:::Other languages cannot query cargo tables created on the English wiki, so creating cargo table here would break all the other wikis.  [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 17:52, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

::::Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding or being naive, but would it be possible to create a root table that holds language-neutral info about something, then create other tables that hold language-sensitive data, and prefix them with `de` for Germen, etc., using a language-neutral identifier for joining tables in queries? Also, if there's somewhere better like a Discord or otherwise to talk about this instead of the noticeboard, let me know, this was all I could find.[[User:Micalobia|Micalobia]] ([[User talk:Micalobia|talk]]) 08:04, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

:::::It might be possible to create the kinds of tables you describe, but they would have to be manually copied to up to 11 other languages, for each page where they're used.  The queries would have to be customized for each language, to call the correct prefix.  And after all that, it would probably still be necessary to create a template to style the info queried from the table.  [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 16:04, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
