Template:Msg-wikimedia/doc

This is the documentation subpage for the parent Template:Msg-wikimedia page.

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Msg-meta/doc.

Syntax

• {{msg-wikimedia|message-name|optional comment}}
• {{msg-wikimedia|message-name|optional comment|notext=1}}

Parameters

• |1= message name : message ID.
• |2= optional comment : comment text will be shown between parentheses just after the link to the message ID.
• |notext= : set to a non-empty value to indicate that the localised message text should not be shown.
• |exist= disables the checks for whether certain messages exist in English. This parameter might be useful for pages that get added to Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls due to more than 100 referenced pages on the page, as it would restore the checks for pages referenced later. Please only disable such checks for messages that are guaranteed to exist (MediaWiki core). Other way to resolve the tracking category is to remove some identical messages from the page.

Note: If the message ID or the comment uses an equal sign = (which should be avoided by developers submitting messages bundled to import in translatewiki.net as message groups), you need to explicitly name this parameter by prefixing its parameter number followed by an equal sign, before the value.

Examples

• {{Msg-wikimedia|Uls-uls-region-SP}} gives:
  Uls-uls-region-SP ("Special")
• {{Msg-wikimedia|Uls-uls-region-SP|with colon}} gives:
  Uls-uls-region-SP [with colon] ("Special")
• {{Msg-wikimedia|Uls-uls-region-SP|notext=1}} gives:
  Uls-uls-region-SP
• {{Msg-wikimedia|Uls-uls-region-SP|with colon|notext=1}} gives:
  Uls-uls-region-SP [with colon]
