(british english shouldn't be seperate from american english, it'll be a massive annoyance to constantly update one to match the other for an extremely small difference. this also follows other wikis standards that have been in place for decades.) |

Don't forget to purge the contents of the base page upon creating or editing this subpage.
Replacement for {{Lang}}.
The template will look for translation subpages and load one of them according to the interface language. The template will load the English version and display a message if the translation subpage does not exist. The template will only display a message if there are not any translations and the English version does not exist.
Creating a new page
Just create an empty page, put a {{MultiPage}} on it, click on the translation button ( 
) in the upper right corner and select the primary language. After making a choice, {{MultiPage}} will redirect you to edit the language subpage on which you will need to place your text and template {{Language subpage}}.
Usage on existing pages
Before using it on an existing page, you should make sure that you have done the following steps:
- Move the English content of the My Cute Article page to its language subpage My Cute Article/en Important:Do not move associated talk page, however if there are talk pages on any languages other than English, you can move them.
- Move the contents of the translated My Cute Article page to its language subpage My Cute Article/<language code> (for example, My Cute Article:zh-cn will become an My Cute Article/zh);
- Move the English categories to the base (main) page, aka the one with {{MultiPage}} (for example, to the My Cute Article page);
- Move the shared or international templates to the base page;
- Remove language suffixes (
- pt-br, |suf=:de) from all language subpages. They are deprecated and no longer needed.
- Remove language categories (for example, [[Category:My Cute Category:ru]]) from all language subpages. They are deprecated and no longer needed.
- Place
{{Language subpage}}at the top of the language subpages. - If the article pertains to an entity, move the
{{Entity}}template to the root page. The Entity template is automatically translated.
After the above steps, place {{MultiPage}} on the base page above the categories and enjoy what you see.
