This template when used on an author's page will utilise interwiki links stored at Wikidata to create the link and the label to the author page at English Wikisource. A different language can be chosen by using the |lang= parameter and the corresponding language code.
Usage[edit]
Wikisource title link via Wikidata Sitelink[edit]
| Wikitext | Output | Notes |
|---|---|---|
At William Shakespeare{{wikisource author}}
|
|
Placement of the template is usually after the "External links" section header prior to any inline list. Warning: Do not put an asterisk "*" at the start of the line or it will cause the box and text to be distorted. |
Wikisource title link via Parameter Argument[edit]
To note that parameters can still be utilised to override the presentation, though this would not be the preferred means as when a page is moved here or at Wikisource the link would be broken. An example of such usage would be adding an author link on an article that is a list of works of the author.
| Wikitext | Output |

At Alice Bertha Gomme {{wikisource author|wslink=Alice Bertha Gomme|title=Alice Gomme}}
