Meta-Wiki Wikimedia project coordination	Wikipedia Free Encyclopedia	Wikiquote Collection of quotations
Wikibooks Free textbooks and manuals	Wikinews Free content news source	Wikisource Free source documents

These templates are designed to provide article-to-article linking between Meta-Wiki and its Wikimedia sister projects.
