Mark for translation-request

at Template:Rfc subpage, I tried to improve sorting. To make it work, the template might need to be marked for translation (even if that changes nothing visible). e 13:30, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Is my markup correct?

I just have translated the Wikimedia Foundation/Advancement page to Ukrainian: Wikimedia Foundation/Advancement/uk.

The origin page includes the {{WMF Advancement Side Nav}} template.

I want to mark it up for translation. I've never done this before and my attempt of editing the original template was unsuccessful, so I made a copy at {{WMF Advancement Side Nav - test}}.

Please check if it is correct and help to finish making {{WMF Advancement Side Nav}} ready for translation. Thank you! Perohanych (talk) 15:06, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Seems ok, but I would either include the complete markup (with asterisks and brackets) into the translate tags and use tvars to exclude the link, or only put the translatable text inside the tags. Personally, I prefer the latter, because there is no context needed for the translation of the text and therefore the link syntax can just be excluded. –MrBenjo (talk) 16:06, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

I have applied the following changes:

• You first attempt was good, but the tvar’s were useless since they were not inside translate tags. Also, the tvar numbering should start at 1 again in each unit.
• Since you’re linking sections, you can only target the anchor, skipping the page name. Else the full page will reload when you click on the link.
• The language tag should be inside noinclude tag, else you will see the language bar in the transcluding page.
• By the way, to make a second list level, we should use ** instead of :*. Colons should never be used to indent text, they mean “here is the description of the previous term” (the term is preceded with a semi-colon).
