecies are disabled by default. To show one or more of these sister projects, add the following:
{{Sister project links| m=Title | d=RelatedName | species=ScientificName |mw=DocumentationName}}
Alternatively, use species_author=PersonName for taxonomic authors on Wikispecies

Location[edit source]

If using a large, graphical template produces odd layout problems, like the excessive white space shown on the right of this screenshot, then switch to a different sister template.

☒N Do not place this template in a section all by itself.

☒N Do not place this template in a section containing columns.

This template should normally be placed at the top of the External links section at the end of an article, if the article has a section for external links. If no such section exists, then please place it at the top of the last section in the article.

On disambiguation pages, this template should be listed above other text, but below any cleanup templates, images, infoboxes or navboxes.
