This template links to pages on non-English Wikipedias for pages that do not exist on the English Wikipedia. It displays a red link to the page, as normally occurs for nonexistent pages, followed by one or more links to the non-English article(s). Once the English Wikipedia article is created, the template will show a normal blue link without the non-English links.[a]
Parameters
[edit]The general format of this template is {{ill|Page name|language code 1|page name 1|language code 2|page name 2|...}}
The first parameter, Page name, is the article title as it should be on English Wikipedia; this will be a red link.
Remaining parameters are language code/page name pairs, where each pair defines the title of an existing page on a foreign language Wikipedia. One or more pairs may be included.[b] For example:
{{ill|Hooglede town hall|nl|Gemeentehuis van Hooglede}}→ Hooglede town hall – (one pair, links to Dutch page){{ill|Breton fairies|fr|Margot la fée|es|Hada Margot}}⟶ Breton fairies – (two pairs, links to French and Spanish pages)
If the page name on the non-English Wikipedia is the same as on the English Wikipedia, then those parameters can be left blank:
{{ill|Hanning Schröder|de}}→ Hanning Schröder – – (the German page has the same title){{ill|Tobias Hedström|fr| |it| |pl}}⟶ Tobias Hedström – (French, Italian, and Polish all have the same name as English){{ill|Karkinos|es|Carcinos|it|Carcino|pl| |pt}}⟶ Karkinos – (Polish and Portuguese have the same name as English; Spanish and Italian are different)[c]
More examples, if needed
[edit]Red linked in English
[edit]{{ill|Teka-her|fr|es}}→ Teka-her{{ill|Etruscan sculpture|es|Escultura etrusca|fr|Sculpture étrusque|it|Scultura etrusca}}→ Etruscan sculpture – (also ca, gl, pt){{ill|Siege of Delfzijl|de|Belagerung von Delfzijl (1813–1814)|fr|Siège de Delfzijl (1813-1814)|nl|Beleg van Delfzijl (1813-1814)}}– (also ru)
Blue in English (redirects)
[edit]These examples show the English link as blue, because a redirect exists:
{{ill|Gilchrist–Thomas process|fr|Procédé Thomas|de|Thomas-Verfahren|nl|Gilchrist-Thomas-converter|sv|Thomasprocessen}}→ Gilchrist–Thomas process{{ill|Prehistory of Malta|fr|Préhistoire de Malte|es|Prehistoria de Malta|nl|Prehistorisch Malta}}→ Prehistory of Malta – (also ca, cs, ru){{ill|Rococo painting|pt|Pintura do Rococó|ca|Pintura rococó|es|Pintura rococó}}→ Rococo painting
Some non-Latin scripts among the links
[edit]{{ill|The Student (painting)|fr|L'Étudiante (tableau)|ru|Курсистка}}→ The Student (painting)
Notes
[edit]- ^ This will link to some note sooner or later...
- ^ The vertical bar after the language code of the last language code/page name pair may be omitted, if the page name is also omitted because the foreign and English page names are identical. So for example,
{{ill|Hanning Schröder|de|}}with the final vertical bar and{{ill|Hanning Schröder|de}}without it are the same thing. The vertical bar must be present in all pairs except for the last one. - ^ Although no article on English Wikipedia exists for this title, the link is blue anyway because there's a redirect for it.
