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.

Alternatively the named parameter lt (for link text) can be used:

Note:  Do not use the {{!}} template to create a piped link, since the interwiki links will not then disappear when the English article exists:
