User:Fabrickator/Cornelia Wilhelm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an example of a "language selection" page proposed as an alternative to the use of the {{Interlanguage link}} template for articles which do not exist in English-language Wikipedia but exist in one or more other language Wikipedias.

This provides some specific advantages:

  • On the page where the link appears, it displays as an ordinary link, so there is no distraction from a link which displays differently from ordinary links.
  • Because it behaves as an ordinary link, it can be used in contexts where a template doesn't work, such as in the "author-link" parameter in a CS1/CS2 citation.
  • There's none of the overhead that may be associated with an {{interlanguage link}} template, but the tradeoff is that there's no provision for a dynamically-generated list of links.

This resembles both a "redirect" page and a "disambiguation" page, but it is distinct in that, to some degree or other, links to redirect and disambiguation pages are disparaged.


This article is not available in the English wikipedia, but it is available in the following language(s):

An English-language article for "Cornelia Wilhelm" may someday replace this "language selection" page.
