Template:Sister project links/doc

The Sister project links template provides links corresponding pages on various Wikimedia sister projects. The following pages are sought, in order:
 * An explicit page chosen by an editor (if provided)
 * A sitelink in Wikidata (if exists)
 * A search page on the sister project

Sending a reader to a search page can be an unpleasant experience, if there is no corresponding page for that subject. Editors have a choice between two methods to prevent this negative experience:
 * Manually check each project for a relevant page, if missing, then set argument to "no" (e.g., n)
 * Use "automatic mode", which only displays a sister project by default if sitelink exists (e.g., yes)

Note that Sister project auto is equivalent to.

Parameters


All parameters:

Default display
For any project parameter, there are four acceptable values:
 * "yes" means find a reasonable link for the sister project (wikidata, or default back to search)
 * "no" means exclude this sister project: no link
 * a string means link to the page with whose name is that string
 * blank or missing means use the default
 * If yes, default is either use wikidata (if present), or drop the link
 * If no, if project is in the "yes" list above, either use wikidata or search. Otherwise drop the link.
