So for categories, while [[:Category:Modding/fr]] should indeed exist and have the contents of [[:Category:Modding:fr]], no pages should actually be IN the category (though they can stay linked in the text contents), but rather, the base page should be in [[:Category:Modding]]. I personally would fix the pages currently in the category to use Multipage, then move the category.
As for categories, the pages in the category (not specifically the ones in the content of the page, but rather what follows "{{int:category-article-count}}") should be converted to MultiPage, so that the category should contain no pages. After that, just do what you would do for regular pages.

lang and multipage

(using Template:Message) Anybody know how to transition pages using {{lang}} to {{multipage}}? The amount of pages (especially quite important ones) using lang has really hampered my translating efforts. Are you supposed to move all the translated pages like Category:Modding:fr to Category:Modding/fr individually and mark all the old pages with deletion. I know there's some info on the multipage documentation page, but it's a bit unclear and I'd really rather not create some big mess. --Wisdurm (talk) 20:15, 23 Dec 2023 (UTC)


(using Template:Message) Here's everything you need to do for normal pages (templates are handled seperately) 1. Move the English page to [page name]/en

2. For all other languages, move them to be subpages of the base page (e.g. from Main Page:es to Main Page/es).

3. Assuming no pages link to the original language page, mark it for deletion.

4. Replace all instances of {{lang}} on the subpages with {{langsp}}, and if the page should have a different title in said language, instead use {{langsp|title=[translation]}}.

5. Remove any categories the subpages are in.

6. Then, add {{MultiPage}} to the base page and place categories there as well.

7. If {{this is a}} was on the English page, move it to the base page. It'll automatically translate based on the language.


So, if Main Page:es contained this:

{{lang|title=Display Title}} Page Contents [[Category:1]]

then Main Page/es should contain this (note the omission of the category):

{{langsp|title=Display Title}} Page Contents

As for categories, the pages in the category (not specifically the ones in the content of the page, but rather what follows "The following $1 pages are in this category, out of $2 total.") should be converted to MultiPage, so that the category should contain no pages. After that, just do what you would do for regular pages. --Pee (talk) 21:09, 23 Dec 2023 (UTC)
