This template is a simplified version of Template:Interlanguage link. It links conditionally to one page on German Wikipedia that has the same article name as on English Wikipedia. If the specified article does not exist on the English Wikipedia, this template intentionally displays a red link to that anticipated but still-nonexistent article, followed by a link to the specified article on German Wikipedia shown in the link underlying the bracketed '[de]' language code. Hovering over the '[de]' link displays the name of the article on the non-English Wikipedia, as normal. Links to German Wikipedia articles are always blue; it is up to the editor to make sure they link to the intended article.
If the specified article exists (that is, after the anticipated article has been created) on the English Wikipedia, this template will only show the blue link to that article, and no longer to the German link.[a]
Please be aware Cewbot converts {{ill}} links to regular (blue) links when it detects the target article has been created on English Wikipedia.[a]
Usage
To link to a German article with the same title as the article on English Wikipedia:
{{ill de|Article title}}
For example:
{{ill de|Frauenkirchhof (Dresden)}}gives Frauenkirchhof (Dresden) [de]
To link to a German article with a different title, or to multiple foreign articles, please use {{Interlanguage link}} instead.
Modifying the display
Piped links
To create a piped link (display different link text than the red-linked English Wikipedia article would have), you may use |lt=. This is described at Template:Interlanguage link#Displaying different text.
Vertical alignment
The '[de]' interlanguage link is placed in superscript by default. This can be changed by the use of |vertical-align=:
vertical-align=supto place the links in superscript (default)vertical-align=subto place the links in subscriptvertical-align=baseto place the links on the baseline
The parameter aliases |valign= or |v= may be used instead.
Automatic removal
If you create an {{interlanguage link}} and an English Wikipedia article is later created, this template will appear as a regular (blue) link as explained above. The underlying template, however, will eventually be edited automatically (it is one of the tasks assigned to bot Cewbot), removing the template and resulting in a regular (blue) link. While this is intended to save on the computational load, it does mean users will not again be directed to the foreign-language article if the article is later deleted as this information is lost. The link will become a red link.
