Template:Translated page

Documentation icon Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template may be used to give information about content imported into the Simple Wikipedia from a non-English-language Wikipedia. (See Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia for rationale).

Usage

On the talk page of an article (or other page) incorporating a translation, insert the following:
{{translated page|source language code|source page title|version=123456789|insertversion=987654321|section=name}}

class="wikitable "

In the preceding table, the first and second (unnamed) parameters are required in order to comply with Wikimedia projects' licencing terms (e.g. CC-BY-SA). The version and insertversion parameters are (strongly) recommended, because they allow readers to identify the exact source and target revisions, without searching through the revision histories.

This template can be used more than once, if several translations were inserted (from several revisions of one article, several articles and/or several Wikipedias). Group the {{translated page}} templates in chronological order, with the newest (i.e. largest insertversion, when used) on top. Arrange the {{translated page}} boxes with other low-priority items, just before the first topic on the talk page. Even if a section of the talk page talks about the translation, avoid placing {{translated page}} there, because the template should not be moved when the section is archived.

Note that this template is a self-reference, and therefore should be placed on talk pages and not used directly in articles.

Wikipedia:Template namespace has a general introduction to the use of templates.

Examples

The following code would produce the message boxes below, from top to bottom:
{{translated page|fr|Dassault Super-Étendard|version=45069858|insertversion=319465919|section=Accidents and incidents}}
{{translated page|de|ICE 1|version=45565777|insertversion=210289191}}
