Vicipaedia:Vicipaedia antiqua/Mores Vicipaediae

Pagina iners

Haec pagina notiones antiquas colligit et historiae causa servatur. Non est recensenda.

Notiones hic collectae inter dies 8 Iunii 2007 et 10 Iunii 2007 redactae sunt. Ultimum nomen huius paginae fuit Vicipaedia:Mores Vicipaediae.

The intention

• This is a list of habits we are having in the Latin Wikipedia.
• Feel free to add what you think is an established habit.
• Feel free to move (= "movere") the templates, if you think the name is not appropriate.
• Feel free to create redirects, for example, if you can provide a Latin title. E. g. "De fontibus" for "About sources".
• The name of all English snippets should start with "About ...", the Latin titles might start with "De ...".

The idea is, that instead of explaining the same things individually to users, we can point them to these snippets.

So we could say:

Please read {{about sources}}.

Which is written this way:

 Please read {{fn|about sources}}.

We could even think of templates with parameters like:

 Please read {{about sources|la}}.       ... in Latin
 Please read {{about sources|de}}.       ... in German
 Please read {{de fontibus|la}}.         ... same as {{about sources|la}}

 or, a bit trickier:
 Please read {{about|sources|la}}.       ... the template is called in English, topic=sources, lang=Latin

The list
