Template:TSwitch
{{{1}}}/en
This template is used to return the name of translatable templates in the current user interface language. Templates internationalized using per-language pages on Commons use language code subpages like “Template:template/langcode” by convention (e.g. Template:Foo’s German translation is Template:Foo/de). This template returns the title of the translation in user language if that exists, and the wiki default language (English) otherwise.
Usage
{{TSwitch |1= }}
Template parameters
- TemplateData
TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.
Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either useTemplateData=1 or useTemplateData=only on the /doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. <nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.
Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw <templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.
