Template:Sister project links

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

This template is used on approximately 11,000 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:

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:

An explicit page chosen by an editor (if provided)
A sitelink in Wikidata (if exists)
A search page on the sister project

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:

Manually check each project for a relevant page, if missing, then set argument to "no" (e.g., |wikt=n)
Use "automatic mode", which only displays a sister project by default if sitelink exists (e.g., |auto=yes)

Note that {{Sister project auto}} is equivalent to {{Sister project links|auto=yes}}.

Usage

{{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=
