Guidelines
Article titles
Non-English article titles should be of the form Title in English (Language) where "Language" is the localized spelling of said language. For example: Beginners' Guide (Français). English titles should not include a language tag. See #Languages for a list of languages and expected localized spellings.
Rationale:
- English titles facilitate administration; all admins and sysops understand English, but may not be bilingual. When browsing Special:RecentChanges and other special pages, admins need to know what is being edited without resorting to external translation programs.
- Standardized article titles simplify inter-language linking and allow for the creation of internationalization templates such as Template:i18n.
Localized redirects
Localized titles can and should be created, but must redirect to the English-named article as described above. Redirect titles need not include language tags. For example: Manuel du débutant redirets to Beginners' Guide (Français).
Rationale:
- Localized titles improve navigability for international readers. Both the internal search feature and external search engines can utilize such redirects.
- Useful redirects facilitate internal linking.
Inter-language links
Template:i18n should be included in every article to display a list of available translations by including the following wiki text at the beginning of the article:
{{i18n|Title in English}}
See Template:i18n for detailed usage instructions.
Rationale:
- Maintaining separate inter-language links for each translation is unrealistic and error-prone. Template:i18n makes use of standardized article titles described above to generate a complete and consistent list across translations.
- Including inter-language links at the beginning of an article allows international readers to promptly determine whether content is available in their language, and similarly allows translators to ascertain whether an article requires translation.
Languages
The following table lists all languages encountered on the wiki along with related links.
