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

This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua:

Module:Commons link (sandbox)

Usage

Sometimes articles have both Commons articles (galleries) and categories about them. This template can be used to generate a right-aligned (default) message box link to a Commons gallery and a Commons category. It is intended for use in the "External links" section of an article.

Format

{{Commons and category|CommonsGalleryName|CommonsCategoryName}}

Please note that the Commons gallery (1st parameter) or the Commons category (2nd parameter) are both optional: if either is left blank, the template will search for them in Wikidata.

There are two optional parameters:

|position= -- can specify whether the box is shifted to the left of the article
|linktext= -- can override the text in the main link

Location

Generally:

N Do not place this template in a section all by itself without floating left.

N Do not place this template in a section containing columns without floating left.

N Do not indent this template with colon (:) or a bullet (*) markup.

Specifically:

In articles, this template should be placed at the top of the last section on the page so that it floats to the right of that section.
- See Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects#Where to place links for more information and alternatives.
In disambiguation pages, this template is usually placed at the top of the page.
In categories, this template should be grouped with other templates at the beginning of the category introduction. This avoids unnecessary white space as any text is floated around the template boxes.
