Template:Breadcrumbs/doc

The template heavily leverages Interwiki links to connect to related pages on other wikis, both internal (Open EI and IM Wiki) and external (Wikipedia and Mediawiki).

Note that this template is also designed to work natively within the Private wikis as well.

Parameters

All parameters are optional in the {{Breadcrumbs}} template.

Parameter	Description	Notes
|align=	Enter left, center, or right to specify the alignment.	The default is right.
|page=	Specify the article name you want to link to.	The default is the name of the article the template is used on.
|url=	This is the URL for the official website.	If omitted, no official website link will be shown.
|officialwebsite=	Enter yes or no to set whether a link is shown to the site specified in |url=.	(Deprecated) The default is yes. This parameter only has an effect if an official website URL is provided by |url=, and |officialwebsite=no is specified so that the URL is ignored. A better solution in that case would be to simply omit the |url= parameter.
|energy=	Enter the URL for the associated website on energy.gov	If the primary website for the page is the energy.gov site, typically use the |url= parameter instead. This option is provided for when the official site for the page is an external site, but there is also an energy.gov site for the topic that should also be linked to.
|wikipedia=	Enter yes or no to set whether a link is shown for Wikipedia.	The default is yes.
|mediawiki=	Enter yes or no to set whether a link is shown for Mediawiki.	The default is no.
|commons=	Enter yes or no to set whether a link is shown for Wiki Commons.	The default is no.
|powerpedia=	Enter yes or no to set whether a link is shown for Saintapedia.	The default is no.
|openei=	Enter yes or no to set whether a link is shown for Open EI.	The default is no.
|imwiki=	Enter yes or no to set whether a link is shown for IM Wiki.	The default is no.
|other=	Enter the URL for another site to link to	There are also |other2= through |other9= parameters for additional links.
|othername=	Enter the name of the site, either as a link or as plain text	This should be used whenever |other= is used. It has no effect if |other= is not set. There are also |othername2= through |othername9= parameters for additional links.
