Template:Int/doc

From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Shows a MediaWiki message in the same language of the page (identified by the subpage name) within a translated page, or the language specified using the |lang= parameter; if the resource in the specified language does not exist (translation missing), it will look for a single fallback in English or with the default UI language. Otherwise it will return a default string.

Not to be confused with {{int:XXX}}, which always shows the message in the language chosen by the user in their preferences.

Usage

{{int |lang= |1= }}

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.


Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.
