Multilingual Shared Templates and Modules
Hello en-wiki community!

I recently organized a project to share templates and modules between wiki projects and languages. It allows modules and templates to be “language-neutral”, and store all text translations on Commons. This means that it is enough to copy/paste a template without any changes, and update the translations separately. If someone fixes a bug or adds a new feature in the original module, you can copy/paste it again without any translation work. My bot DiBabelYurikBot can help with copying. This way users can spend more time on content, and less time on updating and copying templates. Please see project page for details and ask questions on talk page.

P.S. I am currently running for the Wikimedia board, focusing on content and support of multi-language communities. If you liked my projects like maps, graphs, or this one, I will be happy to receive your support. (any registered user group can vote). Thank you! --Yurik (🗨️) 04:06, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

 * (hehe, Pi zero, I was thinking the same thing when writing it -- at first I wanted to do a longer en-wikibooks but then thought it would be fairer to just call everyone a wiki :) --Yurik (discuss • contribs) 16:59, 12 May 2019 (UTC))
