I reverted the addition of this parameter. This is not because I disagree with its inclusion. Rather, it appeared not to work right in certain cases. Specifically, it caused problems with [[Hitchwiki]] and [[Marvel Universe]]. I could not ascertain why the template failed in those instances, but not in others. Oddly, even now that I've reverted the template, these articles are still messed up. I'm not sure if my browser is failing to refresh the page, even though I'm forcing it to do so. Or, perhaps changes to the template take a while to broadcast, as nonsensical as that sounds. In any event, I thought it would be better to revert the changes until the kinks are worked out. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 16:26, 14 October 2008 (EDT) | I reverted the addition of this parameter.

It would probably be better to support putting multiple languages, much as MediaWiki.org allows multiple hooks to be specified in its [[mw:Template:Extension/doc#Usage]].

:Is that a specific MW extension that needs to be installed? According to [[Special:Version|this]], I can't find anything similar in the list. I'm not sure I'd support this . . . identical wikis of different languages (ie, en.wikipedia.org, it.wikipedia.org, ru.wikipedia.org) will all have their own separate article listing here on WikiIndex, with their 'mother' category or article using the {{template| | :Is that a specific MW extension that needs to be installed?

For those genuinely single wikis which are multilingual (such as this [[WikiIndex]]), I think the current infobox lead language of 'Multilingual', followed by individual languages listed by tagging in prose or separate 'categories' at the bottom of the edit box will suffice. However, I remain open to this, and wait others opinions too. [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 04:40, 20 September 2012 (PDT) | ||
