The {{tl|Sister project links}} template provides '''one box with links''' to corresponding pages on various [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects|Wikimedia sister projects]]. The following pages are sought, in order:
* An explicit page chosen by an editor (if provided)
* A sitelink in Wikidata (if exists)
* A search page on the sister project

Sending a reader to a search page can be an unpleasant experience, if there is no corresponding page for that subject. Editors have a choice between two methods to prevent this negative experience:
* Manually check each project for a relevant page, if missing, then set argument to "no" (e.g., {{para|wikt|n}})
* Use "automatic mode", which only displays a sister project by default if sitelink exists (e.g., {{para|auto|yes}})

Note that {{tl|Sister project auto}} is equivalent to {{tlx|Sister project links|<nowiki>auto=yes</nowiki>}}.

===Default display===
For any project parameter, there are four acceptable values:
* '''"yes"''' means find a reasonable link for the sister project (wikidata, or default back to search)
* '''"no"''' means exclude this sister project: no link
* '''a string''' means link to the page with whose title is that string
* '''blank or missing''' means use the default
** If {{para|auto|yes}}, default is either use wikidata (if present), or drop the link
** If {{para|auto|no}}, if project is in the "yes" list above, either use wikidata or search. Otherwise drop the link.

===Location===
[[File:Sister link template columns problem.jpg|thumb|If using a large, graphical template produces odd layout problems, like the excessive white space shown on the right of this screenshot, then switch to a different sister template.]]

Generally:
: {{cross}} '''Do not place this template in a section all by itself.'''
: {{cross}} '''Do not place this template in a section containing columns.'''

Specifically:
* In articles, this template should normally be placed at the ''top'' of the [[WP:External links|External links]] section, if it exists. Otherwise, place this template at the top of the last section in the article.
** See [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects#Where to place links]] for more information and alternatives.
* In [[WP:DAB|disambiguation pages]], this template should be listed above other text, but below any cleanup templates, images, infoboxes or navboxes.
