This template is used on approximately 198,000 pages.

This is a meta-template used for creating interwiki links to other

sister projects of Wikipedia. Note that links to other language Wikipedias should not use links in this form, instead use Wikidata

to add them to the sidebar.

This is a companion template to {{sister project}} to be used where a floating side box causes layout problems on short articles.

Usage

This template should normally be placed at the top of the External links section at the end of an article, if the article has a section for

external links

. If no such section exists, then please place it at the top of the last section in the article. On

disambiguation pages

, this template should be listed above other text, but below any cleanup templates, images, infoboxes or navboxes.

|project= The sister project to link to. Used to select the displayed logo and the text.
|links= A single interwiki link to the article at the sister project. Displays with text such as "Media related to {{{links}}} at Wikimedia Commons"
|list= Alternatively, a list of multiple links to articles at sister projects. Displays with text such as "Related media at Wikimedia Commons: {{{list}}}"

Example:

{{sister-inline
|project=commons
|links=[[commons:Dog|Dogs]]
}}

Media related to Dogs at Wikimedia Commons

Adding |short=yes will omit the following explanatory text; this can be useful for adding short links to

navigational boxes

, for instance. This permits the link's text to differ from the link's address in namespace.

Example:

{{sister-inline
|project=v
|links=[[v:Category:Wikiversity quizzes placed on Wikipedia|Quizzes on Wikipedia articles can be found at Wikiversity]]
|short=yes
}}

Quizzes on Wikipedia articles can be found at Wikiversity
