  • {{tlx|Further}}: for further detail on a narrower topic
  • {{tlx|Broader}}: for broader coverage of the topic, but not a main article
  • {{tlx|See also}}: related topics at roughly the same level of focus

<p>{{ill|Mikuni Pass|ja|三国峠 (群馬県・新潟県)}}</p>
<p></pre></p>
<p>It's also possible to use a plain interwiki link, and this is what you want to use if you're using it in an edit summary.  <nowiki><a href='?title=%3Afr%3APatrick_Norman'>:fr:Patrick Norman</a></nowiki></p>
<p>Interlanguage spans:</p>
<ul>
<li>{{tlx|langx}} for the first mention of a foreign-language term in an article</li>
<li>{{tlx|lang}} for subsequent mentions or general use.</li>
</ul>
<p>Don't use either inside <nowiki>{{cite}}s</nowiki> and the like; it can mess with the metadata. Besides, most of the cite templates have their own ways of dealing with languages anyway.</p></div></section><section class='wiki-section collapsible' id='section--nterwiki-links-'><h2 class='section-toggle'>== Interwiki links ==</h2><div class='wiki-body'><p>Wikivoyage: the base template creates a wiki box; the inline one is suitable for use in a bulleted list.</p>
