Fyrimynd:Interlanguage link
[[{{{1}}}]]
This template temporarily displays a link to a non-English Wikipedia article, while the corresponding English-language Wikipedia article is lacking ("a red link"). The red link is explicitly shown, followed by the non-English link. Hovering over the non-English link will display the name of the article on the non-English Wikipedia. Once the English article is created, the non-English link will not be shown.
Parameters
rættaThe template accepts two, three, or four parameters:
- (required) interwiki language code, i.e. fr, bg, no, nl, etc. (see List of Wikipedias)
- (required) name of article in English-language Wikipedia
- (optional) name of article in non-English Wikipedia, if different from above
- (optional) text to display if the text given in the second parameter is not suitable; also available as named parameter
|lt=
Usage
rættaWhen article names would be the same in English and foreign language Wikipedia:
- Usage:
{{Interlanguage link|no|Sigmund Jakobsen}}
- Result: no
When article names are different in English and foreign language Wikipedia:
- Usage:
{{Interlanguage link|nl|Hooglede town hall|Gemeentehuis van Hooglede}}
- Result: nl
Once the English article is created, the other language link won't be shown:
- Example:
{{Interlanguage link|ja|The Tale of Genji|源氏物語}}
- Result: ja
Piped links
rættaIn some cases the English Wikipedia might use a piped link:
- Example:
[[Arno Schmidt (chef)|Arno Schmidt]]
- Result: Arno Schmidt
The template can create the same link shown above by using a fourth parameter:
- Usage:
{{Interlanguage link|de|Arno Schmidt (historian)|Arno Schmidt (Historiker)|Arno Schmidt}}
- Result: de
Alternatively the named parameter lt
(for link text) can be used:
- Usage:
{{Interlanguage link|de|Arno Schmidt (historian)|lt=Arno Schmidt|Arno Schmidt (Historiker)}}
- Result: Arno Schmidt
Note: Do not use the {{!}} template to create a piped link, since the interwiki links will not then disappear when the English article exists:
{{Interlanguage link|de|Erich Schmidt (historian){{!}}Erich Schmidt|Erich Schmidt (Literaturwissenschaftler)}}
is not equivalent to{{Interlanguage link|de|Erich Schmidt (historian)|Erich Schmidt (Literaturwissenschaftler)|Erich Schmidt}}
.- Result: de
