Wikispecies:Sister projects

From Wikispecies

Wikispecies is run by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, which operates several other multilingual and free-content projects:

Meta-Wiki Coordination of all Wikimedia projects	Wikipedia The free encyclopedia	Commons Shared media repository
Wikibooks Free textbooks and manuals	Wikiquote Collection of quotations	Wiktionary Dictionary and thesaurus
Wikisource The free library	Wikinews Free content news source	Wikiversity Free content learning materials

These templates are designed to provide article-to-article linking between Meta-Wiki and its Wikimedia sister projects.

This page is about coordination in the names and parameter uses in all of this kind of Wikimedia templates.

[edit] General considerations

Par is used generally in the template name to point to a concrete page name in a sister project (i.e.wikiquotepar).
