Template:Interwiki extra/doc

Purpose

Get extra interwiki links from a specified Wikidata object, to complement existing links for the including article.

Note: The page is normally also itself linked directly from Wikidata. Only languages that do not already have a link will display the extra link.

Example

The article Fibonacci sequence is in Wikidata connected to (Q23835349). The redirect Fibonacci number goes to the same article, and (Q47577) connects there. However, that means that the interlanguage links only appear on the redirect page itselfFibonacci number so they cannot be used for navigation by a reader. Other languages have chosen the other way around, such as simple:Fibonacci number. From Wikidata perspective they are different concepts though, and should not be merged.

The main article for each language can get extra links from the secondary concept by including the template with the other qid. E.g.

{{Interwiki extra|qid=Q47577}}

This automatically adds sitelinks to the article, from d:Q47577 when needed. Each Wikipedia variant can choose which qid to include without any interwiki conflict, but more conveniently than maintaining specific language links.

Usage

{{Interwiki extra|qid=Q<Wikidata item number>}}

Parameters

• qid Optional - The <Wikidata item Q-number>
  • If the parameter is omitted, the template reads the (P460) property of the connected Wikidata item, if it exists and adds the interlanguage links of the item it finds there

Associated category

• Tracking category for pages with additional interwiki links
