Template:Translated page/doc

This template may be used to give information about content imported into the English Wikipedia from a non-English-language Wikipedia. (See here for rationale.)

Usage
On the talk page of an article (or other page) incorporating a translation, insert the following:

In the preceding table, the first and second (unnamed) parameters are required in order to comply with Wikimedia projects' licencing terms (e.g. CC-BY-SA). The  and   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 templates in chronological order, with the newest (i.e. largest , when used) on top. Arrange the 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 there, because the template should not be moved when the section is archived.

Note that this template is a self reference, and therefore should be placed on talk pages and not used directly in articles.

Template namespace has a general introduction to the use of templates.

Unless  is set, pages will be automatically categorised into Category:Translated pages, or the appropriate sub-category. Pages which use this template incorrectly are categorised into Category:Pages with incorrect translated page tag.
