ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ:Wikimedia sister projects
- To link sister projects using traditional inline text links see Wikipedia:InterWikimedia links.
Wikimedia sister projects are all the publicly available wikis operated by the Wikimedia Foundation, including the Wikipedia. This guideline covers Wikipedia's relations to the sister projects, including linking and copying content between Wikipedia article and a sister project.

When to link
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]Wikipedia encourages links from Wikipedia articles to pages on sister projects when such links are likely to be useful to our readers, and interlingual crosslinking to articles on foreign-language editions of Wikipedia whenever such links are possible.
By far, the most common use of links to the non-Wikipedia sister projects is the use of images that are stored on the Wikimedia Commons site.
How to link
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]Editors link to pages on sister projects (other than the inter-language Wikipedias) in five ways:
- by linking images and other files hosted by Wikicommons, such as File:Wind in the willows.jpg,
- through inline links such as this link to wikisource:The Wind in the Willows (the pipe trick works:
[[wikisource:The Wind in the Willows|''The Wind in the Willows'']]produces The Wind in the Willows), - through large graphical templates, such as
{{Wikisource|The Wind in the Willows}}, as shown at the right, - through standard links directly to the URL, exactly like any other website, such as The Wind in the Willows, and
- with templates that produce a formatted line for a bulleted list, such
{{Wikisource-inline|The Wind in the Willows}}, which produces:
Works related to The Wind in the Willows at Wikisource
As with standard wikilinks to other Wikipedia articles, pages at sister projects are normally linked only once within an article.
Where to place links
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]The best place and the best format for a link to a page on a Wikimedia sister project depend on the situation. For example, if a word in the text might be unfamiliar to some readers, then an inline link to Wiktionary directs readers to the definition of the word. Links to sister projects on disambiguation pages frequently use large, graphical templates such as {{Sister project links}} at the top of the page.
In normal lists and articles, if there is no directly relevant section in the page, then the links are usually placed in the external links section. If you are using an external-links style link (instead of a large, graphical template), then you may create an external links section for the sister link, even if there are no other links. If no such section exists and you are using a large, graphical template, then the links should be placed in the last section of the page, as described in the Manual of Style's layout page. The large, graphical templates should not be placed in a section by themselves. Sister links are not normally included in See also sections, which are reserved for links to pages within the English Wikipedia itself.
Sometimes, using the large, graphical templates in the external links section or the last section results in a long sequence of right-aligned boxes hanging off the bottom of the article, or otherwise disrupts the layout of the page. The templates also produce layout problems if they are placed at the top of a section that uses columns, which is common in references sections. In that circumstance, use other ways of linking to the sister projects. Changing the link to the one-line external links style (two examples shown in the previous section) usually resolves this problem. In other cases, {{Sister project links}} helpfully unifies all the links in a single, large, graphical template.
Common interproject link targets have standardized templates that allow them to be easily distinguished from normal external links. These templates can be found at Category:Interwiki link templates.
Soft redirects from Wikipedia to a sister project
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]Sometimes an entry is more appropriate on Wiktionary than Wikipedia and can never be expanded beyond simple dictionary definition. Normally, such articles are copied to Wiktionary using transwiki process, and deleted from Wikipedia afterwards.
However, if the word or phrase is commonly wikified, it is quite likely that the deleted entry will be quickly re-created again by well-meaning users. The re-created article is likely to be another simple dictionary definition, just as inappropriate for Wikipedia as the original.
To avoid this, do not delete after transwiki'ing. One solution, as suggested by Wikipedia deletion policy, is to instead normally redirect the word to a relevant article within Wikipedia. For instance, Organize could redirect it to a well-developed Organization article via #REDIRECT [[Organization]].
If this is not possible, turn a Wikipedia page into a soft redirect to a sister project. This is done by replacing the page with either the {{softredirect}} template, or one of specialized templates (template {{wi}} is recommended in case of Wiktionary). These templates inform reader to look for information on the sister project, in case of this example provide link to wikt:Organize article. This has multiple benefits:
- it brings the sister projects closer together,
- it prevents future clean up issues.
Wikipedia does not have an encyclopedia article for Wikimedia sister projects (search results). You may want to read Wiktionary's entry on "Organize" instead. |  |
This applies to other sister projects as well, not only to Wiktionary. Please keep in mind that only commonly wikified words should become soft redirects. We don't need a soft redirect for every possible word or phrase to be included in Wikipedia.
Templates
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]The Wikipedia:Template messages/Sister projects page lists templates that are designed to provide article-to-article linking between Wikipedia and its Wikimedia sister projects.

Unified login or Merged Account
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]Unified login is a mechanism which allows users to use a single login across the majority of the Wikimedia Foundation's sister projects. This allows users to maintain a consistent identity throughout Wikimedia, following a single sign-up. Other advantages of this mechanism include the removal of the threat that impersonation poses and the ability to visit many projects without having to go through the labors of logging in everywhere. Users can create a unified login by visiting Special:MergeAccount on a project where they already have an account, and following the prompts.
