If the article to be disambiguated does not have an article on the English Wikipedia, but has an article on a [[WP:SISTER|sister project]] in another language, the term may be linked to the sister project using the <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Interlanguage link|interlanguage link]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> template.{{efn|The <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Interlanguage link|interlanguage link]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> template is one of [[Help:Interwiki linking|several methods]] for linking to [[WP:SISTER|sister projects]]. It is the preferred method, because [[User:Cewbot|a bot exists]] that removes the tempate once the article is created on the English Wikipedia.}}

Use of the <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Interlanguage link|interlanguage link]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> template is not a substitute for the need to have a red link from an existing article for the disambiguating term (per [[MOS:DABRED]]), as well as a blue link to an existing article within the entry (seeper [[MOS:DABBLUE]]).
