			== Translation mishandling, again ==

			Hiya. It seems you've mishandled the titles of localized pages twice by now? I reverted those changes because localized pages do not work like that. I'm writing this to give you a bit of help.

			Currently, localized pages follow roughly the same system as the [[tf:Help:Language translation\|TF2 Wiki]]. Localized pages ''need'' to follow the format <code>English title/zh-hans</code> for the sake of MediaWiki recognizing the page as a translation. It allows the wiki (well, specifically the extension I wrote) to:

			* recognize the language properly
			* automatically add a link to the other languages in the language box at the bottom left.
			* localize the wiki's interface for unlogged users (rather than show it in English).
			* let templates ''also'' recognize the language and let them choose the proper languages (because templates are meant to hold language information!!).

			See it in action at [[TF2Classic_Wiki:Language test]].

			I'm picking a few examples, but as of right now, you've made these following (invalid) pages:

			* "侦察兵" - should be [[Scout/zh-hans]].
			* "File:Backpack 猎枪.png" - a duplicate of [[:File:Backpack Scattergun.png]], duplicates files aren't allowed, you should use the original file.
			* "Category:武器" - categories are messy, they're a special MediaWiki tool, the proper category would technically be [[:Category:Weapons/zh-hans]], so I think the invalid category shouldn't exist at all even as a redirect?

			Please generally try avoiding renaming pages as of right now.

			Read [[Help:Language translation]] for more information. Try looking at other existing translations to see how they've done the technical stuff.

			If you have any questions, please do ask. Thank you. <span style="font-family:monospace">[[User:Technochips\|Technochips]]</span> ([[User talk:Technochips\|talk]]) 12:34, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

	Don't translate the base pages to your language. I don't know which language code would cover the language you're translating into, but I'm going to guess either zh-hans or zh-hant, so you should be creating translated versions of article like [[Pyro/zh-hans]] or [[Pyro/zh-hant]] depending on if you're doing simplified or traditional Chinese.
