Template documentation | This template is used on 303,000+ pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to it 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 a single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |

|User=Jimbo Wales. - Project defines a Wikimedia sister project to be used instead of the English Wikipedia, the correct code for the interwiki link should be used, e.g.
|Project=b. - Lang is the interlanguage code for a project to be used instead of the English Wikipedia, e.g.
|Lang=es. This can be used in conjunction with the project parameter. - separator defines the symbol used to separate different links, e.g.
