This template is used to link to articles containing further information on a topic, where English Wikipedia does not yet have an article, but another language Wikipedia does. It looks like this:
It is typically used at the top of a section, when the topic of that section is covered in more detail by a page on another Wikipedia. It combines the features of {{Further}} and {{Interlanguage link}}, and provides one of the chief advantages of red links by pointing out a topic where English Wikipedia doesn't yet have an article, while pointing out where such information is readily available.
Once the article on English Wikipedia is created, the interwiki links are dropped, and the template renders like a regular "Further" link. If the main link is blue because the English page name is a redirect and not an article, the interwiki links are retained, and the blue link is tagged as a redirect.
Basic usage – one interwiki link
{{Further interlanguage link|Ocean swell fairies|fr|Fée des houles}} → {{Further interlanguage link|Geiseltal fossil bed|de|Fossillagerstätte Geiseltal|fr|Gisement de fossiles du Geiseltal|es|Yacimiento de Geiseltal}} →
{{ill|Further interlanguage link|Margarita Cueto|ca||es||pt}} →
This template accepts the following parameters:
1 – the page on English Wikipedia. This must be a red link, or a redirect with possibilities. (If it isn't, use {{Further}} instead.) Required.2 and 3 - the language code and page to link to on a sister Wikipedia. Required. Links to sections are automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section.4 and 5 - another lang-code and page to link to on a foreign wikipedia. Optional. If 5 is missing, {{Interlanguage link}} supplies the same value as the English topic in param 1.6 and 7 - a third code + page pair, to link a foreign Wikipedia article. Optional. If 7 is missing, it takes the value from param 1.lt – as for {{Interlanguage link}}, the |lt= parameter (which stands for "link text") is used to create a piped link. Alias: |label=.topic - like {{Further}}, adds "...on Topic" to the output text.
To create a piped link (text displayed that is different from the title of the page to which the text links), use the |lt= parameter (which stands for "link text").
The default vertical alignment of the bracketed interlanguage links is superscript. This can be altered by adding:
vertical-align=sub to place the links in subscriptvertical-align=base to place the links on the baseline. Alias: vertical-align=none{{Further interlanguage link|Tropical Storm Zia|ja|平成11年台風第16号|zh|热带风暴思雅}}}} →
{{Further interlanguage link|Luigi Madonis|ca|de|fi|it|kk|Луиджи Мадонис|ru|Мадонис, Луиджи}} →
{{Further interlanguage link|topic=storms in Japan|Tropical Storm Zia|ja|平成11年台風第16号}} → {{Further interlanguage link|topic=Some Topic|ArticleName|es|Página1#Sección uno|de|Seite2|ru|страница3|lt=Anchor-link}} →
{{Further interlanguage link|Luigi Madonis|de|it|ru|Мадонис, Луиджи|vertical-align=baseline}} → {{Further interlanguage link|The Hague|nl|Den Haag|fr|La Haie|es|La Haya}} → If a required param is missing, the template will output a message. For example:
{{Further interlanguage link|Luigi Madonis}} → Error: no interlanguage code specified. (help).Pages that contain this error message are tracked in Category:Pages with errors in Template:Further ill.
If you only wish to link to an article on a foreign language Wikipedia, without indicating a missing article on English Wikipedia, use {{Further}} instead, prefixing the page name in a foreign Wikipedia with the required interlanguage code:
{{Further|fr:Face nord de l'Eiger|ca:Cara nord de l'Eiger|de:Eiger-Nordwand}} →
{{Further|de:Eero Heinonen|es:Eero Heinonen|fi:Eero Heinonen}} →
