Wikiquote:Sister projects

Wikimedia Foundation operates several other multilingual and free-content projects:

	Meta-Wiki Wikimedia project coordination		Wikipedia Free Encyclopedia		Wikibooks Free textbooks and manuals		Wikiquote Collection of quotations
	Wikisource Free source documents		Wikispecies Directory of species		Wikinews Free content news source		Commons Shared media repository

These templates are designed to provide article-to-article linking between Meta-Wiki and its Wikimedia sister projects.

This page is about coordination in the names and parameter uses in all of this kind of Wikimedia templates.

General considerations

Par is used generally in the template name to point to a concrete page name in a sister project (i.e.wikiquotepar).

Wiktionary

Pages needing to be moved:

• Template:Move to Wiktionary

Links to pages on the Wiktionary site:

  • Template:Wiktionarypar (uses parameter as in {{Wiktionarypar|SomePage}})
• To define a word in-line with other text, create an interwiki link in the format: [[wiktionary:SomeWord|definition of SomeWord]].
