This template links to pages on non-English Wikipedias for pages that do not exist on the English Wikipedia. It displays a red link to the page, as normally occurs for nonexistent pages, followed by one or more links to the non-English article(s). Once the English Wikipedia article is created, the template will show a normal blue link without the non-English links.[a]

Parameters

The general format of this template is ((ill|Page name|language code 1|page name 1|language code 2|page name 2|...))

The first parameter, Page name, is the article title as it should be on English Wikipedia; this will be a red link.

Remaining parameters are language code/page name pairs, where each pair defines the title of an existing page on a foreign language Wikipedia. One or more pairs may be included.[b] For example:

If the page name on the non-English Wikipedia is the same as on the English Wikipedia, then those parameters can be left blank:


More examples, if needed

Red linked in English

Blue in English (redirects)

These examples show the English link as blue, because a redirect exists:

Some non-Latin scripts among the links

Notes

  1. ^ This will link to some note sooner or later...
  2. ^ The vertical bar after the language code of the last language code/page name pair may be omitted, if the page name is also omitted because the foreign and English page names are identical. So for example, ((ill|Hanning Schröder|de|)) with the final vertical bar and ((ill|Hanning Schröder|de)) without it are the same thing. The vertical bar must be present in all pairs except for the last one.
  3. ^ Although no article on English Wikipedia exists for this title, the link is blue anyway because there's a redirect for it.
