Documentation

This template creates a link from a CPDL page to a related article on Wikipedia. It is optimized for biography articles (composers, lyricists etc.) but can be used on other pages too.

Syntax

{{WikipediaLink|1=<article title on WP>|2=<text to be displayed on the link>|lang=<2-digit language code>}}

or, without numbered parameters:

{{WikipediaLink|<article title on WP>|<text to be displayed on the link>|lang=<2-digit language code>}}

Note that all parameters are optional:

  • |1= is necessary only when the Wikipedia article's title is different from the title on CPDL. If not informed, the CPDL's page title will be used instead.
  • |2= is used to customize the link text. If not informed, the CPDL's page title will be used instead.
  • |lang= is useful when there isn't an article on the English Wikipedia yet, but a Wikipedia article is available in another language. Besides linking to the Wikipedia article, it also offers a Google Translation of that article into English.

Examples

{{WikipediaLink}}

on Johann Sebastian Bach's page will produce:

View the Wikipedia article on Johann Sebastian Bach.


{{WikipediaLink|William Smith (composer)}}

on William Smith's page will produce:

View the Wikipedia article on William Smith.

Note that if the first parameter had not been informed, the link would point to William SmithLink to the English Wikipedia article, which is a Wikipedia disambiguation page.


{{WikipediaLink|Erlkönig (Goethe)|Der Erlkönig}}

on Drei Goethe-Lieder (Huub de Lange)'s page will produce:

View the Wikipedia article on Der Erlkönig.


{{WikipediaLink|Franz Xaver Engelhart|lang=de‎‎}}

on Franz Xaver Engelhart's page will produce:

View the German Wikipedia article on Franz Xaver Engelhart. (English translation by Google)

Categorization

The page is categorized according to the language of the Wikipedia article: English Wikipedia links, French Wikipedia links etc.
