Template:Lang-de is permanently
protected from editing because it is a
heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by
consensus, editors may use {{
edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's
documentation to add usage notes or
categories.
Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. This template does not have a testcases subpage. You can create the testcases subpage here. |
The suggested replacement is so long that I don't think anyone is going to use it and people will use just " German: soundso" instead, requiring the link to be disambiguated and without the nifty CSS classes that {{ lang}} adds. Is there at least a redirect to {{ LangWithName}} or whatever its name is that can be used instead? Kusma (討論) 20:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

The protected code of Template:Lang-de contains 1 category and 5 interwiki links. I think these ought to be placed at the bottom of Template:Lang-de/doc. -- Michael Bednarek ( talk) 01:59, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
This template automatically italicizes the foreign text. In most English sources italics are not used for place names, theatre names, etc, even when these are given in the original language. There should be a parameter that can be used to turn the italics off. -- Robert.Allen ( talk) 21:56, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
{{Lang-de|{{Noitalic|Bayerische Staatsoper}}|links=no}}
" gives "German: Bayerische Staatsoper". Alternatively, the core template {{
Language with name}} could be called instead: "{{Language with name|de|German|Bayerische Staatsoper|links=no}}
" gives the same:"German: Bayerische Staatsoper". But I agree that a proper parameter, e.g. |noitalic=
, would be preferrable. --

|links=no
, my preferred use. I see no need for such a link in "
German: Bayerische Staatsoper" and consider it as
WP:OVERLINK; others may see it differently. --

{{
lang-de|Bavarian State Opera}}
", giving "
German: Bavarian State Opera" is intended to be used the first time that language is used in the article. All this seems a bit like overkill to me. My computer's (Apple OS 10.8) screen reader ignores the language tags and mispronounces the terms in any case. But perhaps advanced screen readers take advantage of them. BTW, thanks for adding the info about
Template:Noitalics to the documentation. Update: And thanks for all the other help. I'm going to try to use these templates a bit more often. --

I think we need a merger, or an addition of Austrian German in this template. How do you add "de-AT" into this template? -- George Ho ( talk) 18:12, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Update: I used the sandbox, and managed to
add variety. However, it probably still needs a little work. I could add
Standard German
,
Swiss German
, and other examples of German varieties. --

{{lang|xx|YY}}
templates with unclear rationales, and is making a case at
WT:NOT against templates generally as some form of "technocracy". This is
WP:POINTy nonsense. There's no real problem with adding |variety=
to such templates so that more specific templates are not mandatory to get the job done, but the ability to use a more complicated syntax of this template is not a deletion/merge rationale for simpler use of more specific templates. This is a "six of one, half-dozen of the other" matter, and a "solution" to a non-existent problem. —

22:30, 18 August 2014 (UTC){{lang-xx}}
templates supporting a |variety=
parameter (other than "variety" is a Wikipedianism and not a linguistic term); I support the idea, if it's done very carefully, with a switch
test. Even if it's done right, it's still not a rationale for deleting templates than anyone familiar with language codes will expect to exist. If we don't care about the parser overhead, the {{lang-xx-YY}}
versions can be replaced with calls to {{lang-xx|variety=YY}}
, but only after the {{lang-xx}}
has been set up to support |variety=
and is doing so correctly for any plausible variety. This is a self-correcting issue with separate templates for varieties, because they'll redlink if they don't exist; by contrast, using {{
lang-en}}
will produce a seamless template result but no useful metadata. The main reason we have these separate templates is to force the generation of valid metadata, because what comes out of the template has to be valid language code; we cannot trust editors to input whatever they think a code is or should be into such a template, because they will frequently guess wrong. Note also that {{
lang-en}} is essentially a shell, a placeholder for technical reasons, so this proposition won't work at all for migrating {{
lang-en-GB}}, etc., to {{lang-en}}
; the latter does not use {{
Language with name}}, so it does not generate any language metadata at all (on en.wiki). Those must therefore remain separate templates, or {{lang-en}}
has to get very complicated, to use completely different code depending on whether it has a |variety=
specified or not, which defeats the purpose of all this "let's simply thing" stuff. Which really hasn't been simplifying anything but causing mess and heat. —

I edited Template:Lang-de/doc to include the 'lit' parameter but this is not showing up in the transclusion in Template:Lang-de. I'm guessing it needs an admin edit because of <noinclude>, if so perhaps someone could do that. Thanks Mcewan ( talk) 13:14, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
Please note that this edit violates MOS:Ety: "Wikipedia prefers italics for phrases in other languages and for isolated foreign words that do not yet have everyday use in non-specialized English." See also, e.g., Template:Lang-fr. Please revert it. -- Omnipaedista ( talk) 18:21, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
Please restore the italics (if italics are preferred by MOS:Ety, then italics should be the default). Removing the italics has created inconsistent formatting in the ledes of many articles (e.g., Fusine in Valromana, Malborghetto Valbruna, etc.). Doremo ( talk) 09:48, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
I fully support the unconditional and urgent reapplication of the italics, since each other language does so, it is the standard (of the base template:lang) – and the eventual inconsitency makes no sense at all. There were already happening some idiotic consequences: See the hundreds of recent changes by User:Doremo, see also: User talk:Doremo#italics.3F.3F!!! -- ZH8000 ( talk) 19:03, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
Seems there's an error when invoking lang-de. See Wandering Jew#In Literature. The section reads in red: error: {{lang}}: text has italic markup.
But trying with hello world, there's nothing wrong:
Trying here: hello world
Not sure what the problem is. Seems to me that here it shouldn't be lang_xx_italic but rather lang_de_italic. Am I correct? פשוט pashute ♫ ( talk) 04:17, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Category:Germanic multilingual support templates is already there. And just fyi for the future, template documentation pages are usually unprotected and you can effortlessly add categories and other needed info as you deem necessary.
