Template:Lang2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Advice: English dialects on Wikipedia: Wikipedia has millions of readers; some use American English, or British English, or International English, or any of numerous other local forms from Australia, Canada, Ireland etc. Because of this, Wikipedia has a policy of respecting articles written in whatever form of English the original author of the article used.

The guidelines are simple. For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, just ask anyone on Wikipedia and they will help you. Thank you.

Template usage notes See documentation. Most test(n) templates take a single optional parameter: the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning. test5 optionally takes two parameters: The first is the duration of the block (with "temporarily blocked" as the default if a specific period is not provided). The second is the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning. Please refer to the index of test templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending. Please remember to substitute the template—use {{subst:Lang2}} rather than {{Lang2}}.
