Module:Make Wikisource link

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module creates a link to a page at Wikisource. It is intended to be called from {{Wikisource/outer core}}; you probably should not use it anywhere else.

If the template is used in mainspace and no link at Wikidata is found, it sometimes populates Category:Wikisource templates with missing id. In the following cases, it will not populate the category:

• |nocat=yes is provided
• "Year in topic" articles (e.g. 1871 in Canada)
• "Decade in topic" articles (e.g. 2020s in music)
• The article is a list (title begins with List)
• Disambiguation page and set index articles
• Articles about species. Note that there is no all included species category, so we make use of Category:Articles with 'species' microformats to check whether the article is about a species.

If none of the above are true, the category is populated.
