The result of the debate was add the {{Interlang}} template to the Layout Guide, with Interwiki links moved above the "Categories" section of an article and the Interwiki links section updated to reflect the template code. Trak Nar ^{Ramble on} 04:38, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

Now that we've deployed Template:Interlang per the relevant CT, I just wanted to formalize an amendment to the Layout Guide, in two small but rather important ways.

First, the "Interwiki links" section should be moved above the "Categories" section, for technical reasons. Since it uses a template rather than MediaWiki-style language coding, wiki-editing tools will want to put categories below it anyway.

Second, the "Interwiki links" section should be updated to reflect the template code rather than the MediaWiki code:

Old section:

[[Category:Example category]]

[[de:Example German interwiki link]]
[[es:Example Spanish interwiki link]]

New section (now placed above "Categories"):

{{Interlang
|da=Anakin
|de=Anakin
|es=Anakin
|fi=Anakin (täsmennyssivu)
|deFA=1
|esFA=1
}}

Anyway, this should be a no-brainer, since bots and semi-automated editing tools are pretty much going to make it the standard whether we codify it or not. I just think it's best to get things like this written down somewhere. So here's a simple yay or nay vote, so we can legally chuck it in the LG once it snowballs. -- Darth Culator ^(Talk) 01:42, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
