This template is used onapproximately 108,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's/sandbox or/testcases subpages, or in your ownuser subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on thetalk page before implementing them.
This template may be used to give information about content imported into the English Wikipedia from a non-English-language Wikipedia. Placing this template on the Talk page of an article isnot sufficient to satisfy licensing requirements. To do so, a note identifying the Wikimedia source (such as aninterlanguage link) and the page name must be providedin an edit summary in the translated page. (Seehere for rationale.)
Usage
On thetalk page of an article (or other page) incorporating a translation, insert the following: {{translated page|SourceLanguageCode|SourcePageTitle|version=123456789|insertversion=987654321|section=name}}
Parameter
Required?
Usage
1(first parameter)
Yes
The language code of the source page, for examplede for German,fr for French, or another frommeta:List of Wikipedias.
2(second parameter)
Yes
The exact name of the source page. (This will become a link, so non-English characters must be retained. Do not transliterate the title.)
3(third parameter)
No
Additional pertinent information, in sentence form. This will be inserted at the end of the standard text.
version
Recommended
The version identifier of the revision of the source page from which the translation was derived. (To find this, select thehistory of the source page, and click on the date that corresponds to that revision. Theresulting page will have aURL that ends with a number, e.g....oldid=123456789. That number is the version identifier.)
insertversion
Recommended
The version identifier of the revision of thetarget page into which the translation was placed. (Follow the same procedure as forversion, but with the target page.)
section
No
If the inserted translation is contained in one section of the target page, insert its name here. (A direct link to that section will be created.)
small
No
This template defaults to a small message box (equivalent tosmall=yes). If you have good reason to use a full-sized talk page banner instead, likeunder WikiProject banners, thensmall=no will generate one.[Note 1]
nocat
No
Set this parameter tonocat=true only when transcluding the template as an example.[Note 2] (For example, it is used on this documentation page to prevent this page from being categorized as a translation.) Further information is available atWikipedia:Category suppression.
partial
No
Set this parameter to any non-blank value when the translation is a partial translation.
In the preceding table, the first and second (unnamed) parameters are required in order to comply with Wikimedia projects' licensing terms (e.g.CC BY-SA). Theversion andinsertversion 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. largestinsertversion, 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 isarchived.
Note that this template is aself reference, and therefore should be placed on talk pages and not used directly in articles.
Unlessnocat=true is set, pages will be automatically categorised intoCategory:Translated pages, or the appropriate sub-category. Mainspace pages where this template has been accidentally placed (instead of on the associated talk page) are categorised intoCategory:Pages with incorrect translated page tag.
Right-to-left character sets
When translating from a language with a right-to-left character set, it may be necessary to place the page name last. Use 2= and, if desired, 3= to re-order parameters.
{{translated page|he|3=It is an example translation from Hebrew.|2=אלי_קנר}}
Multiple notices may also be grouped, and optionally collapsed. The following wikicode:
{{Banner holder |collapsed=yes |text=This page contains text [[WP:TFOLWP|translated]] from other articles |image=Merge-arrow-3.svg |size=36 |1= {{translated page|fr|Dassault Super-Étendard| version=45069858|insertversion=319465919|section=Accidents and incidents}} {{translated page|de|ICE 1| version=45565777|insertversion=210289191}} {{translated page|he|3=It is an example translation from Hebrew.|2=אלי_קנר}}}}
would produce this banner:
This page contains texttranslated from other articles
