সাঁচ:Wikipedia languages/core

সাঁচ নথিকৰণ

This is the /core template for {{Wikipedia languages}}, which is the template for the "Wikipedia languages" section on the main page.

The template is used to ensure a consistent formatting of the links, which hasn't always been the case (for some time, the Japanese and Chinese links were within {{Lang}}, which categorized the main page within শ্ৰেণী:Articles containing Japanese language text and শ্ৰেণী:Articles containing Chinese language text.

Technical part

The interwiki links of this template are within the emplate {{Sec link auto}}, which will make the link go to the secure server if the user is there and otherwise returns a usual interwiki link. The third text parameter of this template shows a mouseover, which is the English language name of the language and its IS0 639 code within brackets. To determine the English name, it calls {{Language}}. Furthermore, there are "lang" and "xml:lang" within the text so that browsers recognize it's a non-English text and treat it properly. The text of the link then uses the parser function {{#language:}}, which displays the language's native name as it's used by MediaWiki, e.g. within the interwiki links. This is done to ensure consistency with the interwiki links in the sidebar.
