Template:Expand language/doc
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This template has two purposes: it is primarily used in transclusion from other templates such as {{Expand French}} or {{Expand Spanish}} to mark English Wikipedia articles that can be improved by a translation from a foreign-language Wikipedia. Second, this template may be placed directly on article pages if an article can be improved by translations from multiple foreign-language Wikipedias. Generally, you should use one of the templates in this list whenever possible, rather than this template. If you're not sure if this is the right template to use, it probably isn't.
This template is used on approximately 82,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template doc page is closely interconnected with other templates or pages.
This template may be closely connected to other templates, subtemplates, or modules; or have dependencies on config files, data files, or have dynamic documentation, or otherwise be closely interconnected with other pages. You are encouraged to familiarize yourself with its setup, and with related files, in particular, Expand language/howto, Expand language/howto/newtopic, and about 200 language expand templates. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. |
If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
This template should usually not be placed on article pages directly. Instead, language-specific templates from Category:Expand by language Wikipedia templates are preferred if only one language is linked. |
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Expand language. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
