Template talk:Lang-ja

Overlap
This seems to overlap a lot with Nihongo2. --Apoc2400 (talk) 09:01, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree. Is there a preference for this template over another - I feel like I've see more style guides reference this one, but in practice Nihongo is used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kitty4777 (talk • contribs) 10:38, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Someone please fix lit param
It currently doesn't display; see Template:Lang-el for a working example. Jujutsuan (talk &#124; contribs) 02:10, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Also the translit param doesn't even show up in the visual editor. Jujutsuan (talk &#124; contribs) 02:11, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Edit request, 27 August 2016
Please replace the contents of this template with the contents of the sandbox, which I have converted to use Template:Language with name and transliteration (like Template:Lang-ru and some others) and to incorporate the requests from User:Xxglennxx and User:Jujutsuan above. Thanks! — OwenBlacker (Talk) 21:31, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done Corrected a typo and synced. — Andy W.  ( talk  · ctb) 21:43, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

ce request
Under "Usage", "in Japanese language" is ungrammatical, and should be either "in Japanese" or "in the Japanese language". Imaginatorium (talk) 04:58, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Padlock-silver-open.svg Not done: According to the page's protection level you should be able to edit the page yourself. If you seem to be unable to, please reopen the request with further details. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 06:10, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Well, I get "You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason..." This did seem a bit odd to me, because protecting the actual template (code) makes sense, whereas this, although called "Template" is actually the Documentation, not the code, and I ought to be able to (copy)edit it. Perhaps there is some error somewhere? Imaginatorium (talk) 07:33, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The template is template protected. It only allows either an admin or a template editor to edit it. I've added the correct edit request template (Template:Edit template-protected), so someone with the appropriate permissions should be along soon. Nici  Vampire  Heart  12:44, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * This request needs to be posted on Module talk:Lang, since that module controls the output. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 13:12, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The documentation is from Template:Lang-x/doc, which is semi-protected. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 23:25, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, I explored various of these generic links, but cannot find anything that looks like this page (i.e. the human-readable explanation of the specific template Lang-ja). But I surmise that this is generated from some meta-template somewhere, and I think that writing "in &lt;lang> language" is ungrammatical for any language with the English name &lt;lang>, and the "language" should be removed from the meta-template.

Way to remove Japanese: needed, not just link
A way to remove "Japanese:" is very much needed. This is, I feel, a big reason why Nihongo and Nihongo2 are used in practice, and I've just run into it again while editing renko chart (while adding the alternate writing). Please add a flag which removes "Japanese:". Psiĥedelisto (talk) 02:35, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
