Documentation Add Topic/Reply

Default Language

I really like the language bar with the flags of all available docs at the top right, but what I really don't like is that the doc language defaults to the client's language even though a doc in the client's language does not exist. It even becomes ridiculous when the page uses {{doc|nolang=1}}, such that you get a non-existent doc and you don't even get the languages bar to switch to english. Please fix?

Fixed. Actually, I was just thinking about doing this. The thing is, I'm currently working on another template that will probably get rid of 90% of the mess with languages, both in templates and documentation. If everything works, the {{{suf}}} parameter will no longer be needed anywhere. And I also removed the nolang parameter. I don't even remember why I added it.

There is a problem that the template can't load the documentation of default language when the translations don't exist and using the {{{content}}} parameter. Please add support for the parameter.

The buttons and message box can not work correctly

There is a problem in the template that when your language is English, the Creating button on the right top and an empty message box before the documentation will be displayed whether the documentation exists.

DaKang233 23:55, 21 February 2023 (UTC+8)

Unless move the English documentation to …/doc/en.

DaKang233 0:17, 22 February 2023 (UTC+8)

The problem has solved by adding new parameter, {{{default-none}}} to {{uselang}}.

Max_34 20:28, 21 February 2023 (UTC+4)

It was worth just rolling back the change from {{uilang}} to {{uselang}}. In any case, this is not important, since it is planned to switch from this template to the original template {{documentation}}. Everything will work differently in it, so there will be no need for the {{{default-none}}} parameter in {{uselang}}.

Any changes in plans?

DaKang233 2:18, 9 April 2023 (UTC+8)

The new design of {{Doc}} looks good. But it will take some time to make these changes.

Bug:Extra slash "/" on "Template:(Page)/doc/" does not exist.

See image below.

Beside, docs page that are created with "/doc/" instead of "/doc", example: Template:YouTube/doc/ instead of Template:YouTube/doc would cause the {{Doc/subpage}} (documentation subpage) notice to not show up at all, unless it is "doc", without slash after it.

DaKang233 1:24, 30 August 2023 (UTC+8)

That's related to its working principle. {{Doc/subpage}} will try to check if the {{SUBPAGENAME}} is doc, or language suffixes (en, eo, de, ...). about, preload are also valid value.

• If {{SUBPAGENAME}} is valid value, {{Doc/subpage}} will display the notice.
• If it is not, the template will display nothing.

As for the message box with a slash after the link, that may be a bug. You can use the button "Create" to the right top to create page.

DaKang233 2:22, 30 August 2023 (UTC+8)

The bug should be fixed now. I have changed the parameter {{{pref}}} of {{Uselang}}.

leonidakarlach 18:36, 30 August 2023 (UTC+7)

Yea it's looking good now.
