Forum:Translation Template

The translation template is a template that is not used here. I have found this out just recently. Me and User:Adam Restling have both found this out the usual way, by using it. I have seen on Twocents' talk page that apparently many r using this Template despite it being incorrect.

1). If this Template is not used nor is it to be used, WHY oh, WHY, is it here? U should know that having it here is just asking for trouble.

2). It is on dozens of pages. Again why? Who put them there? Why r they still there? And why has no one posted a Forum on this? The Forum:A new style for templates, is about different templates. Templates just don't appear. So again all I can ask is why? Minato  07:26, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, you got the whole template issue wrong. We do use one, but the one we DON'T use is the one that's arranged similarly to a list. Check here to see what I mean:. Arrancar109 07:31, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

First up, yes. This was meant for the "Forum:Improvements and Issues" page. I have no idea what went wrong.

Secondly, that doesn't really help. How r u guys using a different template then the one that is there. I clicked Edit the page. Scrolled to correct place. It said template. I clicked. The template opened. I made edits. It was wrong. The six step progress I used. I don't know what is going on here. Again(I know I am missing something)but, Why and Help?

 * I have the rich text editor disabled and do everything through the wikicode editor, as the RT editor can do strange and unexpected things sometimes. If I understand you correctly, then you are using the RT editor to modify the template. Perhaps when modifying templates it would be best to switch to the wikitext editor to do it, and use the "Show Changes" option underneath the edit summary box to check that it hasn't changed the style of the template. -- Yyp  (Talk)  12:05, December 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that answer as that is what I was asking. The only difference which is probably what confused Arrancar109 is I called it Wiki Text Mode instead of editor. I figured that is what u were doing. At any rate now I know not to ever edit a template in RT Mode(I call em modes, sue me, LOL). Minato  18:32, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
