Forum:CT Archive/Minor LG amendment for interlanguage update

Now that we've deployed Template:Interlang per the relevant CT, I just wanted to formalize an amendment to the Layout Guide, in two small but rather important ways.

First, the "Interwiki links" section should be moved above the "Categories" section, for technical reasons. Since it uses a template rather than MediaWiki-style language coding, wiki-editing tools will want to put categories below it anyway.

Second, the "Interwiki links" section should be updated to reflect the template code rather than the MediaWiki code:

Old section:

{{Excerpt|

Interwiki links

 * Links to other Star Wars wikis
 * Interwiki links should be listed in alphabetical order and are placed after an article's categories.

Example German interwiki link Example Spanish interwiki link }}

New section (now placed above "Categories"):

{{Excerpt|

Interwiki links

 * Links to Star Wars wikis in other languages
 * Interwiki links should be listed in the Interlang template placed before an article's categories. The "xxFA=" operator will indicate that an article has reached "featured" or equivalent status on its host wiki.

}}

Anyway, this should be a no-brainer, since bots and semi-automated editing tools are pretty much going to make it the standard whether we codify it or not. I just think it's best to get things like this written down somewhere. So here's a simple yay or nay vote, so we can legally chuck it in the LG once it snowballs. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 01:42, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
