Template:Wikipedia Library access/doc

This template uses Lua: Module:String (sandbox)

This template should not be substituted.

This template allows you to add a link to a resource accessed via The Wikipedia Library. The template's output is only visible in mainspace (article namespace) for autoconfirmed users; The Wikipedia Library is only accessible to extended-confirmed users (ie. users who have made 500+ edits and have had an account for 30+ days), so unregistered users and non-autoconfirmed users are unlikely to have any use for the TWL link. In other namespaces, the template is visible for everyone.

 Reminder: double-check links produced by this template, especially before adding them to mainspace citations!

• 1, aliases url and link: takes either a regular URL (in which case it will convert the URL to TWL format, ie. from www.example.com to www-example-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org) or a full Wikipedia Library source URL (in which case it won't modify the URL)
• 2, alias access: takes a string representing the access level of the source. Defaults to full, which returns Full access available as the display text for the piped link.
• doi: takes a DOI value and formats it as a Wikipedia Library DOI link
• jstor: takes a JSTOR reference number and formats it as a Wikipedia Library JSTOR stable URL
• gale: takes a Gale Document Number and formats it as a Wikipedia Library Gale stable URL (as of August 2025^[update] this parameter is still experimental, so make sure to check the resulting link is functional!)
• date: takes a date as of which the source was or wasn't accessible. This date isn't affected by date format templates, so it will be displayed exactly as input

If no parameters are defined, or only 2 / access is defined, the template defaults to plain text (other than a wikilink to The Wikipedia Library).
