Usage
[edit]This template uses Lua: |
This template gets the specified interlanguage link for the current article from Wikidata. If not found or a Wikidata item for the article does not exist, it will return an empty string. Use the |lang=
parameter to specify an ISO 639-1 language code, and optionally, the |project=
parameter if you want to get the link for a project other than Wikipedia. Note that the template will only return the page name, it does not automatically create a link.
See also Template:Interwiki extra for automatically adding links to other languages from a Wikidata item.
Examples
[edit]Note: On Template:Wikidata sitelink/doc, the result of these examples is empty, as the page is not connected to a Wikidata item. You can see nonempty results when the documentation is transcluded on Template:Wikidata sitelink.
