This template can be used to provide a link to the ''[[Encyclopædia Iranica]]'''s article on a given subject.

== Usage ==
Add one of the following to the "External links" section of an article:

<pre>
* {{Iranica}}
* {{Iranica|<page name>|<optional title>}}
</pre>

The former fetches the link from Wikidata and extracts the link text from the page name.

<code><page name></code> is the phrase at the last part of the URL (after '/') of the Iranica article. For example, the [http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/cyrus-iii article for "Cyrus II The Great"] (<code>http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/cyrus-iii</code>) would use:
<pre>
* {{Iranica|cyrus-iii|CYRUS iii. Cyrus II The Great}}
</pre>
