Template:wikipedia

---

The following documentation is located at Template:wikipedia/documentation. ^[edit]

Useful links: subpage list • links • redirects • transclusions • errors (parser/module) • sandbox (diff)

Uses Lua:

• Module:interproject

This template shows a right-floating sister-project box with a link to a Wikipedia page.

The template should be placed inside the section it refers to, immediately after the header. In the default case (a reference to the English Wikipedia) that is immediately following the ==English== header. If there are also images, box templates such as this should appear first. Alternatively, consider linking to Wikipedia in the "Further reading" section using the inline template {{pedia}}.

Parameters

All parameters are optional.

|lang= (optional)

|2= (optional)

Overrides the displayed form of the link.

|section= (optional)
