Location

File:Sister link template columns problem.jpg
If using a large, graphical template produces odd layout problems, like the excessive white space shown on the right of this screenshot, then switch to a different sister template.

☒N Do not place this template in a section all by itself.

☒N Do not place this template in a section containing columns without floating left.

This template should normally be placed at the top of the ==External links== section at the end of an article, if the article has a section for external links. If no such section exists, then please place it at the top of the last section in the article, or use {{Wikispecies-inline}}. See OODA WIKI:Wikimedia sister projects for further recommendations about the best choice of template for various situations.

On disambiguation pages, this template should be listed above other text, but below any cleanup templates, images, infoboxes or navboxes.
