{{Documentation subpage}}
{{High-use}}
<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->

==Usage==
The default behaviour of this template is to present a string "Wikisource has original text related to this article:" with a link to a page on Wikisource with the same name as the Wikipedia page.

This template takes up to two optional parameters which will alter the page name used to link to Wikisource.

*<nowiki>{{Wikisource|alternative page link|different name, if desired}}</nowiki>

==Examples==
<nowiki>{{Wikisource|1=Leaves of Grass/Book XVII|2=name for Leaves of Grass}}</nowiki>

produces
{{Wikisource|1=Leaves of Grass/Book XVII|2=name for Leaves of Grass}}
{{-}}

<nowiki>{{Wikisource|1=Leaves of Grass/Book XVII#To You|2=name for Leaves of Grass To You}}</nowiki>

produces
{{Wikisource|1=Leaves of Grass/Book XVII#To You|2=name for Leaves of Grass To You}}
{{-}}

==Limitations==
===Square brackets – [ ]===
*You cannot use square brackets ("[" and "]") in the first parameter.

<nowiki>{{Wikisource|1=Leaves of Grass/Book XVII#Year of Meteors [1859-60]|2=name for Leaves of Grass Year of Meteors [1859-60]}}</nowiki>

produces
{{Wikisource|Leaves of Grass/Book XVII#Year of Meteors [1859-60]|2=name for Leaves of Grass Year of Meteors [1859-60]}}
{{-}}

To resolve this, use <nowiki>"&amp;#91;" and "&amp;#93;"</nowiki> instead:<br />
<nowiki>{{Wikisource|1=Leaves of Grass/Book XVII#Year of Meteors &amp;#91;1859-60&amp;#93;|2=name for Leaves of Grass Year of Meteors [1859-60]}}</nowiki>

produces
{{Wikisource|Leaves of Grass/Book XVII#Year of Meteors &#91;1859-60&#93;|2=name for Leaves of Grass Year of Meteors [1859-60]}}
{{-}}

===English only===
For foreign language Wikisources use: {{tlx|Wikisourcelang}}

example:
<nowiki>{{Wikisourcelang|fr|Du contrat social}}</nowiki>
gives
 {{Wikisourcelang|fr|Du contrat social}}
{{clear}}
