This template provides a uniform header for Wikidata discussion boards (project chat, requests for deletions etc.).

Template parameters[Edit template data]

This template prefers block formatting of parameters.

Wikidata project chat
Contentrequired
descriptiondescription

Description of the discussion board: what is it for, board-specific rules, other similar discussion boards etc.

Contentrequired

Code of the language the box content is written in. Specifying the language makes possible for screen readers and other assistive software to handle it correctly (e.g. read out in the right language).

Default

Example
fr
Linesuggested
hide translate linkhidetranslate

Hide the translate link even if the translations page is specified. Simply skipping the “translations” parameter has the same affect, so this parameter doesn’t make much sense.

Linedeprecated
translations pagetranslations

Full name of the translatable header page if one exists (usually a /Header/text subpage of the discussion board).

Example
Wikidata:Requests for deletions/Header/text
Page nameoptional
translate link texttranslate-caption

Link text of the translation link. It is suggested to use this and make it translatable, as the default text is English-only.

Default
Translate this header box!
