Fyrimynd:Interlanguage link/doc

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

The template accepts two, three, or four parameters:

1. (required) interwiki language code, i.e. fr, bg, no, nl, etc. (see List of Wikipedias)
2. (required) name of article in English-language Wikipedia
3. (optional) name of article in non-English Wikipedia, if different from above
4. (optional) text to display if the text given in the second parameter is not suitable; also available as named parameter |lt=

Usage

When 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

In 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
