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.
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)
{{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=
<!-- 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):
For any project parameter, there are four acceptable values:
"yes" means find a reasonable link for the sister project (wikidata, or default back to search)
"no" means exclude this sister project: no link
a string means link to the page with whose title is that string
blank or missing means use the default
If |auto=yes, default is either use wikidata (if present), or drop the link
If |auto=no, if project is in the "yes" list above, either use wikidata or search. Otherwise drop the link.
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.
Generally:
NDo not place this template in a section all by itself.
NDo not place this template in a section containing columns.
Specifically:
In articles, this template should normally be placed at the top of the External links section, if it exists. Otherwise, place this template at the top of the last section in the article.
Displays a terminal window with a set of commands. If the titles in the individual sister projects differ, use the following parameters, which are taken from [[Help:Interwiki linking]]. The value "Yes" means that the page will be found automatically.
