Template:Commons/doc

This template is part of Wikipedia's sister projects. This template links an article to a page on Wikimedia Commons. Without any arguments, the template uses Wikidata to automatically link to an available gallery or category (if gallery is not available). With an argument, the template links to the named gallery.

Usage

{{Commons}} —puts link-box with current page's name.
{{Commons|pagename}} —puts link-box connecting title pagename.
{{Commons|pagename|showname}} —puts link-box showing the title showname.
{{Commons|pagename|position=left}} —floats link-box to the left side.

To place this template on the page, type {{Commons|pagename}}, where pagename 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 the related template {{Commons category|catname}}, where catname is the name of the category.

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.

Generally:

X markN Do not place this template or any box-type template in a section all by itself.
X markN Do not place this template in a section containing columns without floating left.
X markN Do not indent this template with colon (:) or a bullet (*) markup.

Specifically:

  • In articles, this template should be placed at the top of the last section on the page so that it floats to the right of that section.
  • In disambiguation pages, this template is usually placed at the top of the page.
  • In categories, this template should be grouped with other templates at the beginning of the category introduction. This avoids unnecessary white space as any text is floated around the template boxes.

Defaults

The pagename 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.
