Module:Commons link (sandbox)

This template is part of Wikipedia's sister projects. This template links an article to a page on Wikimedia Commons, containing a gallery of related media. Note that it does not link to a Commons category, which will give a larger selection of media; for that use Template:Commons category.

Usage[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]

`{{Commons}}`	—puts link-box with current page's name.
`{{Commons\|pagename}}`	—puts link-box connecting title pagename.
`{{Commons\|pagename\|showname}}`	—puts link-box showing the title showname.
`{{Commons\|pagename\|position=left}}`	—floats link-box to the left side.

To place this template on the page, type {{Commons|pagename}}, where pagename is the name of a page on Wikimedia Commons (defaults to "{{PAGENAME}}", the end-name of a page where used).

The optional 2nd parameter gives the displayed link text.
The |position= parameter accepts one keyword, left, to float the box to the left instead of to the right.
To link to a Category, use the related template {{Commons category|catname}}, where catname is the name of the category.

Defaults[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]

The pagename defaults to wiki-variable "{{PAGENAME}}", which is the end-name of the page where used. For a Template:Txxx, the {{PAGENAME}} would be the end-name "Txxx". For a Category:Catxxx, that page would have {{PAGENAME}} as the end-name "Catxxx".

The default positioning of the link-box is to the right-side.
