Template:Further ill
This template is used to link to articles containing further information on a topic, where English Wikipedia does not yet have such an article, but another language Wikipedia does. It looks like this:
It is typically used at the top of a section, when the topic of that section is covered in more detail by a page on another Wikipedia. It combines the features of {{Further}} and {{Interlanguage link}}, and provides one of the chief advantages of red links by pointing out a topic that should have an article on English Wikipedia but does not, while indicating where such information is readily available.
