Template:Languages/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Usage

[edit] General

This template is to be placed on template site of user languages. It is written as (example for English):

{{languages|English|en}}

You write only English (not language: the template writes that by itself).

[edit] Language void

For most languages, saying "language" after it is necessary to direct it straight to the language's mainspace page, but sometimes saying "language" directs it to a red link. To stop this problem put:

{{languages|English|en|langvoid=}}

[edit] Level Six

Only En and template templates such as the blank series are allowed to use the sixth level of language proficiency. To do this:

{{languages|English|en|level=6}}

[edit] Different Category

This template automatically puts the template in its User template category, to redirect to a different User templates category do this, using the Scottish language as an example:

{{languages|Scottish English|en-sco|catalt=en}}

[edit] Category sections

By default the template categories templates like:

1
Template:User en-1

2
Template:User en-2

And so on, but if you wanted to replace these with different abbreviations such as:

e
Template:User en-1
Template:User en-2

c
Template:User en-ca-1
Template:User en-ca-2

Replace {{{sections}}} with "(abb.)" Do not place the "-", at the end of "sections" as was done previously, this will screw up the chronological order.

[edit] Category Void

Some templates such as the blank series and other fictional languages do not deserve to have their own category, to void the category all together do this:

{{languages|Spoken|blank|catvoid=}}

[edit] Format

If all of these functions were used on one template they would look like this:

{{languages|English|en|langvoid=|level=6|catvoid=|catalt=en|sections=en-|#=N}}

Please note catalt, sections and # cannot exist if catvoid exists.
