This page is meant to help you with the use of templates on the wiki.
Editing or creating templates
Editing a template is almost as easy as editing a normal wiki page. Lets say, you want to edit a template with the name "what you always wanted to know". To do so open "wiki.flightgear.org/Template:what_you_always_wanted_to_know" (mind the underscores, that replace the spaces!). If you created a new template, you can embed it in any wiki article from now on by writing: {{what you always wanted to know}} (insert the template name here).
Translating templates
Translating templates is different from translating normal articles. All translations are written within one and the same template. To do that one can use the {{LangSwitch}} template.
{{LangSwitch |en=English text |de=<German text> |fr=<French text> ...}}
It uses the two letter language code present in all but the English page titles. If none of the languages that have been translated to is found, a template have not yet been translated to that language and the English text will be used instead, provided it is available.
