ਫਰਮਾ:Interlanguage link/doc

For guidance, see Help:Interlanguage links#Inline links.

This template links conditionally to pages on non-English Wikipedias. If the specified article does not exist on the English Wikipedia, this template intentionally 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 exists (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).

Because {{ill}} normally produces a working link along with a redlink, it is appropriate for use in hatnotes, in spite of the general advice to avoid redlinks in hatnotes.

Please be aware Cewbot removes this template when it detects the target article has been created on English Wikipedia, converting {{ill}} links to regular (blue) links.

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.

ਫਰਵਰੀ 2016 ਤੱਕ , 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.

Where there are multiple interlanguage links readers may be confused about their purpose. The template {{interlanguage link info}} may be placed at the head of a page or section.

Link to one foreign language

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

{{ill|Article title|language code}}

• {{ill|Hanning Schröder|de}} produces: Hanning Schröder (the English article exists),

whereas

• {{ill|Richard J. Youle|de}} produces: Richard J. Youle (as of June 2022, no English article exists)

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

{{ill|English article title|language code|Title in foreign language}}

• {{ill|Hooglede town hall|nl|Gemeentehuis van Hooglede}} produces: Hooglede town hall

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:

{{ill|English article title|language 1 code|language 2 code|...}}

• {{ill|casa|es||it||ro||de|haus}} produces: casa

Note: As of February 2016, casa above is a redirect. Redirects appear as blue links even while foreign-language links are still shown.

To link to multiple language articles, the parameters are:

{{ill|English article title|language 1 code|Title in language 1|language 2 code|Title in language 2|...}}

• {{ill|Olena Chaplynska|uk|Олена Чаплинська|ru|Чаплинская, Гелена|ja|モトローナ・チャプリーンシカ}} produces: Olena Chaplynska

Modifying the display

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):

• {{ill|Charles Darwin (botanist)|lt=Charles Darwin|fr|Charles Darwin|de|Charles Darwin|es|Charles Darwin}} produces: Charles Darwin

Do not use {{!}} to create piped links: {{ill|Maze (band){{!}}Mazy|...}} is not equivalent to {{ill|Maze (band)|lt=Mazy|...}}. 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 1, y, yes or force for the parameter |display= or its alias, |preserve=.

Input	Output
{{ill|Joke|fr|Blague|hu|Vicc|de|Witz}}	Joke
{{ill|Joke|fr|Blague|hu|Vicc|de|Witz|display=1}}	Joke

This feature should not be used in articles under most circumstances. However, in pages that are primarily lists of pages that link to the same language, it might be desirable all links on a page should link to other languages whether or not an English page exists. This feature can also be used as a work-around to eliminate expensive parser function calls.

Note: As of February 2016, redirects appear as blue links even while foreign-language links are still shown (i.e. you do not need to force-show them).

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=.

Input	Output
'''{{ill|Charles Darwin (botanist)|fr|Charles Darwin|de|Charles Darwin}}'''	Charles Darwin (botanist)
'''{{ill|nobold=1|Charles Darwin (botanist)|fr|Charles Darwin|de|Charles Darwin}}'''	Charles Darwin (botanist)

Italics and quotation marks

If the linked material should be in italics (e.g., it is a major work such as a film title), use |italic=y (or |italic=yes, etc.) to generate italic markup around the link but not around the square-bracketed inter-language links.{{ill|Un papillon sur l'épaule|fr|italic=y}} produces: 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 |quote=y (or |quote=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: {{ill|Maman ne le sait pas|fr|quote=y}} produces: "Maman ne le sait pas"

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

Punctuation before language links

If punctuation such as a comma or period/full stop follows the expression, you may wish to display the punctuation before the interlanguage link(s), especially if combining it with superscript display. So, rather than have:

...the French concept of freedom of instruction.

which awkwardly displays the sentence-final punctuation after the French link, you can display it before:

...the French concept of freedom of instruction.

The second example above is achieved simply by borrowing the |lt= parameter, and including the punctuation in it, like this:

{{ill|freedom of instruction|fr|Liberté d'enseignement|lt=freedom of instruction.|v=sup}}

Vertical alignment

The vertical alignment of the interlanguage/Wikidata/Reasonator links can be altered by adding:

• vertical-align=sup to place the links in superscript
• vertical-align=sub to place the links in subscript

The parameter aliases |valign= or |v= may be used instead.

Input	Output
{{ill|Charles Darwin (botanist)|fr|Charles Darwin|de|Charles Darwin|vertical-align=sup}}	Charles Darwin (botanist)
{{ill|Charles Darwin (botanist)|fr|Charles Darwin|de|Charles Darwin|valign=sub}}	Charles Darwin (botanist)
{{ill|Charles Darwin (botanist)|fr|Charles Darwin|de|Charles Darwin|v=sup}}	Charles Darwin (botanist)

Infobox font size

When this template is placed within elements that already use a smaller font size, such as infoboxes, the interlanguage link drops below 85% of the page's default font size. To prevent this and adhere to the value ib can be used with the vertical alignment parameter: vertical-align=ib (or v=ib, etc.)

Input	Output
{{ill|Charles Darwin (botanist)|fr|Charles Darwin|de|Charles Darwin|v=ib}}	Charles Darwin (botanist)

This feature should only be used when the template is placed within infoboxes or other elements that use a smaller font size.

Link to Reasonator and Wikidata

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

{{ill|Article title in English Wikipedia|WD=Wikidata item code}}

• {{ill|Jokery|WD=Q131138}} produces: Jokery

All links to other Wikipedias are ignored if |WD= is present.

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.

Input	Output
{{ill|Jokery|WD=Q131138|reasonator=1}}	Jokery
{{ill|Jokery|reasonator=1}}	Jokery

To display Wikidata link as "d", add any value for the parameter |short= or its alias, |s=:

• {{ill|Jokery|wd=Q131138|s=1|v=sup}} produces: Jokery

Automatic removal

If you create an {{interlanguage link}} and an English Wikipedia article is later created, this template will appear as a regular (blue) link as explained above. The underlying template, however, will eventually be edited automatically (it is one of the tasks assigned to bot Cewbot), removing the template and resulting in a regular (blue) link. While this is intended to save on the computational load, it does mean users will not again be directed to the foreign-language article if the article is later deleted as this information is lost. The link will become a red link. Use |preserve= or |display= to prevent automatic removal.

Examples

• {{ill|TC Matic|af|TC Matic|nl|TC Matic|fr|TC Matic|es|TC Matic}} produces: TC Matic, because TC Matic exists here
• {{ill|TC Matic (band)|af|TC Matic|nl|TC Matic|fr|TC Matic|es|TC Matic}} produces: TC Matic (band), because TC Matic (band) does not exist here
• {{ill|TC Matic (band)|af||nl||fr||es|}} produces: TC Matic (band) – although shown in blue the interwiki links won't work because they default to the title "TC Matic (band)" which is wrong
• {{ill|TC Matic (band)|lt=TC Matic|af|TC Matic|nl|TC Matic|fr|TC Matic|es|TC Matic}} produces: TC Matic – the text "TC Matic" now redlinks to "TC Matic (band)"
• {{ill|TC Matic|lt=TC Matic (band)|af|TC Matic|nl|TC Matic|fr|TC Matic|es|TC Matic}} produces: TC Matic (band) – the text "TC Matic (band)" now links to "TC Matic" which exists
