Template:GetLangcode
en
 | Uses Lua: |
Determines the language code of the page the template is used on. It’s useful in templates which may be used on pages translated using legacy methods (not only the Translate extension).
Usage
{{GetLangcode}}
Template parameters
- TemplateData
TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.
Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either useTemplateData=1 or useTemplateData=only on the /doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. <nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.
Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw <templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.

See also
On pages translated using the Translate extension (or otherwise have their page language set), the magic word {{PAGELANGUAGE}} can be used instead of this template. If the page title doesn’t end with the language code as a subpage (which cannot happen using the Translate extension, but it’s possible with manual page language change), only the magic word works.
