Template:Commons/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Commons (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is part of Wikipedia's sister projects.

This template links an article to a page on Wikimedia Commons, containing a gallery of related images. Use this template in the style {{Commons|PAGENAME}}, where PAGENAME is the name of a page on the commons. An optional third parameter gives the displayed link text. So, to link to a category on the commons, use {{Commons|Category:CATNAME|CATNAME}} or {{Commonscat|CATNAME}}, where CATNAME is the name of the category.
