This documentation is transcluded from Template:W/doc.

This template is used to help create interwiki links without displaying the prefix, and without the need for repetition if the page name is to display; in this case understroke characters in the page name are replaced by space characters.

  • The default prefix is simply w: which creates a link to the English Wikipedia. However the language can be specified in the third parameter.

Usage

{{W |1= |2= |3= }}

Template parameters

Parameter Description Default Status
1 page name; also specific [sub]pages (e.g: user, category, talk, ...) main page of the wiki required
2 display text parameter #1 optional
3 language code (ISO 639-1), or sisterproject prefix en optional
link returns plain text instead of a link when set to link=no empty optional

Additional information

The template is intended to be used in the following namespaces: all namespaces

The template is intended to be used by the following user groups: all users

See also

{{Ud}} and other Interwiki link templates;
{{Wd}} links to de:Wikipedia
{{We}} links to es:Wikipedia
{{Wf}} links to fr:Wikipédia
{{Wh}} links to hu:Wikipédiá
{{Wi}} links to it:Wikipedia
{{Wm}} links to mk:Wikipedia
{{Wn}} links to nl:Wikipedia
{{Wu}} links to uk:Wikipedia

the faster one can reserve "W" with a one-letter-code; e.g. "Wp" may link to pt or pl.
Two templates W× are elsewhere in use: {{Wa}} for Walloon language and {{Wo}} for Wolof language,
but there are no other language codes starting with "w", plenty of "W×" templates may be created.

Localization

This template is not intended to be localized.

Recommendation

Instead of an external link to sister projects e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia] use better an internal one like {{W||en.wikipedia}}.
