ଛାଞ୍ଚ:wikimedia language name/doc

This template generates the name of any language from a Wikimedia language code; otherwise, from a Wiktionary language code.

Mechanics

This template employs a #switch parser function with a list of codes that differ between Wikimedia and Wiktionary. If a code is not in this list, its name will be generated by the Wiktionary code template.

Usage

Simply place the code as the only, first, unnamed parameter.

Examples

• {{mediawiki language name|roa-rup}} returns (from the #switch list):

  Aromanian

• {{mediawiki language name|zh}} returns (from the #switch list):

  Chinese

• {{mediawiki language name|fr}} returns (from the Wiktionary template):

  ଛାଞ୍ଚ:fr

Exceptions

• {{mediawiki language name|cmn}} is not a Wikimedia language code, but returns (from the Wiktionary template) anyway:

  Mandarin

• {{mediawiki language name|qwerty}} is not a Wikimedia language code nor it is in a Wiktionary language code template, so it returns a red link:

  ଛାଞ୍ଚ:qwerty
