=== "Find sources" links === For article Talk pages, a set of "find sources" links appears by default in the Talk header box. The default links correspond to the output of [[Template:Find sources]]; see [[Talk:Europe]] for an example. These links appear after the initial article policies and links for newcomers, and above the archiving section. For the article [[Europe]], it looks like this: {{General sources notice|Europe}} ==== Background ==== There are several flavors of "find sources" links (medical, video, general) targeted to different search domains. The flavor of "find sources" links displayed in the Talk header depends on [[WP:WikiProject|WikiProject]] membership of the article and may correspond to one of these: * {{tl|find medical sources}}{{snd}}for articles in the '''medical''' search domain * {{tl|find video game sources}}{{snd}}for articles in the '''video game''' search domain * {{tl|find general sources}}{{snd}}the default, for everything else, is the '''general''' domain. The default search domain is "general", which is the large majority of all Talk pages, and displays the links found in template {{tl|find general sources}}. The search domain is determined automatically by the template, depending on the presence of the corresponding [[WP:WikiProject|WikiProject]]. If an article belongs to [[WP:WikiProject Medicine|WikiProject Medicine]], it is in the medical search domain by default; if it belongs to [[WP:WikiProject Video games|WikiProject Video games]], it is in the video game search domain by default. (If it is in both, then the highest domain in the list above is chosen; i.e, 'medical'.) '''Example''' For the page [[Talk:Giardiasis]], which belongs to [[WP:WikiProject Medicine]], it looks like this: {{medical sources notice|giardiasis}} You can modify the nature of the source links displayed by [[#Hiding the links|Β§ Hiding the links]], [[#Modifying the "find sources" query terms|Β§ modifying the query terms]], or by [[#Search domain override|Β§ modifying the search domain]]. ==== Hiding the links ==== By default, these links do not appear outside of [[WP:NS|article Talk space]] (ns=1). Within article Talk space, the "find sources" links may be suppressed by setting parameter {{para|hide_find_sources|yes}}. ==== Modifying the "find sources" query terms ==== The find sources links use the article title by default as the search term and forms an "exact search" (or "double-quoted query"){{efn|name="exact search"|'''Exact search''' is also known as a "double-quoted query" because major search engines interpret paired double-quote characters as indicating that everything between the double quotes must be found exactly as specified.}} from the title. If the article title contains [[WP:PARENDIS|parenthetical disambiguation]] portion, this is appended after the exact search query term, as an additional, unquoted phrase. In place of the default, the query terms may be specified by using {{para|search_term}} (alias: {{para|search_term1}}) to specify the exact search string. Parameter {{para|search_term2}} may be added to specify additional, unquoted query terms, as many as desired. ==== Search domain override ==== The default domain chosen by automatic WikiProject detection may be overridden using param {{para|search-domain}}: * {{para|search-domain|medical}}{{snd}}use {{pval|medical}} as the search domain, regardless what projects it belongs to (value alias: {{pval|med}}) * {{para|search-domain|video game}}{{snd}}use {{pval|video games}} as the search domain, regardless what projects it belongs to (value alias: {{pval|video}}, and {{pval|vg}})) * {{para|search-domain|general}}{{snd}}use {{pval|general}} as the search domain, regardless what projects it belongs to (value alias: {{pval|gen}}) The parameter alias {{para|domain}} may be used instead; thus, {{para|domain|med}} means the same thing as {{para|search-domain|medical}}.
