Revision as of 15:54, 9 October 2015
This page should be about how to use and write templates
I'd like to see this page be changed to what it tells, how to use a template, how to make one. Perhaps include (part of the) the list from Special:UncategorizedTemplates and the use of them.
Current content can be dropped, no probs.

- Agreed. Current content should be moved to some kind of a list or gallery with templates, say Help:Template gallery, while this page should be completely rewritten to reflect using, writing and documenting templates (though maybe only on a lower difficulty level and refer to Mediawiki help pages for the rest).
- —Johan G (Talk | contribs) 12:23, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
- I have now written Help:List of messagebox templates and have moved those templates to that page (and added a lot more of them there). They could need a bit of standardisation though, but that is another story.

- Done I have now more or less completely rewritten the page (diff). It is now a help page proper, though there could still be more done.

Template localisation
I was wondering if we had a standard procedure to localise templates? I would like to have French translations for {{WIP}}, {{note}}, {{warning}}, and maybe {{BeingTranslated}} for the Fr/FGAddon article. I found this MediaWiki article: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template_localisation, however it is not very informative. —Bugman (talk) 06:35, 8 October 2015 (EDT)
- See {{LangSwitch}}. For examples: {{News}}, {{GitStatus:open}}, {{Did you know}}...
- Gijs (talk) 07:40, 8 October 2015 (EDT)
- See also the section #Translating templates on the help page. ;-)
- I just made a few changes to make it more comprehensive.

- Awesome, the {{WIP}} translation as seen on Fr/FGAddon works beautifully :) I hope I don't break things! Unfortunately I cannot edit and translate {{Note}}. It says: "You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason: This page has been protected from editing because it is included in the following page, which is protected with the "cascading" option turned on: FlightGear Newsletter April 2015". Is there a way to unlock it? For French it doesn't need changing, but translations are needed for other languages.
- Bugman (talk) 08:25, 8 October 2015 (EDT)
- I've now also translated the {{tip}} template into French and German. Are there any more from the {{tip}}, {{note}}, {{caution}}, {{warning}}, {{BeingTranslated}} series? I'd like to add an example section in Help:Templates to help reveal the colourful existence of this useful set of related templates.
- Bugman (talk) 06:40, 9 October 2015 (EDT)
- Something like:
This article is currently being translated. |
Tip If you do it this way, your life will be easier. |
Note Do not forget to run this command. |
Caution If you run this command incorrectly, your harddrive will be erased. |
Warning Do not delete all FGAddon aircraft. |
- There is a gallery with templates, Help:Gallery of messagebox templates, showing examples of (hopefully) all the messagebox templates. See also the note on its discussion page. I guess the galleries can be advertised more. ;-)
- Regarding the very varying style of all of them, I was at one time working on improving that, see User:Johan G/Messagebox style sandbox, but I somehow got discouraged and/or distracted...
