::::Both "Egg" and "Calico Desert" are surely translated already for other use, so picking up the suitable language for Calico Egg ought to be pretty straightforward. [[User:Giles|Giles]] ([[User talk:Giles|talk]]) 22:07, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

:::::I'm new to helping out with the wiki so I'm trying to understand how the translations work, but in this template its not applicable right? Since we only show an icon + number right? Or is it linking to the egg somehow? From the [[Help:Editing]] I understand that the text modifier (e.g. ''walnut'' or ''egg'' in this case) has to be just in English?

:::::Since no one seems to understand what's written in [[Help:Editing]], I'll try to explain. Template changes need to be carried out in all 12 languages. All 12 languages' templates need to have the same structure. The only difference should be in terms that vary by language, ''i.e.,'' translations.
:::::What is needed, once changes are discussed and agreed upon, is someone to say "I'll change all 12 languages!" That person can then make the appropriate changes, '''in all 12 languages'''.
:::::Translators begin by copy/pasting the page in English. Then they begin to translate. If a template isn't up-to-date in another language, the translation stops, and the translator has to investigate the problem. If they aren't familiar with mediawiki syntax, which is usually the case, they either ask me a question about it or give up and leave a mess. If they ask a question, it falls on me to do the investigation, find the source of the problem, and fix it. If they leave a mess, once again, it falls on me to clean it up.
:::::Therefore, template changes need to be discussed before being implemented.
:::::Is anyone willing to change the template in all 12 languages?
