Template talk:Language

From YPPedia
  • Start off with {{Language-
  • Then add the number of language templates you want to display, followed by |
    • e.g. {{Language-3| for three languages
  • Next add one of the following codes for each language you speak, separated by |, where xx is the YPPedia code for the language:
    • xx-1 for basic command (the ability to understand the language well enough to use an article as a source for writings in one's own language and to ask or answer simple questions)
    • xx-2 ability to modify articles and to participate in discussions
    • xx-3 for advanced or fluent understanding (the ability to write articles in this language without difficulties, minor errors may occur)
    • xx-4 if you have a grasp of the language comparable to a native speaker, but are not a native speaker
    • xx if you're a native speaker
  • Then finish by adding closing braces: }}

So, for example, {{Language-2|en|de-1}} would indicate a native speaker of English with basic knowledge of German. {{Language-4|zh|en-3|fr-2|es-1}} would indicate a native speaker of Chinese with an advanced knowledge of English, an intermediate knowledge of French, and a basic knowledge of Spanish.
