Template documentation |
This template is used on 150,000+ pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes should first be tested in this template's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this template. As a courtesy to other users, please discuss any changes at the talk page before implementing them. |
This template is part of Wikipedia's sister projects. This template links an article to a page on Wikimedia Commons, containing a gallery of related images.
Usage
-
- {{Commons}} - puts link-box with current page's name.
- {{Commons|pagenam}} - puts link-box connecting title pagenam.
- {{Commons|pagenam|shownam}} - puts link-box showing the title shownam.
- {{Commons|pagenam|position=left}} - floats link-box to the left side.
To place this template on the page, type {{Commons|pagenam}}, where pagenam is the name of a page on Wikimedia Commons (defaults to "{{PAGENAME}}", the end-name of a page where used).
- The optional 2nd parameter gives the displayed link text.
- The |position= parameter accepts one keyword,
left, to float the box to the left instead of to the right. - To link to a Category, use {{Commons cat|catnam}}, where catnam is the name of the category.
Location
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.
On disambiguation pages, this template should be listed above other text, but below any cleanup templates, images, infoboxes or navboxes.
Defaults
The pagenam defaults to wiki-variable "{{PAGENAME}}", which is the end-name of the page where used. For a Template:Txxx, the {{PAGENAME}} would be the end-name "Txxx". For a Category:Catxxx, that page would have {{PAGENAME}} as the end-name "Catxxx".
The default positioning of the link-box is to the right-side.
