Templates using LangSwitch

Some templates have translations embedded in using Template:LangSwitch, they should probably be listed somewhere or converted to using the translation extension. Some are included in the category Translatable templates using LangSwitch, which has not been created yet.

This is, at time of writing, a complete list of the templates concerned:

Object pages

I think it would be sensible to begin by looking at Special:ListObjectsByType/Z4, since every object has a type. On that page you can see all the types listed in the current language (if they have been translated) and also navigate to a list of objects with any given type.

Which namespace

Does this page really belong in the Help namespace? It's not really a manual about how to do things. It should probably be in the Wikifunctions namespace. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 17:49, 12 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Amire80: It's a page fundamentally about how the software works (and doesn't), which is what I thought the Help namespace is for. But the line between "what you can do" and "what you should do" (which is more the purpose for the project namespace) is of course a bit blurry.
