Hi, I see you have been translating some pages to French. From what I understand, the 'right' way to do this in Mediawiki is to create subpages of the main English page, for example create 'Rabbits/Fr' instead of 'Lapin'; then put a Languages template on the main page listing the available languages. This is so the original page and the translated version are kept together, and so the Languages template works correctly. --Inkoaten 10:33, 17 March 2009 (EST)

I have understood that but sometimes I make a mistake because doing many things at the same time.
At the beginning, by pure chance, I had to translate two pages which have the same name in french and in english : guide and container. So I was a bit confused about the links.
Now, I take care to use the <namepage>/fr then to move the created page to the french word.
Except for pages with no corresponding english pages, it should be ok now. Lapin was just a mistake. Sorry for that

Ok, I think I see the problem with Lapin, it is using Rabbit not Rabbits as the base page (Rabbit is a redirect to Rabbits). The other pages seem to work better. I just worry a bit about translations getting out of date, or information being added only to a translated page and not the base page, because the pages have different names (French vs English, rather than only using a single base name + language suffix).
What do you think about not creating the pages named using French words (e.g. Lapin) and keeping the page as Rabbits/fr? Or perhaps you could create Lapin as a redirect to Rabbits/fr, rather than the other way around? That would keep the related pages together better.
