Help:Transwiki guide

Transwiki guide is a page aimed at providing information about transwikiing a complicated project or series of template to a remote wiki. Such templates generally involve intricate features of template syntax and parser and are splitted into different core or sub-templates. While it is possible to tell the reader to blindly copy all the templates under the same pagename to their home wiki, a transwiki guide is better to inform which "external template" is transcluded and essential for the final template to be functional.

Readers of transwiki guide are expected to be non-native English speaker, it is preferably to write the guide in simple and plain English. Also some part of the template code may require translation to the transwikier's home language, instruction on which part can be renamed which part shoud not is recommended too.
