This template is used on 600,000+ pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template is part of Wikipedia's sister projects. This template links an article to a page on Wikimedia Commons, containing a gallery of related images.
Usage
[edit source]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 {{Commons category|catname}}, where catname is the name of the category.
Location
[edit source]Template:Cross Do not place this template in a section all by itself.
Template:Cross Do not place this template in a section containing columns.
This template should normally be placed at the top of the last section in the article, or consider using {{Commons-inline}} instead. See Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects for further recommendations about the best choice of template for various situations.
On disambiguation pages, this template should be listed above other text, but below any cleanup templates, images, infoboxes or navboxes.
Defaults
[edit source]The pagenam 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.
