The {{Sister project links}} template provides one box with links to corresponding pages on various Wikimedia sister projects. The box looks for a page on the subject by checking for the following (in order of preference):

A page specified by an editor
A sitelink in Wikidata
A page that matches the topic name (by searching the sister project)

If none of these three methods returns a page, then the link sends the reader to the search results page, which lists pages that contain matches (exact or partial) for the search string.

Leading a reader to a search results page may confuse or disappoint them. So, before you enable a link to a sister project, it's best to verify that it has a page on the topic. You can do this in one of two ways:

Manually check each project for a relevant page. If none exists, set the argument to "no":

|wikt=no or |wikt=n

Use "automatic mode", which only displays a sister project by default if a sitelink exists:

|auto=yes or |auto=y

To enable automatic mode for all links, set {{Sister project links|auto=yes}}, or use the template {{Sister project auto}}.

Usage

{{Sister project links
<!-- Configuration parameters. -->
 |1= |display= |auto= |collapsible= |position= |style=

<!-- Note: The order of the projects is as they appear in the navbox. -->
<!-- First part: Projects that default to "yes" when auto=no -->
 |wikt= |c= |n= |q= |s= |b= |v=

<!-- Second part: Projects that default to "no" when auto=no -->
 |voy= |species= |species_author= |iw= |d= |m= |mw= |f=

<!-- The following parameters specifying search options for pages above. -->
 |commonscat= <!-- (relevant for c) force link to commons category -->
 |author= <!-- (relevant for s) force search for author name in wikisource -->
 |cookbook= <!-- (relevant for b) force link to cookbook at wikibooks -->
}}

Example with all parameters and all projects displayed (see right):

{{Sister project links
 |1= |display= |auto= |collapsible= |position= |style=
 |wikt= |c= |n= |q= |s= |b= |v=
 |voy=yes |species=yes |species_author=John |iw=en |d=yes |m=yes |mw=yes |f=yes
 |commonscat= |author= |cookbook=
}}

Default display

For any project parameter, there are four acceptable values:

"yes" means find a reasonable link for the sister project (Wikidata, or default back to search)
"no" means exclude this sister project: no link
a string means link to the page with whose title is that string
blank or missing means use the default
- If |auto=yes, default is either use Wikidata (if present), or drop the link
- If |auto=no, if project is in the "yes" list above, either use Wikidata or search. Otherwise drop the link.

Location

Generally:

Do not place this template or any box-type template in a section all by itself.

Do not place this template in a section containing columns without floating left.

Do not indent this template with colon (:) or a bullet (*) markup.

Specifically:

In articles, this template should be placed at the top of the last section on the page so that it floats to the right of that section.
- See Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects#Where to place links for more information and alternatives.
In disambiguation pages, this template is usually placed at the top of the page.
In categories, this template should be grouped with other templates at the beginning of the category introduction. This avoids unnecessary white space as any text is floated around the template boxes.

Interwiki link

The |iw= parameter is for use in articles about languages themselves. It is designed to be used instead of the {{InterWiki}} template: it links to the Main Page of Wikipedia that corresponds to the language code. See Template:InterWiki/doc for more information. Up to three sister Wikipedias can be linked, using |iw=, |iw1=, and |iw2=.

TemplateData for Sister project links

Displays a terminal window with a set of commands. If the titles in the individual sister projects differ, use the following parameters, which are taken from [[Help:Interwiki linking]]. The value "Yes" means that the page will be found automatically.
