Welcome to my Sandbox where I work on random stuff. If you think any of these are good enough to use, feel free to take the code and turn them into an actual templates and put them into use.

Translation link template

Translators get to deal with a slight pain in the ass when creating links to other articles, as they have to give every link a custom name and add in the language code to the link. As an example:

[[Weapons/fr|Weapons]]

I imagine that can get tiring after a while. My proposal is as follows. This code has been tested and is perfectly functional:

[[{{{1}}}/{{PAGELANGUAGE}}|{{ #if: {{{2|}}} | {{{2}}} | {{{1}}} }}]]

To keep the template name short, Template:t could be used. I initially wanted to use Template:tl for this, but theres already a stock template under that name. Usage would be:

{{t|Weapons}}

Or to specify a custom word or phrase for the link:

{{t|Weapons|weaponry}}
