Franco-Provencal?

What's up with the link to Franco-Provencal? Was that supposed to be a parameter linking to the actual language used by the transcluding page, or is it an artifact of an older version of this page? Ibadibam (talk) 18:56, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, figured it out. Ibadibam (talk) 19:00, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's an error: in English it's Piedmontese, not "Piemontese"! 84.221.126.157 (talk) 21:34, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Neither "Piemontese" nor "Piedmontese" appears in this template. This message is probably misplaced, likely from a page that uses this template. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 22:23, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Piemontese is apparently synonymous with Piedmontese; this according to the ISO 639-3 custodian, Ethnologue, and Glottolog. {{lang-pms}} uses Piemontese, the name which it gets from the IANA language-subtag-registry file. If you wish to use this template and have it render Piedmontese use the |label= parameter:

{{langx|pms|place-holder text|label=[[Piedmontese language|Piedmontese]]}} → {{langx|pms|place-holder text|label=[[Piedmontese language|Piedmontese]]}}

The template in question is probably {{Lang-pms}}. I have initiated a discussion at Template talk:Lang-pms#Piemontese or Piedmontese?. Ibadibam (talk) 23:36, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please in the name of God delete this tamplate lang-mo, because it is widely used in russian wikipedia for propagandistic purposes, in Moldova the only official language is Romanian and "Moldovan language" just don't exist and never did, please help clean wiki from propaganda!

Appearance of "lit."

The appearance of "lit." in this template should probably be harmonised with the appearance of Template:Literal translation. I would lean towards sticking with the default appearance of the other template, without the hyperlink, but I don't feel strongly one way or the other. I don't know enough about templates yet to make the change myself, otherwise I would, so I'm leaving this message here.

background: I just noticed this discrepancy while looking up examples of "lit." in English wikipedia to make sure I'm following the style convention - turns out - there is no consistency!

this template: [1]

The Italian Navy (Italian: Marina Militare, lit. 'Military Navy'; abbreviated as MM) is the navy of the Italian Republic

the other one: [2][3]

The unification of Italy (Italian: Unità d'Italia [uniˈta ddiˈtaːlja]), also known as the Risorgimento (/rɪˌsɔːrdʒɪˈmɛntoʊ/, Italian: [risordʒiˈmento]; lit. 'Resurgence')

Capellini (Italian: [kapelˈliːni]; lit. 'little hairs') is a thin variety of Italian pasta, with a diameter ranging from 0.85 to 0.92 mm (0.033 to 0.036 in).

no template: [4][5]

Sant'Angelo (Italian lit. 'holy angel') is an Italian name for the Archangel Michael.

The Testa del Leone (3,715 m; Italian, lit. "lion head") is a mountain of the Pennine Alps,

This isn't exactly urgent, but I figured it's worth a mention.

How's this used?

@Trappist the monk: Apologies for the confusion, but how then is a template which is a redirect to a documentation subpage used? I can't see any transclusions of {{Lang-x}} and the documentation doesn't distinguish it from {{Langx}} at all. Thanks, — Hex • talk 15:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When we still had lots of {{lang-??}} templates, {{lang-x/doc}} provided consistent documentation for all of them; typically like this:

{{Documentation|Template:Lang-x/doc}}

No doubt that was sometimes written:

{{Documentation|Template:Lang-x}}

{{lang-x}} has been a redirect for a dozen years.

There are still two templates that use {{lang-x/doc}}; one of those shouldn't. I, and likely others, have been too lazy to remedy that.

Because {{lang-x/doc}} is a template documentation template, your addition of the hat note made it look like those two templates still using {{lang-x/doc}} are no longer used. That is not true. So I reverted your edit.

Did I answer your question?

Yes, thanks for the clarification! And happy new year. — Hex • talk 12:20, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
