Module:Language/doc

This is the documentation page for Module:Language

This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected.

Usage

This module is inspired by the templates {{m}} and {{l}} and their associated modules on Wiktionary. It has a Wiktionary link function that links to the correct section of the Wiktionary entry, and applies correct language formatting and italics. The language formatting function does most of what {{lang}} does, as well as applying appropriate italicization.

It should eventually be able to generate the text in numerous {{lang-xx}} templates, such as {{lang-fr}}. (Or even more ambitious, it could generate automatic transliteration and IPA for some languages, to be used in templates like {{lang-rus}}.)
