User:TFOWR/Userboxes/Wikipedia/Sister Wiki/doc

This userbox can be used to point to your userpage on sister Wikipedias. It accepts two optional parameters: the "prefix" and a page on the sister Wikipedia. If the first parameter is omitted the userbox will default to the English Wikipedia. The second parameter can more usefully be omitted: it is only required if the page on the sister Wikipedia is different to your userpage here.

Usage
prefix of sister wiki

Known limitations

 * The userbox assumes that the Wikipedia "prefix" is also used as a suffix for the sister wiki's image. If this isn't the case bad things will probably happen.
 * It would be nice if the bold "wiki name" linked to the sister wiki. I couldn't find an easy way to do this (I didn't try very hard...) Obviously I tried stuff like  and  . The problem I had was predicting what "Main Page" is in various languages...   doesn't work, for obvious reasons. One solution would be to use , but that's pretty ugly. The closest I came to getting this to work was with   &mdash; but this fell apart as soon as I attempted to use a pipe in the link. And yes, I tried   instead of a pipe...!
