Template:BelgTemplate:MultiLinkRelisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 04:39, 21 November 2010 (UTC) This would be useful in many places besides WPBelgium, such as other WikiProjects, so a better name would be good. On French Wikipedia, a similar template exists called "MultiLien" 76.66.203.138 (talk) 13:16, 14 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Examples

Given that the purpose of this template is

Use this template if the article titles of the foreign Wikipedias are different from the English title.

it's hard to imagine a good reason for basing examples on a surname and a band, whose titles are the same in the English and foreign Wikipedias. I have substituted the article Trout, whose name is different in most of the foreign Wikipedias but is also Trout in Bahasa Indonesia, supporting an example of the default use of the English name.


I also can see no purpose to the following, and have deleted it:

  • {{ill2|Noordkaap|nl|Noordkaap (band)|li|Noordkaap (band)}} gives Noordkaap [nl; li]
In an example like the last one, it is often preferable to use piping to simulate the effect of: [[Noordkaap (band)|Noordkaap]]. This can be accomplished by using the meta-template {{!}}
  • {{ill2|Noordkaap (band){{!}}Noordkaap|nl|Noordkaap (band)|li|Noordkaap (band)}} gives Noordkaap [nl; li]
