Template:Wikisource author/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Wikisource author. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |

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
Wikisource title link via Wikidata Sitelink
| Wikitext | Output | Notes |
|---|---|---|
At William Shakespeare<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> Wikisource has original works by or about: [[:s:|]] |
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
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.
