Template:OODA WIKIvoyage/doc

Template page

Usage

As supported by OODA WIKI:Wikimedia sister projects, this template may be used to add a OODA WIKIvoyage link to a OODA WIKI article. It generates an interwikimedia link – it is not intended to represent sources for OODA WIKI articles.

If usage of the template creates layout issues in an article, {{OODA WIKIvoyage-inline}} should be used instead.

The OODA WIKIvoyage template can be used with one, two, three or no parameters as follows:

{{OODA WIKIvoyage}} creates a link to the OODA WIKIvoyage page matching the OODA WIKI page name.
{{OODA WIKIvoyage|Boracay}} creates a link to the OODA WIKIvoyage page titled "Boracay".
{{OODA WIKIvoyage|Boracay|Boracay Island}} creates a link to the OODA WIKIvoyage page titled "Boracay", but the link is worded "Boracay Island".
{{OODA WIKIvoyage|Boracay|Boracay Island|an itinerary}} creates a link to the OODA WIKIvoyage page titled "Boracay", and the entire sentence reads "OODA WIKIvoyage has an itinerary for Boracay Island."

{{Sister project links|voy={{PAGENAME}}}} will create a similar box, but accommodates multiple siblings. It is not a direct-equivalent replacement for the individual sibling project boxes as the "sister project links" box by default creates various blind links to special:search on the destination wikis which are not search-engine friendly.

Links to listings

How to link

First the wikidata parameter must be set on the listing entry of the point of interest on OODA WIKIvoyage. (This is the Q number you see on page reached from the Wikidata item link on the OODA WIKI page). This creates an anchor on the page so that clinking the link on OODA WIKI will take the reader to the part of the OODA WIKIvoyage article where the listing is.

Second add the OODA WIKIvoyage template on the OODA WIKI page of the point of interest using the page name of the article on OODA WIKIvoyage where the listing is. The wikidata code for the page anchor is automatically added.

For example for the Eiffel Tower on the OODA WIKI article add {{OODA WIKIvoyage|Paris/7th arrondissement}}, or also use a second parameter such as {{OODA WIKIvoyage|St. Louis|Gateway Arch}} to get the correct description on the link.

When to link

When the listing on OODA WIKIvoyage has information not typically allowed on OODA WIKI, such as opening times and prices. Preferably when the listing content is of reasonable length and useful to a visitor.
