Documentation icon Template documentation

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.

Usage

{{Sister project links |wikt= |commons= |b= |n= |q= |s= |v= |species= |display= }} <!-- input 'no' to exclude projects -->

Location

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.

File:X mark.svgN Do not place this template in a section all by itself.

File:X mark.svgN 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.

See Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects#Where_to_place_links for more information and alternatives.

Parameters

• If the search parameter differs from the page name, use: {{Sister project links|SearchParameter}}
• display= use if the display name is different from the search term: {{Sister project links|SearchParameter|display=DisplayName}}
  • For example, the Bear article would be coded as: {{Sister project links|display=Bears}}

• If the titles in the individual sister projects differ, use the following parameters, which are taken from Help:Interwiki linking:
  • wikt= Wiktionary
  • commons= Wikimedia Commons
  • b= Wikibooks
  • n= Wikinews
  • q= Wikiquote
  • s= Wikisource
  • v= Wikiversity
  • species= Wikispecies
    • For example: {{Sister project links |wikt=Foo1 |commons=Foo2 |b=Foo3 |n=Foo4 |q=Foo5 |s=Foo6 |v=Foo7 |species=Foo8 }}
• 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. (Links to Wikispecies are disabled by default and are only shown if the "species" parameter is used to specify the scientific name related to the article.)
• author= use for articles about authors: {{Sister project links|author=yes}} to force the sisterlinks to include the Author: prefix.
