This template uses Lua:

Module:Commons link (sandbox)

This template relies on Template:Sister-inline.

Purpose

This template can be used to generate a link to a page containing media related to a Commons category. It is intended for use in the "External links" section of an article.

Usage

* {{Commons-inline|Commons-gallery-page-name}}

Commons gallery page name is optional; if missing, the template will look up the associated gallery in Wikidata. If that's missing, it will find the associated category. If that's missing, it will finally fall back to a Commons search.

Full syntax

* {{Commons-inline
|list=                       wikitext for a list 
|links=                      wikitext to override default link 
|Commons-gallery-page-name= 
|extratext=                  extra text 
|search=                     string to search in Commons
|notrack=                    turn off tracking categories
|italic=                     italicize link text
}}
