[edit] Sister projects

Sister projects or sibling projects are other wikis at the Wikimedia Foundation. One uses these templates to feature links to other such wikis.

Wikipedia has related information at Project:Template messages.

In most case, put the template at the bottom of the page. A good place to put it is in the "External links" section, above the other external links. These templates always make a box that floats to the right, like this one.

[edit] Generic project link

What to type	What it makes	Where it goes
{{generic project link| project=Meta-Wiki| image=wikimedia-logo.svg| text=[[MetaWikipedia:Main Page|Wikimedia Meta-Wiki]] has a category for:| link=[[MetaWikipedia:Category:Essays|Essays about Wikimedia projects]]}}	Wikimedia Meta-Wiki has a category for: Essays about Wikimedia projects	Bottom of page

This is a generic version of the other templates shown below. For example, if there is no template to link to categories at Meta-Wiki, one can use this. One can also use "subst:generic project link" to manufacture another template such as {{wikisource}} from this template.

The ancestry of this template is:

• Template:generic project link ← Wikicities:c:NetHack:generic project link ← Wikicities:c:Gameinfo:wikipedia ← ?

[edit] Links to main namespace

What to type	What it makes	Where it goes
{{wikipedia|XPilot}} Talk	Wikipedia has related information at XPilot.	Bottom of page
{{wikiquote|Anonymous}}	Wikiquote has related quotes by or about Anonymous	Bottom of page
{{wikisource|The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark}} Talk	Wikisource has original text related to: The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark	Bottom of page

[edit] Searches

If you call the templates from the previous section without a parameter, then they use the page with the same title as this one ("Template messages/Links"). The same page at another project is unlikely to exist, so the templates link to a search. (These templates ignore the namespace of the Wikibooks page.) (Wikibooks has a different naming policy than other projects.)

What to type	What it makes	Where it goes
{{wikipedia}}	Wikipedia has related information at Links.	Bottom of page
{{wikiquote}}	Wikiquote has related quotes by or about Template messages/Links	Bottom of page
{{wikisource}}	Wikisource has original text related to: Links	Bottom of page

[edit] Links to A:B (*par templates)

The subtle difference between {{wikipedia|Project:Sandbox}} and {{wikipediapar|Project|Sandbox}} is that the latter has a link to "Wikipedia Project" instead of "Wikipedia".

What to type	What it makes	Where it goes
{{wikipediapar|Project|Five pillars}} Talk	Wikipedia Project has more about this subject: Five pillars	Bottom of page

[edit] Category namespace

What to type	What it makes	Where it goes
{{wikipediacat|Desktop environments}} Talk	Wikipedia has a category on: Desktop environments	Bottom of page
{{wiktionarycat|English nouns}}	Wiktionary has a category on: English nouns	Bottom of page
{{sisterlinks|Category:Computing}}	Find more information on Category:Computing by searching Wikibooks' sister projects: Wiktionary definitions Wikipedia articles Wikiquote quotations Wikisource documents Images and media from Commons Wikinews stories Wikiversity lectures	Bottom of page

The last template, {{sisterlinks}}, links to a category at Commons. Not only can this category contain images and media, but in can also contain links to other Wikimedia projects in various languages, such as the French language Wiktionary and German language Wikipedia.

[edit] Other templates

These templates exist, but need to be checked. Some are broken.
