Template:Wikisource author/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Wikisource author. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on approximately 5,300 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |

This template when used on an author's page will utilise interwiki links stored at Wikidata to create the link and the label to the author page at English Wikisource. A different language can be chosen by using the |lang= parameter and the corresponding language code.
Usage[edit]
Wikisource title link via Wikidata Sitelink[edit]
| Wikitext | Output | Notes |
|---|---|---|
At William Shakespeare{{wikisource author}}
|
 |
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. |
Wikisource title link via Parameter Argument[edit]
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.
| Wikitext | Output |
|---|---|
At Alice Bertha Gomme {{wikisource author|wslink=Alice Bertha Gomme|title=Alice Gomme}}

"works by or about"[edit]
The default template text says "Wikisource has original works by or about [author]". This can be changed to "works by [author]", "works about [author]", or "works by and about [author]", by setting the |works= parameter.
