parameter and the corresponding language code.

Placement of the template is usually after the "External links" section header prior to any inline list. Warning: Do not put an asterisk "*" at the start of the line or it will cause the box and text to be distorted. |
To note that parameters can still be utilised to override the presentation, though this would not be the preferred means as when a page is moved here or at Wikisource the link would be broken. An example of such usage would be adding an author link on an article that is a list of works of the author.
