Hello, thank you for your interesting remark on crosswiki templates. I have never understood why langwikis (especially enwiki) don't like it international and prefer staying insidewiki only. Just see the mess about covid data : each wikis has its table, its data, so you would have to edit xxx to show same data among wikis... I edited this template https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mod%C3%A8le:A%C3%A9roport-Statistiques Someone didn't like my using template LangSwitch on enwiki. So perhaps https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Translatable_template would be a better solution to store translation of templates but is it accepted on enwiki and how to implement its use ?

I do agree that COVID data sharing across languages works extremely badly, and that it's indeed one of the best examples of the need for better technology for sharing templates, tools, and data across wikis. Unfortunately, I don't expect your suggestion to be easily accepted by the community with the current state of technology, and that's why I am promoting the idea of creating a Global templates repository. This will take the sharing of tools and data across wikis to the next level, allowing things that the communities want to be local to remain local, and to easily share the things that people want to share. It won't happen tomorrow, and it will take a long time to get this implemented, but the recognition that this is necessary is growing :)
Your comments would be very welcome on Global templates/Discuss, as well as on the talk pages of Global templates/Proposed specification, short version and Global templates/Proposed specification.
In fact, the very people opposing my use of LangSwitch is the same opposing your idea...
Hello there, I think I've succeeded in developing the template about airport patronages cross wikis, thanks to the I18n templates. However, I really wonder how to translate documentation, such this way Wikidata ? Perhaps you'd have a way to enabling translation tool somewhere ?
I cannot give you a very good solution right now, but maybe the Translatable modules project, which is in development now, will be useful in a few months.
Where is the template itself?
I was trying to help translate into French that one https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%8F:WE-Framework
One of the difficulties of the airport patronage documentation is that for instance nederlands template documentation has to be inside the very template (so that if you update copy-paste the original code, the nl documentation would disappear again). eg there nl:Sjabloon:Luchthaven-Statistieken
Yeah, that's the difficulty. There's currently no unified framework to do this. It has to be developed.
Hmmm..... Just have a look at that discussion ... https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Helpdesk#Dokumentatie_sjabloon
Oh, that's an interesting link! Give me some time to go through it properly.
