Template:Commons/doc

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.

 * —puts link-box with current page's name.
 * —puts link-box connecting title pagename.
 * —puts link-box showing the title showname.
 * —floats link-box to the left side.
 * }
 * —puts link-box showing the title showname.
 * —floats link-box to the left side.
 * }
 * }

To place this template on the page, type  , where pagename is the name of a page on Wikimedia Commons (defaults to "", the end-name of a page where used).
 * The optional 2nd parameter gives the displayed link text.
 * The position parameter accepts one keyword,, to float the box to the left instead of to the right.
 * To link to a Category, use the related template, where catname is the name of the category.

Defaults
The pagename defaults to wiki-variable "", which is the end-name of the page where used. For a Template:Txxx, the would be the end-name "Txxx". For a Category:Catxxx, that page would have as the end-name "Catxxx".

The default positioning of the link-box is to the right-side.
