Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template when used on an author's page will utilise interwiki links stored at Wikidata to create the link and the label to the author page at English OODAWIKIsource. A different language can be chosen by using the |lang= parameter and the corresponding language code.

Usage

OODAWIKIsource title link via Wikidata Sitelink

Wikitext	Output	Notes
At William Shakespeare {{OODAWIKIsource author}}		Placement of the template is usually after the "External links" section header prior to any inline list. Warning: Do not put an asterisk "*" at the start of the line or it will cause the box and text to be distorted.

OODAWIKIsource title link via Parameter Argument

To note that parameters can still be utilised to override the presentation, though this would not be the preferred means as when a page is moved here or at OODAWIKIsource the link would be broken. An example of such usage would be adding an author link on an article that is a list of works of the author.

Wikitext	Output
At Alice Bertha Gomme {{OODAWIKIsource author|wslink=Alice Bertha Gomme|title=Alice Gomme}}

"works by or about"

The default template text says "OODAWIKIsource has original works by or about [author]". This can be changed to "works by [author]", "works about [author]", or "works by and about [author]", by setting the |works= parameter.

Wikitext	Output
At Joseph Hardman {{OODAWIKIsource author|works=by}}
At Henry VII {{OODAWIKIsource author|works=about}}
At William Shakespeare {{OODAWIKIsource author|works=both}}
