| To avoid reader confusion, inline interlanguage, or interwiki, linking within an article's body text is generally discouraged. Exceptions: [[Wiktionary]] and [[Wikisource]] entries may be linked inline (e.g. to an unusual word or the text of a document being discussed), and {{tl|ill}}, {{tl|ill2}}, or {{tl|ill-WD}} templates may be helpful in some cases to show both a [[WP:RED|red link]] and an interlanguage link.{{explain}} | | To avoid reader confusion, inline interwiki linking within an article's body text is generally discouraged.

| ===Floating boxes===
| |
| {{wikiquote|Jimmy Wales}}Floating boxes for links to articles in other Wikimedia Foundation projects such as Wiktionary and Wikiquote can be done with special link templates such as <code><nowiki>{{Wikiquote|Jimmy Wales}}</nowiki></code>. These will display as a box with a logo. Similar templates exist for some free content resources that are not run by the Wikimedia Foundation. These boxes are formatted in light green to distinguish them from Wikipedia's official sister projects. A list of such templates can be found at [[Wikipedia:List of templates linking to other free content projects]].
