HALT!
Woah there! I understand and appreciate that you want to bring better translation features to the wiki, but you shouldn't mass copy-paste templates from Wikipedia/other wikis to take on this task, especially with their intricate and complicated code. Please stick to the methods and conventions of translations as discussed in the Community Portal and respective translation project pages. Cheers, --Gnu32 22:16, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, but the lang and iflang template is useful to translate the templates in other languages easily. --Ryo 22:26, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The thing about translations on this wiki is that the convention used (ie. Air/es with /es at the end) is only temporary. The idea is that if a translation project gains enough contributions and willing editors, then all these temporary pages will be moved to a whole seperate subdomain and those pages will be linked to using MediaWiki's standard interwiki linking system. It seems like a complicated system but it's the best compromise that could be found so far.


 * As for these templates themselves, it seems like they were being copied from another wiki. They contained a lot of messy code and were dependent on other templates with non-standard names and other junk elements like documentation. While it would have been possible to clean these off, in this case it would be better to perhaps plan such a big template system first in your userspace and perhaps with discussion in the community portal. I feel however it's best to keep to the current system of translation. You are free to also join in the discussion regarding this. Hope this has been helpful! --Gnu32 22:35, 16 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I only just noticed the moves you did on Air/es and Sand/es too. Again, this doesn't follow convention so I had to revert these. Sorry for the inconvenience. --Gnu32 00:39, 17 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, but with this method the wiki in others languages are poor >.< --Ryo 13:49, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
