Template talk:Expand Japanese

Can I request that "topic=manga" be added to this template? A large percentage of the articles in Category: Culture articles needing translation from Japanese Wikipedia actually relate to manga. It would be nice to have a separate category for manga and the larger category for everything else. I have created the category, but can't edit the template, since I'm not an admin.

Broken link?
Um, the text is showing up as "Please expand this article with text translated from the corresponding article in the Japanese Wikipedia." Shouldn't that just be a fluid link to the Japanese wiki? &mdash;  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:36, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Google Translate Link
The link to google translate generated by this template is currently broken. For example, the link in Kaoru Nakamaru is  http://translate.google.com/translate?&u=http%3A%2F%2Fja.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F%5B%5B%3Aja%3A%E4%B8%AD%E4%B8%B8%E8%96%AB%7Ccorresponding+article%5D%5D&sl=ja&tl=en it should be  http://translate.google.com/translate?&u=http%3A%2F%2Fja.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F%E4%B8%AD%E4%B8%B8%E8%96%AB&sl=ja&tl=en

I am not sure if the problem is here or in Template:Expand language (non-Latin script). Anoyatu (talk) 23:30, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Machine translated text is pure garbage
This template is a waste of everyone's time. The machine translated text is garbage. This template is on pages dating from years and years ago, sometimes when the Japanese page contains nothing relevant. I suggest this template be deleted. JoshuSasori (talk) 06:51, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
