{{Lua|Module:Make Wikisource link|Module:ISO 639 name|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}
This is a versatile template which links to a source at one of our [[WP:SISTER|sister projects]], [[Wikisource]].

<code><nowiki>{{Wikisource|<link target>|<link display>|lang=<lang code>|has=<text to introduce the link>|nocat=yes to disable categorization|italics=yes to display the source in italics}}</nowiki></code>

Its behavior can be modified in the following ways:
* [[#Modifying the link target|Modifying the link target]]
* [[#Modifying the display text|Modifying how the display text for the link]]
* [[#Linking to another language's Wikisource|Linking to another language's Wikisource]] (including [[:s:mul:Main Page|Multiple language Wikisource]])
* [[#Wikidata|Linking to the source attached to the article]] via the [[WP:INTERWIKI|interwiki link]] at [[Wikidata]]
* [[#Modifying the introductory text|Modifying the introductory text]]
* [[#Works by or about something|Indicating that the source is by or about the article topic]]
* [[#Categorisation|Disabling categorisation]] (via {{para|nocat|yes}})
* Displaying the source in italics (via {{para|italics|yes}})

==Modifying the link target==
To modify the link target, include the name of the document at Wikisource as the first parameter, or as {{para|wslink}}:

<code><nowiki>{{Wikisource|Magna Carta}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{Wikisource|wslink=Magna Carta}}</nowiki></code>

both produce:{{Wikisource|Magna Carta}}
{{clear}}
==Modifying the display text==
The second parameter is the display text:

<code><nowiki>{{Wikisource|The Velveteen Rabbit#9|Name for The Velveteen Rabbit}}</nowiki></code>

produces:{{Wikisource|The Velveteen Rabbit#9|Name for The Velveteen Rabbit}}
{{clear}}
You can alternatively use {{para|title}}, which has the same effect. This can be handy if you only want to alter the display text, not the link target.
==Linking to another language's Wikisource==
To link to another language's Wikisource, you can either use the {{para|lang}} parameter, or you can put the language before the source links.

<code><nowiki>{{Wikisource|la|Magna Carta|Magna Carta in Latin}}</nowiki></code>

and

<code><nowiki>{{Wikisource|Magna Carta|Magna Carta in Latin|lang=la}}</nowiki></code>

both produce: {{Wikisource|Magna Carta|Magna Carta in Latin|lang=la}}
{{clear}}

== Modifying the introductory text ==
The {{para|has}} parameter overrides the text following the word "has" introductory text text:
<code><nowiki>{{Wikisource|Magna Carta|has=the full text of the Magna Carta}}</nowiki></code>

produces: {{Wikisource|Magna Carta|has=the full text of the Magna Carta}}
{{clear}}

== Works by or about something ==
The {{para|works}} parameter has four values, all of which indicate that the source at Wikisource is by or about the subject matter. It can be set to any case-insensitive version of:
* {{kbd|by}}
* {{kbd|about}}
* {{kbd|both}} (or equivalently {{kbd|and}})
* {{kbd|or}} (discouraged; please be specific about what text is present at Wikisource)
If given anything else, the parameter is ignored. The parameter has no viable effect if {{para|has}} is provided (see {{slink||Modifying the introductory text}}), but will change the link target to include an {{samp|Author}} prefix (or the equivalent namespace used in the language version, according to {{t|Wikisource/Author}}).

For example, <code><nowiki>{{Wikisource|Author:Marcus Tullius Cicero|Cicero|works=both}}</nowiki></code> produces:
{{Wikisource|Author:Marcus Tullius Cicero|Cicero|works=both}}
{{clear}}

== Wikidata ==
If the template is not given a link target, it will attempt to find [[WP:INTERWIKI|an interwiki link]] from [[Wikidata]]. If no Wikidata link is found, it will search Wikisource for the Wikipedia article's title.

==Categorisation==
If no Wikidata link is found, the template will populate {{clc|Wikisource templates with missing id}}. If the lack of interwiki link is intentional, add {{para|nocat|yes}}.

The following error categories are <strong>not</strong> turned off with {{para|nocat|yes}}:
*Pages with unknown parameters are sorted into {{clc|Pages using Wikisource with unknown parameters}}
*Pages with invalid {{para|works}} parameters are sorted into {{clc|Category:Pages using Wikisource with an invalid works parameter}}
