टेम्पलेट:Wikisourcecat/doc

This template is part of Wikimedia sister projects.

The "Template:Wikisourcecat" links to a "Category:" name in the Wikisource repository (edited using a Wikimedia login name). If that category name is misspelled or missing, the link will still appear "blue" even though the link will fail. Check spelling of names carefully.

Usage

• {{Wikisourcecat|related Wikisource category (optional)|Wikipedia name (optional)}}

Both parameters are optional, and are intended for cases where the Wikisource category name is different from the Wikipedia page name. The first parameter is the name of the corresponding category on the Wikisource, without the Category: prefix. If this first parameter is used, then the template will display the Wikisource category name, which may be confusing to readers. This text can be replaced by the second parameter, where the Wikipedia page name would typically be used.

For example, on the Polar bear page,

{{Wikisourcecat|Ursus maritimus|Polar bears}}

produces a link to Wikisource:Category:Ursus maritimus displayed as Polar bears.

Location

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.
