| ===Non-English-language sites===
| |
| Webpages in English are highly preferred. Linking to non-English pages may still be useful for readers in the following cases:
| |
| *When the website is the subject of the article
| |
| *When linking to pages with maps, diagrams, photos, tables (explain the key terms with the link, so that people who do not know the language can interpret them)
| |
| *When the webpage contains information found on no English-language site of comparable quality, and is used as a citation (or when translations on English-language sites are not authoritative).
| |
|
| |
| If the language is one that most readers could not be expected to recognize, or is for some other reason unclear from the name of the publication or the book/article/page title, consider indicating what language the site is in.
| |
| *Example: {{xt|[http://www.kohajone.com/ ''Koha Jonë''], an Albanian-language newspaper from [[Tirana]]}}
| |
| *Example: {{Xt|[http://www.elpais.es/ ''El País''], a Spanish-language newspaper from [[Madrid]]}}
| |
|
| |
| You can also indicate the language by putting a language icon after the link. This is done using [[Template:link language]] by typing <code><nowiki>{{link language|<language code>}}</nowiki></code>. For example, <code><nowiki>{{link language|es}}</nowiki></code> displays as: {{xt|{{link language|es}}}}. Alternatively, type <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki><var>xx</var> icon<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>, where <code><var>xx</var></code> is the language code. For example, <code><nowiki>{{pl icon}}</nowiki></code> gives: {{xt|{{pl icon}}}}. See [[:Category:Language icon templates]] for a list of these templates and the [[list of ISO 639 codes]].

|
| |
| When using one of the {{cs1}} or {{cs2}} templates, instead of the {{tld|xx icon}} or {{tld|link language}} templates, use the {{para|language}} parameter. This parameter accepts language names or [[list of ISO 639-1 codes|ISO 639-1]] language codes.
