Using the width and border parameters, you can easily center smaller boxes if you're having trouble centering them:

Copy and paste the template code and enter your corresponding usernames in the corresponding fields. You can leave those you don't have blank.

|border = <!-- Use this parameter to show border. This helps with centering your box. Format: [number]px (e.g. 1px)-->
}}
Using the width and border parameters you can restrict the size of the box so users with smaller resolutions get a side scroll bar instead of having the boxes wrap down. If you're having trouble centering your box, these two parameters are also very useful.

[edit] Interwikimedia link templates
An interwikimedia link is a link from a Wikimedia project to another one (e.g., from Wikipedia to Wiktionary).
[edit] Shortcuts and templates to Wikimedia sister projects
Some links don't work as expected within the same project, e.g., meta:Test on Meta itself would mean m:Meta:Test, a different page. Outside of Wikimedia sister projects only metawikipedia:Test might work for m:Test.
Links to foreign-language Wikiprojects can be made by prefixing the language code: [[:de:s:]] will link to the German-language Wikisource, [[:fr:wikt:]] to the French-language Wiktionary, etc.
[edit] Suppressing the prefix
There are two ways to suppress the prefix:
- The Pipe trick
- Add | at the end of the link, like this: [[s:test|]], which will automatically be expanded to [[s:test|test]] on saving.
- The template {{w}}
- This template, found on most Wikimedia projects, allows one to link to Wikipedia without either printing the "w:" prefix, nor needing to repeat the title. Thus instead of [[w:Page Name|Page Name]], one may write: {{w|Page Name}}.
[edit] Special versions of Wikipedia
There are also two special versions of Wikipedia, nostalgia and test. Nostalgia is a static copy of Wikipedia as it was in 2001, and can be linked to by using [[nost:]]. Test is a version of Wikipedia for edit and software testing, and can be linked to by using [[testWiki:]].
[edit] Examples
As demonstrated above by the double prefixes (for example [[wikt:de:Main Page]]), links may cumulate, thus enabling links that are not possible with a single prefix, for example linking a word in the English Wikipedia to a term in the German Wiktionary.
