Template documentation

Template commons file implements and formats inline links to pages at the file: namespace. By default, the template displays a Wikimedia icon, pre-inserted text, and trailing punctuation, as well as static link text. Appended text may also be included. Several of the default options may be edited by the user.

{{commons file|[filename]|[appended text]|p= }}

Copy a blank version to use. All parameter names must be in lowercase. Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Leading and trailing spaces ( ) are trimmed from parameter values; therefore, parameters will not display if they are only populated by spaces. By default, displayed values are separated by a single whitespace character. Delete unused parameters. See Script error: No such module "Section link". for important details.

Parameters

There are two ordered anonymous parameters; the target file page parameter ([1]) is required.

  • [1] (filename): use the first anonymous parameter for the filename of an associated file: namespace page, which becomes the target file page.

This parameter is required; output will not display otherwise.
Note: the default link is to the local copy of the Commons file page; for linking to the original, see parameter p below.
  • [2] (postscript): use the second anonymous parameter to append optional explanatory text that displays after the link to the target file page.
  • p (project): by default, the link to the file page targets the Wikipedia copy; set |p=c to link the original at Wikimedia Commons.
