Template documentation
 | This template uses Lua: |
The {{Sister bar}} template provides links corresponding pages on various Wikimedia sister projects, similar to {{Sister project links}}. Unlike that other template, {{Sister bar}} creates a horizontal bar for the sister projects links. This template is designed for use when there is not enough space in the External links section for a Sister project links box. It is designed to go after other navboxes and {{Portal bar}}.
The following pages are sought by the template, in order:
- An explicit page chosen by an editor (if provided)
- A sitelink in Wikidata (if exists)
- A search page on the sister project
Sending a reader to a search page can be an unpleasant experience, if there is no corresponding page for that subject. Editors have a choice between two methods to prevent this negative experience:
- Manually check each project for a relevant page, if missing, then set argument to "no" (e.g.,
|wikt=n) - Use "automatic mode", which only displays a sister project by default if sitelink exists (e.g.,
|auto=yes)
Parameters
{{Sister bar
<!-- Configuration parameters. Do not leave empty; populate, or remove -->
|1= |auto= |display=
<!-- Projects that default to "yes" when auto=no -->
|b= |c= |n= |q= |s= |v= |wikt=
<!-- Projects that default to "no" when auto=no -->
|d= |m= |mw= |species= |species_author= |voy= |iw= |f=
|author= <!-- force search for author name in wikisource -->
|commonscat= <!-- force link to commons category -->
|cookbook= <!-- force link to cookbook at wikibooks -->
}}
All parameters:
{{Sister project links |1= |author= |auto= |b= |c= |commonscat= |cookbook= |d= |display= |f= |iw= |m= |mw= |n= |q= |qid= |s= |species= |species_author= |v= |voy= |wikt= }}Default display
For any project parameter, there are four acceptable values:
- "yes" means find a reasonable link for the sister project (wikidata, or default back to search)
- "no" means exclude this sister project: no link
- a string means link to the page with whose name is that string
- blank or missing means use the default
- If
|auto=yes, default is either use wikidata (if present), or drop the link - If
|auto=no, if project is in the "yes" list above, either use wikidata or search. Otherwise drop the link.
- If
Tracking categories
- Category:Pages using Sister project links with unknown parameters (0)
- Category:Pages with single-entry sister bar (0)
Interwiki link
The |iw= parameter is for use in articles about languages themselves. It is designed to be used instead of the {{InterWiki}} template: it links to the Main Page of OODA WIKI that corresponds to the language code. See Template:InterWiki/doc for more information. Up to three sister OODA WIKIs can be linked, using |iw=, |iw1=, and |iw2=.
