<pre>
This page takes numeric parameters thru which normal control mnemonics may be defined.
{{#if:{{{1|}}}|<!--- These if's for passing exceptions (e.g. W2 no longer on Wp) 
----- Passing equals sign not successful... so adding here so need only pass the mnemonic
---->&#124;{{{1}}}={{#if:{{{2|}}}|<!---

---->&#124;{{{3}}}=}}{{#if:{{{4|}}}|<!---
---->&#124;{{{4}}}=}}<!---
---->}}... these act as inputs to interwikitmp-grp


This page takes one other parameter:

    RDIR = defined or not defined, 
    ... use this on redirects pages of the old templates names
    now redirects such as 'W2', 'W2c', 'Wd', 'WD', and 'Mw', etc.
    and include this page instead of using direct inclusions of 
    interwikitmp-grp. This provides for one place to update and maintain
    auto-catgegorization and participating sister projects, etc.
    
    When RDIR defined, properly pipetricks PAGENAME to indicate redirects pages.

'''Purpose:''' {{PAGENAME}} is one of a family of interwiki [[W:macro|Macro]] [[M:Help:template|templates]] which will give identical output for all [[M:Meta:Sister projects|sister projects]]; the macro  also takes a overt pipe-trick using an if-then-else construct, or automatically generates one from the [[M:help:magic word|magic word]] 'pagename', hiding the 'ugly' prefix. 

A parameter 'LANG' may be given to form an inter-language interwiki link in the form <nowiki>{{Mta|LANG=de|pagename|pipetrickname}},</nowiki> where 'de' (German) is a valid Language prefix recognized by [[w:Mediawiki Foundation]] [[m:Sister Projects|Sister project's]] servers. <!---

*All such macro's enable calls from any sister project to use the same call and get the same output result. This feature is chiefly used in category pages being linked by the various interwiki category to category templates such as the paired tagging templates:  [[w:Template:Commonscat1A|Commonscat1A]] & {{W2c|Template:Wikipediacat1A}} etcetera, including such for other sister projects like the omnibus template {{Tl|interwikicat-grp}} by simply copying the same language between the two matching categories. 

*Each connects to the general 'main' namespace of the given sister. Prefixing other namespaces such as ''Template: or Category:'', even talk spaces will link to such namespaces fine. In that case, the pipe-trick parameter <nowiki>{{{2}}}</nowiki> may be given to create a trimmer link of more pleasing appearance.

*'Cms' is primarily useful for see also lists on en.wikipedia or other direct accessing needs into a commons page. (Talk to Talk page, for example).

;Notes on genesis and equivalence:
:'W2' (ALSO:''' 'W' '''on many English sister projects, but with some name collisions on others) and 'W2c' interwiki templates came out of efforts to tag and interlink key categories on the Wikimedia Commons and En.Wikipedia, as the two places foreign language wiki's tie into and plant interwiki links. Mw (Meta) and Wd (Wiktionary) soon followed on the commons, wikpedia and Meta for inline referencing and direct page linking. All were written to enhance text portability when tagging and linking categories and then templates with common hyper linked prose to appropriate reference pages.

:These four originals are ''now exist only 'as redirects' ''to the more mnemonic''' 'Wpd', 'Cms', 'Mta' and 'Wdy' '''respectively adopting the three letter near-mnemonic's of [[m:MP:TSP|Wikiproject template sharing project]], which is standardizing templates to enhance productivity on all the sister projects.

:Some like the commons template {{[[Template:Cms|Cms]]}}, {{[[Template:Wbk|Wbk]]}}, {{[[Template:Wdy|Wdy]]}}, and {{[[Template:Wsp|Wsp]]}}, require logic to bypass their own prefix on their own site to enable interwiki portability or display of local links. (This is to say, that without such logic, these would display a full url, which does not reveal bad links, but full sitename prefixes are even worse, as evince always as redlinks).
