Template:Convert/Transwiki guide

The following need to be copied to any wiki using {{convert}}. Please use an edit summary like the text shown so the history will show where each page came from.

• Template:Convert copy from [[:en:Template:Convert]]
• Module:Convert copy from [[:en:Module:Convert]]
• Module:Convert/data copy from [[:en:Module:Convert/data]]
• Module:Convert/text copy from [[:en:Module:Convert/text]]

If your wiki is currently using an old convert template, the new template should be copied to Template:Convert/sandbox. When satisfied that the sandbox convert template is performing correctly, it can be used to replace Template:Convert.

Other pages may be needed, but they can be copied after the modules have been updated for use at your wiki.

There is currently no guide for how to adapt the modules for use at another wiki. Please ask for assistance at Module talk:Convert. That would be desirable to give better and easier results, and it would assist the maintainers of the module to identify any issues that arise and which should be fixed here.

• bn:Template:Convert • Bengali Wikipedia, June 2013
