; Externals links for title and chapter : The title of the cited publication can be linked:
:* If there is a one-on-one relationship between the publication named in the '''{{Code|title}}''' parameter and an English Wikipedia article, e.g.:
:** {{Para|title|[[The LiederNet Archive]]}}
:** {{Para|title|[[Spitta's Johann Sebastian Bach|Johann Sebastian Bach: His Work and Influence on the Music of Germany]]}}
:* Alternatively, the wikilink can be defined separately—without paired square brackets—using the '''{{Code|title-link}}''' parameter:
:** {{Para|title|The LiederNet Archive}} + {{Para|title-link|The LiederNet Archive}}
:** {{Para|title|Johann Sebastian Bach: His Work and Influence on the Music of Germany}} + {{Para|title-link|Spitta's Johann Sebastian Bach}}
:* Deep links are also possible:
:** {{Para|title|[[Becker Psalter#Schütz|Becker Psalter]]}}
:** {{Para|title|Becker Psalter}} + {{Para|title-link|wikipedia:List of compositions by Heinrich Schütz#Becker Psalter}}
:* Links can be made to sister projects and other wiki-linkable sites as well:
:** {{Para|title|[[scores:Grundlage einer Ehren-Pforte (Mattheson, Johann)|Grundlage einer Ehren-Pforte]]}}
:** {{Para|title|Ueber Johann Sebastian Bachs Leben, Kunst und Kunstwerke}} + {{Para|title-link|wikisource:de:Ueber Johann Sebastian Bachs Leben, Kunst und Kunstwerke}}
:* If there's no appropriate wikilink target, use the '''{{Code|url}}''' parameter to create an external link to a web page that has the content indicated by the title, giving preference to those that
:*# give clutter-free access to the entire publication
:*# are most likely to be stable
:*# offer the most precision for referencing (e.g. with chapter subdivisions, section titles, page numbers)
:*#* Using {{Para|title|Symphony No. 4, "Tragic", D. 417 – Symphony in C (Grand Duo, D. 812, orch. Joachim)}} as an example: {{Para|url|<nowiki>https://www.chandos.net/chanimages/Booklets/NA3095.pdf</nowiki>}} is a better link than {{Para|url|<nowiki>https://www.naxos.com/mainsite/blurbs_reviews.asp?item_code=8.553095&catNum=553095&filetype=About%20this%20Recording&language=English</nowiki>}} as this alternative link does not have the full, referenced content, does not mention the author and has no page numbers
:* Similarly, for linking a chapter named in the '''{{Code|chapter}}''' parameter (combines with '''{{Code|chapter-link}}''' and '''{{Code|chapter-url}}''' parameters for internal and external links, respectively):
:** {{Para|chapter|Franz Schubert’s letzte Compositionen}} + {{Para|chapter-link|wikisource:de:Seite:Gesammelte Schriften über Musik und Musiker Bd.2 (1854).pdf/234}} is a better link target than {{Para|chapter-url|<nowiki>https://archive.org/details/SchumannGesammelteSchriften1854B2/page/n233</nowiki>}} as a link to a free archival project which transcribes the Gothic script and provides links to topics is preferable to an external link, and likely to be more stable.
