This template temporarily displays a link to a non-English Wikipedia article, while the corresponding English-language Wikipedia article is lacking ("a red link"). The red link is explicitly shown, followed by the non-English link. Once the English article is created, the non-English link won't be shown.

Examples

When the English article doesn't exist:

  • Usage: {{link-interwiki|en=dependence on oil|lang=fr|lang_title=dépendance au pétrole}}
  • Result: [[{{{1}}}]] []

Once the English article is created, the link to the other language won't be shown:

  • Usage: {{link-interwiki|en=The Tale of Genji|lang=ja|lang_title=源氏物語}}
  • Result: [[{{{1}}}]] []

{{ill}} is a similar template, but you don't specify the parameter name:

You can modify the displayed text from the article name:

  • Usage: {{link-interwiki|en=dependence on oil|en_text=Oil dependence|lang=fr|lang_title=dépendance au pétrole}}
  • Result: [[{{{1}}}]] []

Parameters

The template accepts the following named parameters:

  • en (required) - name of article in English-language Wikipedia
  • en_text (optional) - text to display for English-language link, if different than the article name
  • lang (required) - interwiki language code, i.e. fr, nl, etc. (see List of Wikipedias)
  • lang_title (optional) - name of article in non-English Wikipedia
