 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Unattributed translation. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Adds a banner to the top of a page or section suspected of having an unattributed translation from another Wikipedia or Wikimedia project, and the need for possible retroactive repair.
Usage edit
{{Unattributed translation}}
{{Unattributed translation|section}}
{{Unattributed translation|source=Other source}}
When edit
This template is designed to be used to flag an article or section of an article that appears to contain content translated from another Wikipedia, or other Wikimedia project page, but which lacks the required attribution attribution statement in the edit summary, as required by the Terms of use.
This situation usually occurs when an editor has translated content from a foreign Wikipedia and saved the edit without including an attribution statement in the edit summary, either because they were unaware of this requirement, or because they forgot to include it. The lack of attribution can be remedied after the fact, as explained at WP:RIA.
Where edit
The template should normally be placed among other maintenance templates near the top of the article page suspected of having an unattributed translation. For exact positioning, see MOS:ORDER. If the template applies only to content in a specific section, place it at the top of the section (and see parameter 1 below).
Parameters edit
Two parameters, both optional:
|1= – scope of issue: the word section, paragraph, etc. (optional; default = "article")
|2= – source where content was translated from; e.g., "Wikisource", "German Wikipedia", etc. (optional; default: "another Wikipedia")
When to remove edit
You may remove this template from a page if it was placed incorrectly (please explain at Talk in that case), or when it no longer applies because you have added a properly formatted translation attribution statement to the revision history of the page using a dummy edit. The following is an example of an edit summary you can use and modify:
Note: Content in the previous edit of 22:32, 32 Octember 2024 is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.
See WP:CWW#Repairing insufficient attribution for further details.
