This page lists templates that are designed to provide article-to-article linking between Wikipedia and its Wikimedia sister projects. It also provides links to pages concerning moving articles between projects.
This guideline is a part of the English Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Use common sense in applying it; it will have occasional exceptions. Please ensure that any edits to this page reflect consensus. |
This template is a customized wrapper for {{[[Template:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}}. Any field from {{[[Template:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}} can work so long as it is added to this template first. Questions? Just ask here or over at [[Template talk:{{{1}}}]]. |

Wikipedia encourages links to sister projects and interlanguage links when possible. However, links to sister projects should not be inserted excessively.
Convention is to include each reference, link, or definition only once within an article, at the first appropriate point. Links to Wikimedia sister projects are best placed in the section of the article to which they relate, including Lead section, if possible; otherwise, they are usually placed in either "See also" section or External links section (though InterWikimedia links cannot be External links).
For example, a link to Wikiquote might be placed before any discussion of quotations, and a link to Wikinews before the description of the event, so that those articles are obviously sourced in the composition.
In some cases, such as disambiguation articles, they are best placed in the article's introduction (Lead section).
See below for a complete rundown.
If the name of the Wikimedia sister project (the article which you recommend to readers) is Wikisource:
