Template:Interwiki link
 | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
This template creates an interwiki link in which the link target is marked up with the appropriate language code (and for right-to-left languages), for use in discussion pages, documentation, etc.
Avoid using when the link target is not in the language of the target wiki; e.g. for de:A Christmas Carol or de:C’est la vie.
It is not for use in main article space and will throw an error message if it is used there.
It should also not be used for links to sister projects such as Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, etc.
