Template:Expand Dutch

  • Edit
This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in Dutch. Click [show] for important translation instructions.
  • View a machine-translated version of the Dutch article.
  • Google's machine translation is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
  • Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
  • You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary (using German): Content in this edit is translated from the existing German Wikipedia article at [[:de:Exact name of German article]]; see its history for attribution.
  • You should also add the template {{Translated|nl|Expand Dutch}} to the talk page.
  • For more guidance, see Wikipedia:Translation.

Background

edit

This template is generated by {{Expand language}}. It is used to mark articles that are better in Dutch Wikipedia than in English Wikipedia, and thus should be translated from Dutch into English.

Usage

edit

To mark an article, tag it with:

{{Expand Dutch|Dutcharticletitle}}

If the name of the article in Dutch Wikipedia is not specified, the template defaults to the name of the article to which the template is applied. This is good when the article has the same name in both English and Dutch. This is bad when the names are different, because the template link will point to a non-existent or unrelated article in Dutch Wikipedia.

This template places articles in the category Category:Articles needing translation from Dutch Wikipedia.

Optional parameters

edit

Foreign language featured articles can be marked using fa=yes, as in {{Expand Dutch|Dutcharticletitle|fa=yes}}
