Go tswa ko Wikipedia

This template is to be placed on template site of user languages. It is written as (example for English):

{{languages|English|en}}

You write only English (not language: the template writes that by itself).

Language void

[Fetola Motswedi]

For most languages, saying "language" after it is necessary to direct it straight to the language's mainspace page, but sometimes saying "language" directs it to a red link. To stop this problem put:

{{languages|English|en|langvoid=}}

Different category

[Fetola Motswedi]

This template automatically puts the template in its User template category, to redirect to a different User templates category do this, using the Scottish language as an example:

{{languages|Scottish English|en-sco|catalt=en}}

Category sections

[Fetola Motswedi]

By default the template categories templates like:

1
Template:User en-1

2
Template:User en-2

And so on, but if you wanted to replace these with different abbreviations such as:

c
Template:User en-ca-1
Template:User en-ca-2

e
Template:User en-1
Template:User en-2

Add |sections= with the abbreviated code, such as "ca" or "en", etc. Do not place the "-", at the end of "sections" as was done previously, this will screw up the chronological order.

Category void

[Fetola Motswedi]

Some templates such as the blank series and other fictional languages do not deserve to have their own category, to void the category all together do this:

{{languages|Spoken|blank|catvoid=}}

If all of these functions were used on one template they would look like this:

{{languages|English|en|langvoid=|catvoid=|catalt=en|sections=us|#=N}}

Please note catalt, sections and # cannot exist if catvoid exists.
