Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. This template is part of Wikipedia's sister projects. This template links an article to a page on Wikimedia Commons, containing a gallery of related media. Note that it does not link to a Commons category, which will give a larger selection of media; for that use Template:Commons category.
Contents
Usage
To place this template on the page, type {{Commons|pagename}}, where pagename is the name of a page on Wikimedia Commons (defaults to "{{PAGENAME}}", the end-name of a page where used).
- The optional 2nd parameter gives the displayed link text.
- The
|position=
parameter accepts one keyword,left
, to float the box to the left instead of to the right. - To link to a Category, use the related template
{{Commons category|catname}}
, where catname is the name of the category.
Location
Do not place this template in a section all by itself.
Do not place this template in a section containing columns.
This template should normally be placed at the top of the last section in the article, or consider using {{Commons-inline}}
instead. See Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects for further recommendations about the best choice of template for various situations.
On disambiguation pages, this template should be listed above other text, but below any cleanup templates, images, infoboxes or navboxes.
Defaults
The pagenam defaults to wiki-variable "{{PAGENAME}}", which is the end-name of the page where used. For a Template:Txxx, the {{PAGENAME}} would be the end-name "Txxx". For a Category:Catxxx, that page would have {{PAGENAME}} as the end-name "Catxxx".
The default positioning of the link-box is to the right-side.
