Template:Interlanguage link/doc

This template links conditionally to pages on non-English Wikipedias. If the specified article on the English Wikipedia, this template  displays a red link to that anticipated but still-nonexistent article, followed by link(s) to the specified article(s) on the non-English Wikipedia(s), shown under the corresponding language code(s), in brackets. Hovering over a non-English link displays the name of the article on the non-English Wikipedia, as normal. Links to non-English Wikipedia articles are always blue; it is up to the editor to make sure they link to the intended article.

If the specified article (that is, after the anticipated article has been created) on the English Wikipedia, this template will only show the blue link to that article, and no longer to the non-English link(s).

This template should not be used in hatnotes, as red links should not be present in hatnotes.

Usage
There are several ways of using this template. It can produce links to one or more specific languages, Magnus Manske's Reasonator, or to the Wikidata table of languages.

The shortcut ill may be used.

A full list of language codes can be found at List of Wikipedias#Detailed list.

, if there is a redirect for the term in English Wikipedia, both the redirected (blue) link and interlanguage link(s) are displayed. This is why "casa" appears as a bluelink in the example below.

Link to one foreign language
To link to a foreign language article with the title as the English Wikipedia, the parameters are:


 * gives

To link to a foreign language article with a title, the parameters are:


 * gives

Link to multiple languages
To link to multiple languages with the same title as the English language page, the titles of the page are not necessary; the parameters are:


 * gives

To link to multiple language articles, the parameters are:


 * gives

Link to Reasonator and Wikidata
To link to the Wikidata table of languages in which the article is available, the parameters are:

All links to other Wikipedias are ignored if WD is present.
 * gives

To link to Reasonator, add any value for the parameter reasonator. If a Wikidata item is linked, then the Reasonator link goes to the page for that item; if not, then a search is performed on Reasonator for that item.

Displaying different text
To create a piped link (text displayed that is different from the title of the page to which the text links), use the lt parameter (which stands for "link text"). This is useful if disambiguation is necessary, for example to hide the (botanist) in Charles Darwin (botanist):
 * gives

Do not use to create piped links:  is not equivalent to. The former will not cause the foreign language links to disappear when the English article exists.

Forcing links
To display the interlanguage links even if the English Wikipedia article exists, add any of the values,  ,   or   for the parameter display.

Remove bold formatting from links
Usually the display of the Interlanguage or Wikidata or the Reasonator (the "appended link") are in normal font, but if the appended link is for example in a title line of table, then along with the rest of the line the appended link will be bold. In such circumstances the appended link can be set to display unbolded by adding any value for the parameter nobold.

Italics and quotation marks
If the linked material should have quotation marks around it (e.g., it is a major work such as a film title), use y (or yes, etc.) to generate italic markup around the link but not around the square-bracketed inter-language links. gives: Un papillon sur l'épaule

If the linked material should have quotation marks around it (e.g., it is a minor work such as a song title), use y (or yes, etc.) to generate them around the link, but not around the square-bracketed inter-language links, and not themselves part of the link. This only does double quotation marks: gives: Maman ne le sait pas

If both are used, quotation marks will appear around an italicized title, without italicizing the quotation marks.

Vertical alignment
The vertical alignment of the interlanguage/Wikidata/Reasonator links can be altered by adding:
 * to place the links in superscript
 * to place the links in subscript

Examples

 * gives, because TC Matic exists here
 * gives, because TC Matic (band) does not exist here
 * gives – although shown in blue the interwiki links won't work because they default to the title "TC Matic (band)" which is wrong
 * gives – the text "TC Matic" now redlinks to "TC Matic (band)"
 * gives – the text "TC Matic (band)" now links to "TC Matic" which exists
