History

There used to be a Template:Wikipediapar, which was more powerful than Template:Wikipedia. Template:Wikipedia has been modified to work like Template:Wikipediapar, and Template:Wikipediapar has been redirected to the simpler name.

{{Wikipedia}} and {{Wikipediapar}} are now equivalent, though it's suggested to use the shorter, more natural code {{Wikipedia}}.
