This should always be used to make a link from a reference in the <i>text</i> of a Wikiquote article, a policy page, or a talk page to the appropriate Wikipedia article. (For instance, the first occurrence of the subject of a Wikiquote article, which is rendered bold, should include one of these links to the corresponding subject on Wikipedia.) </p><p>The preferred format for making these links to the English Wikipedia from Wikimedia projects in languages <i>other</i> than English is: </p> <dl><dd><b><kbd>[[w:en:Name or subject|Name or subject]]</kbd></b></dd></dl> <p>A list of the prefixes used to link to other projects and between languages can be found at <a href="/wiki/Special:SiteMatrix" title="Special:SiteMatrix">List of Wikimedia wikis</a> under "Special pages" in the left-margin "toolbox". </p><p>The second format, typically used only in the "External links" section of Wikiquote articles, is a template or "box" link with the simple syntax: </p> <dl><dd><b><kbd>{{wikipedia}}</kbd></b></dd></dl> <div class="noprint" style="clear: right; border: solid #aaa 1px; margin: 0 0 1em 1em; font-size: 90%; background: #f9f9f9; width: 250px; padding: 4px; spacing: 0px; text-align: left; float: right;"> <div style="float: left;"><figure class="mw-halign-none" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg" class="mw-file-description" title="Wikipedia"><img alt="Wikipedia" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg/50px-Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="46" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg/75px-Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg/100px-Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="103" data-file-height="94"/></a><figcaption>Wikipedia</figcaption></figure></div> <div style="margin-left: 60px;"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia" title="Wikipedia">Wikipedia</a> has an article about: <div style="margin-left: 10px;"><i><b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shakespeare" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:William Shakespeare">William Shakespeare</a></b></i></div> </div> </div> <p>This generates a small box on the right-side of the article with a link to the corresponding article of the same name.
