Meta:Common messages/Built-in messages
This page provides a quick reference to a number of commonly used built-in messages. Use of these messages helps reduce the workload for translators.
Usage
You may use {{int}} template to display a system message in current page language using translations provided by Translatewiki.net. This is helpful to automatically translate:
- Wikimedia global project names, e.g.
{{int|wikibase-otherprojects-commons}}gives “Wikimedia Commons”. - Wikimedia local project names, e.g.
{{int|project-localized-name-frwiki}}gives “French Wikipedia”. - Months, e.g.
{{int|September}}gives “September”.
Capitalization
You can use these formatting parser functions to handle capitalization:
- All lowercase:
{{lc:{{int|string}}}}
Example:{{lc:{{int|faq}}}}→ faq - First letter in lowercase:
{{lcfirst:{{int|string}}}}
Example:{{lcfirst:{{int|email}}}}→ email - All uppercase:
{{uc:{{int|string}}}}
Example:{{uc:{{int|email}}}}→ EMAIL - First letter in uppercase:
{{ucfirst:{{int|string}}}}
Example:{{ucfirst:{{int|diff}}}}→ Diff
Where available, usage of the {{Int string}} template is encouraged. If a system message is removed or otherwise in need of updating or replacement, use of this template will allow for updates or replacements to be provided without needing to update each individual usage.
