Template:Wp/doc: Difference between revisions

==Parameters==

There are three parameters – one named and two unnamed. The first unnamed parameter is required. If no parameters at all are entered, the template will output a link to English Wikipedia's main page, with the template's first parameter as its name (<code>{{{1}}}</code>).

The syntax for the template is:

{{tlc|wp&#32;|''article name''&#32;|''alternative link text''&#32;|lang&#61;''language code''}}

===Article name===

This is the parameter for entering the name of the article on Wikipedia, you wish to link to. No parameter name needs to be entered.

* The article name has to be written exactly as it is on the Wikipedia page; i.e. with diacritics and not translated (e.g. for the Swedish Wikipedia article on the Swedish judicial system's courts of appeal, "{{wp|Hovrätt|lang=sv}}", you have to write <tt>Hovrätt</tt>, and not <tt>Hovratt</tt>, <tt>Hovraett</tt>, or <tt>Court of appeal</tt>). If you want the link to show something other than the article's name, use the ''alternative link text'' parameter.

* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>wp|'''''article name'''''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

===Alternative link text===

With this parameter, you can define an alternative text string to be shown instead of the Wikipedia article's name. No parameter name needs to be entered.

* The alternative link text must be placed '''after''' (to the right of) the ''article name'' parameter!

* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>wp|''article name''|'''''alternative link text'''''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

===Wikipedia language===

The link produced by {{tl|wp}} leads by default to English Wikipedia (<tt>en.wikipedia.org</tt>). If you want to link to a different language version of Wikipedia, e.g. Swedish Wikipedia (<tt>sv.wikipedia.org</tt>), you can use this parameter and enter the language code for the Wikipedia you wish to link to. Here's a {{wp|List of Wikipedias|list of Wikipedia language versions}}, complete with current language codes.

* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>wp|''article name''|''alternative link text''|'''lang&#61;'''language code<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

==Examples==

===Correct use===

| Article name || <code><nowiki>{{wp|Mozilla Foundation}}</nowiki></code> || {{wp|Mozilla Foundation}}

| Alternative link text || <code><nowiki>{{wp|Mozilla Foundation|Mozilla on Wikipedia}}</nowiki></code> || {{wp|Mozilla Foundation|Mozilla on Wikipedia}}

| rowspan="3" | Language: English || <code><nowiki>{{wp|Mozilla Foundation}}</nowiki></code> || {{wp|Mozilla Foundation}}

| <code><nowiki>{{wp|Mozilla Foundation|lang=}}</nowiki></code> || {{wp|Mozilla Foundation|lang=}}

| <code><nowiki>{{wp|Mozilla Foundation|lang=en}}</nowiki></code> || {{wp|Mozilla Foundation|lang=en}}

| Language: Swedish || <code><nowiki>{{wp|Mozilla Foundation|lang=sv}}</nowiki></code> || {{wp|Mozilla Foundation|lang=sv}}

| rowspan="3" | Placement of param "<code>lang</code>" is irrelevant || <code><nowiki>{{wp|lang=sv|Mozilla Foundation|Mozilla on Swedish Wikipedia}}</nowiki></code> || {{wp|lang=sv|Mozilla Foundation|Mozilla on Swedish Wikipedia}}

| <code><nowiki>{{wp|Mozilla Foundation|lang=sv|Mozilla on Swedish Wikipedia}}</nowiki></code> || {{wp|Mozilla Foundation|lang=sv|Mozilla on Swedish Wikipedia}}

| <code><nowiki>{{wp|Mozilla Foundation|Mozilla on Swedish Wikipedia|lang=sv}}</nowiki></code> || {{wp|Mozilla Foundation|Mozilla on Swedish Wikipedia|lang=sv}}

===Incorrect use===

! Example case !! What you write !! What you see (error)

| Malplacement of params <code>1</code> and <code>2</code> || <code><nowiki>{{wp|Custom link name|Article name}}</nowiki></code> || {{wp|Custom link name|Article name}}
