This template shows a right-floating sister-project box with a link to a Wikipedia page.
The template should be placed inside the section it refers to, immediately after the header. In the default case (a reference to the English Wikipedia) that is immediately following the ==English== header. If there are also images, box templates such as this should appear first. Alternatively, consider linking to Wikipedia in the "Further reading" section using the inline template {{pedia}}.[1]

Footnotes
- ^ Some editors prefer inline linking in all cases, but there is currently no consensus for one approach over the other. See, for example, this 2017 Beer Parlour discussion. As of Feb 2021,
{{wikipedia}}had about 225,000 mainspace transclusions compared to about 28,000 for inline{{pedia}}.
