Template:Expand language/howto
Usage
This template is generated by {{Expand language}}. It is used to mark articles that are better in other Wikipedias than in the English Wikipedia, and thus should be translated into English. This documentation subpage describes the use of all templates generated by {{Expand language}}.
To mark an article, tag it with:
{{Expand Foreign language|Foreign language article's name}}
For example: {{Expand Spanish|Fuerteventura}}
generates
 | You can help expand this article with text translated from the corresponding article in Spanish. Click [show] for important translation instructions.

NOTE: If no parameter is specified for the foreign language article's name, the template defaults to the name of the article to which the template is applied. This works with many articles, like biographies, where the foreign-language article title is the same as the English-language article title. However, if no parameter is specified, and the names are different, this will confuse readers because the link to the foreign-language Wikipedia will point to an article that does not exist.
