  • If you would like to exclude a link to a particular sister project, input no as the parameter for that sister project. For example, use:
{{Sister project links | q=no}}
to exclude the Wikiquote sister project. Only these parameters will display by default: wikt, commons, b, n, q, s and v. However, voy only displays by default if the entity type on Wikidata is "geographical feature".
  • Note: Links to MediaWiki, Meta-Wiki, Wikidata and Wikispecies are disabled by default. To show one or more of these sister projects, add the following:
{{Sister project links| m=Title | d=RelatedName | species=ScientificName |mw=DocumentationName}}
Alternatively, use species_author=PersonName for taxonomic authors on Wikispecies
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.
