Why have you made subtemplates for Parts? Even if it would be better for some reason, you made it wrong, now multilanguage don`t work.
I don't have time now to fix it, but you should send information about language to structures {{#switch:{{{1}}} in template.
Template {{Template:SUBPAGENAME}} get Suffix "ru" from Russian pages and sends it to template, where structure {{#switch:{{{1}}} uses it to choose Russian version of word.
You should type not {{Template:Stats Table SAS}}, but {{Template:Stats Table SAS|{{Template:SUBPAGENAME}}}}. You should do it that way for all multilanguage templates.
Please fix it all. I hope my English is good enough for you to understand me. --Varden (talk) 00:21, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
- The reason I made the sub-templates is so they can be reused in many locations. The work you had done had tied the tables together, so something like a table for RCS thrusters can not be used in isolation from the rest of the command and control. I will try to understand how to make it so that these sub-templates can be used with multi language, but if you could perhaps do the first one, so I can see how it should be used, and of course I will not be able to provide the actual translations.
- Where you suggest that I put 'SUBPAGENAME' is that a variable that indicated what language to use, or is it something that stays constant? I do want to help support multi-language, but at the same time, I am sure you can appreciate that English is the dominate language that will get priority.

- I've fixed one[1]. I learned about switch structure in this Template:Languages/Title. You can try to make support page in English, it would be great. I think some documentation [2] template should be done to include in every multi language page for preventing breaking that templates by other users.
Sorry about that translation.I did it accidentally.
By the way I'm making a russian wiki http://ksp-wiki.ru. You don't mind if I'll use information from this wiki?
- This wiki already has an in progress Russian translation. I am not in a position to say if it is ok to take the content from here, but I think it would be better if you made use of this wiki, and helped translate it. Most pages have a Russian version '/ru' tagged onto the end of the URL. Thecoshman (talk) 12:19, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
- We translate from English to Russian ourselves and we have more information translated.
- I personally don't have a problem with you maintaining a separate wiki, but I do think it would better if you used the Official wiki and help translate it. Especially I am sure more will people will come to this wiki first, as it is what the main KSP site links to. Thecoshman (talk) 12:53, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
- But the starting page of this wiki is in English and mine wiki is in Russian,so my wiki is more attractive.
- I understand your point of view. There is not much more to be said on this issue. I would personally rather see content taken from that dedicated Russian wiki moved over to the translated version of this official wiki. If you feel other wise, that's fine.

- WTTeam, I understand your need for a Russian wiki. However, as you can see by visiting http://kspwiki.nexisonline.net/wiki/Main_Page/ru, this wiki is more than capable of handling the needs of Russian users. Since this is the official wiki, it will be far more up to date, and it has many anti-spam improvements. We do need people to help us translate for Russian users, though, so if I've missed any features you need, please let me know. -- N3X15 (talk) 19:53, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
About Talk
Firstly, please do not instruct people what they can and cannot do on my talk page. Talk pages are designed to allow discussion with that user, so if someone has a question to direct to me, they can freely do so on the talk page. That's what it's there for.
Second, as far as I can tall, you are not a sysop, and dictating policy when you are not a sysop or bureaucrat is out of line. Even though I've made this wiki as open as I can, Squad still owns the wiki, and only they can decide policies. So please, do not tell users what should and should not be done. That's our job.
Thank you for understanding. -- N3X15 (talk) 20:27, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
