Interwiki link to gl:Wikipédia

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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 template name is simply w: which creates a link to the English Wikipedia.
However the language can be specified in the third parameter instead of gl.

Usage

Template parameters

Parameter	Description	Default	Status
`1`	page name; also specific [sub]pages or name spaces as user, category, talk ...	main page of the wiki	optional
`2`	display text	parameter #1	optional
`3`	language code (ISO 639-1), and/or sisterproject prefix	`gl`	optional
`link`	can change the intended usage of the template to create a link: `link=no`, `link=n`, `link=-` or just `link=`: returns parameter 2 or 1 as plain text instead of the link may be useful when the thought page does not (yet) exist `link=none`: no transclusion - does nothing (the whole usage of the template is useless) any other value: is displayed as-it-is; may be a link ({{...}}, [[...]]) or not.	empty	optional

Template data

Parameter text is empty

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.

Discussion
There is an ongoing discussion about that matter. Feel invited to comment if you are experienced in either way, your time permits and if you like to share your opinion or to make a suggestion.

All these "W×" templates are shortcuts of the main template {{W}}, setting the language code with parameter 3: {{ W× | link }} is just {{ W | link | 3 = × }}

More W_× templates are elsewhere in use:

{{Ws}} for a linkbox to Wikispecies,
{{Wt}} for the link to Wiktionary,
{{Wa}} for Walloon language, {{Wo}} for Wolof language, and {{War}} and {{Wuu}}.

but there are no other language codes starting with "w", so plenty of "W×" templates may be created.

Localization

This template is not intended to be localized.

Recommendation

For linking to a sister project, an internal link such as {{W||en.wikipedia}}) is preferred over an external one (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia]).
