I was wondering if we had a standard procedure to localise templates?  I would like to have French translations for {{tl|WIP}}, {{tl|note}}, {{tl|warning}}, and maybe {{tl|BeingTranslated}} for the [[Fr/FGAddon]] article.  I found this MediaWiki article:  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template_localisation, however it is not very informative.

:: Awesome, the {{tl|WIP}} translation as seen on [[Fr/FGAddon]] works beautifully :)  I hope I don't break things!  Unfortunately I cannot edit and translate {{tl|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.

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).

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 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: mw: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.

Parts of the discussion was moved to FlightGear wiki:Village pump#Template translations (perm), as it begun to refer to more than just Help:Templates.
