Template:Language Category
- Not to be confused with category: Wiki Language Category
Template: Language Category — this category here on WikiIndex is for wiki sites whose subject matter is, or discusses the Language Category language.
See also category: Multilingual – for those wiki sites with a subject matter of more than one language.
- For those wiki sites whose contents are written in their actual language (ie, not English), they should go into their relevant Wiki language sub-category instead. In this instance, wiki sites with contents written in Language Category should be included in category: Wiki Language Category instead. See also category: Wiki Multilingual, for those wiki sites written in more than one language.
For
This language template is used on individual sub-category pages ONLY within category: Language. Its purpose is to render a standard header text for a language category, along with an interwiki link to the relevant language article on the English Wikipedia (En.Wp) wiki site. Usage of this Template: Language Category will auto-include categories as a sub-category within category: Language. This template should not be used anywhere else.
Usage
Simply select (highlight) {{Language Category}} and copy (Ctrl-c or ⌘-c on your keyboard), then paste (Ctrl-v or ⌘-v) at the top of the edit box of the required language category, and save (Ctrl-s or ⌘-s) your edit.
It will also be helpful to add a further one- or two-line brief explanation (two carriage returns after the end of the {{Language Category}} template code) about where, or which countries the specific language is used in. For an example of the Oromo language category, the following was added:
The '''Oromo language''' is an {{Wp|Afroasiatic languages|Afro-Asiatic language}}; spoken by the {{Wp|Oromo people}}, and the neighbouring peoples in {{tag|Ethiopia}} and {{tag|Kenya}}.
- Which displays
The Oromo language is an Afro-Asiatic language; spoken by the Oromo people, and the neighbouring peoples in Ethiopia and Kenya.
