How to translate a template subpage (documentation)

Hello, I tried to translate the documentation of Template:Claim but withtout any success. Could you tell me how to proceed? Pamputt (talk) 08:13, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

@Pamputt: What was the point that made you think you hadn't succeeded? Matěj Suchánek (talk) 20:30, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
@Matěj Suchánek: the languages choice was not displayed in the main page: Template:Claim (it was only displayed within the doc page). So I thought that this was not the way to do. Pamputt (talk) 20:57, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
That's okay, the languages table is relative to the page you are viewing (so you shouldn't see it anyway). Only marking for translation is not enough here. As there are no translatable /doc subpages yet, there are two possible ways to enforce it: either by splitting the real text into a /doc/text subpage (the usual way), or by making transluding it dynamic directly in the main template. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 05:55, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation. Do you have an example for the first solution (/doc/text subpage)? Like that I would be able to reproduce it   Pamputt (talk) 15:44, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
There are not any with "/doc" yet. You can take a look on the most recently converted Template:Historical + Template:Historical/text and alter it with "/doc". Matěj Suchánek (talk) 16:44, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
Can other translation admins comment on Template talk:Property documentation last topic ? this is related. Doc on properties is on talk pages so it seems we can't translate them with this kind of trick. author  TomT0m / talk page 17:09, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
Why couldn't that be on a subpage of the property? Sorry for not noticing that earlier, I'm no longer maintaining the template. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 18:32, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
It's not possible. We can't (or I could not) create subpages of a property. author  TomT0m / talk page 18:47, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
But thinking about it, there is some consistency in using the help namespace for instructions. Way more than using a talk page actually. author  TomT0m / talk page 18:49, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

sitelink of success (Q7632586) to enwiki

Hello mr or mrs,

I think that Luck is the wrong sitelink to this. Due to doubleuse I can not change it to success.

Thank you :)  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wikingonroughsee (talk • contribs) at 17. 5. 2016, 22:51‎ (UTC).

  Not done Sitelink "Success" should stay where it is because it is a Wikimedia disambiguation page (Q4167410). Matěj Suchánek (talk) 14:21, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I started to translate this RfC. Howerver, I think there is a problem with my way to do. Indeed, the English version will evolve while other versions are frozen. I mean that people votes on the English page do not appear on the page in other languages. What is the more elegant way to translate stable content of a page without freezing the content of the page when people add comments? Pamputt (talk) 22:24, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

{{LangSwitch}}, {{TranslateThis}}. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 06:13, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
Indeed, thank you. Pamputt (talk) 07:59, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Other question, it seems that there exists a bug on Wikidata:Requests for comment/Standards for property proposal discussions. Indeed, I removed all the « translate » tag within the page to replace them by « LangSwitch » and I still see on the top of the page the message saying the the page as been modified since the last time it has been marked for translation. If I click on « , I arrive on an error page. Is it a known problem or should it be reported on Phabricator? Pamputt (talk) 08:42, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Fixed, there was still one <translate> leftover and the page had to unmarked via Special:PageTranslation. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 08:46, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
Ah thanks I did not know for Special:PageTranslation. Pamputt (talk) 11:14, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
