[edit] [purge] Template documentation

This template is part of Wikimedia sister projects.

This template is meant to replace image galleries in Wikipedia articles by linking to the corresponding Wikimedia Commons Category instead. It should be placed at the bottom of the page, typically in the See Also section.

[edit] Usage

• {{Commonsimages cat|related Commons category (optional)|Wikipedia name (optional)}}

Both parameters are optional, and are intended for cases where the Commons category name is different from the Wikipedia page name. The first parameter is the name of the corresponding category on the Wikimedia Commons, without the Category: prefix. If this first parameter is used, then the template will display the Commons category name, which may be confusing to readers. This text can be replaced by the second parameter, where the Wikipedia page name would typically be used.

For example, on the Polar bear page,

{{Commonsimages cat|Ursus maritimus|Polar bears}}

produces a link to Commons:Category:Ursus maritimus displayed as Polar bears.
