{{High-use}}
{{tl|Scholia}} produces a box with a link from a Wikipedia article to the Scholia profile for the subject of that article. The box is comparable to the existing popular templates for linking to {{tl|Commons}} or any {{tl|Sister project}}. 

== Status ==
The template is experimental and not fully documented yet. It should only be used on strictly scientific subjects (including biographies of scientists) and not on subjects of a more general interest, as the results for the latter group are not useful yet in general. 

== Usage ==
Use this template in the same way as {{tl|Commons}} or {{tl|Sister project}}, which is to put this box in the "external links" section at the bottom of a Wikipedia article.

This box connects Wikipedia articles to select information in Wikidata. Unlike with the other sister projects, in Wikidata there are endless ways to match Wikipedia readers with content on Wikidata. Scholia is one option; anyone else might propose other options.

As of 2020, Scholia and this template best profile scholarly topics with a bias toward those topics for which citation metadata is most easily accessible. Try it anywhere.

=== With Scholia aspects ===
The template supports different aspects of [[:wikidata:Wikidata:Scholia|Scholia]]:
