Language:	English

This template uses Module:Languages, with data stored in Module:Languages/headers. Please see wikipedia:Wikipedia:Lua and mw:Extension:Scribunto to learn more.

Syntax

{{Languages|PageName|nocat=1}}

• PageName (optional) - the name of the page to display language links for. If omitted then the English version of the current page is used. This parameter can normally be omitted, as it is only required if you want to link to a page other than the one you place the template on, which is very uncommon. If this parameter is used on a sub-page make sure you supply the root name, not the full page name (e.g. on Main Page/fr you would need to use {{Languages|Main Page}} and not {{Languages|Main Page/fr}}).
• nocat=1 (optional) - prevents the page that is using this template from being added to Category:Languages pages.

Usage

The template should only be placed on pages that exist in more than one language, and it should be placed in the same location on each translation of the page.

The English version of a page is always the main version, with all other languages as sub-pages, named using the appropriate language code (see below).

For example, on the Main Page you would include the text {{Languages}}, both on Main Page itself, and on each of its language sub-pages. The template automatically creates links to any language sub-pages that exist, e.g. Main Page/ja, Main Page/fr, and ignores non-existant languages.
