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 I just worry a bit about translations getting out of date, or information being added only to a translated page and not the base page, because the pages have different names (French vs English, rather than only using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.

You deleted Tent. I'm assuming that was accidental and I've reverted the delete. --Inkoaten 05:35, 27 March 2009 (EST)

It's not tent but tentE with an E wich need to be deleted. Then I'll be able to redirect tent/fr to tente. I'm sorry to give you some trouble but we are now 2 or 3 translators working on the french version. I try to explain to the others how to process but they surely will make some mistakes so some pages to delete. Kaayru made some changes in game as well (about box and chest) and I had to modify the pages about them -- Noreferti 08:46, 27 March 2009 (EST)

I saw that you deleted Tente with an E. But you also deleted the English version Tent! That is what I fixed. --Inkoaten 09:03, 27 March 2009 (EST)
