 | This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself.

Administrators: Please do not delete this category even if it is empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time. |
This category is used to track {{Lang}} and {{Lang-??}} template errors and other Module:Lang-related errors. This category is used only by Module:Lang.
See List of ISO 639 language codes for many modern languages: List of ISO 639-3 codes lists all the 3-letter codes.
Module:Lang consolidates the processing of {{Lang}} and most of the {{Lang-xx}} templates. As part of that, the module emits error messages when the template parameters are used inappropriately or when the data assigned to the parameters is malformed. The error messages have the form:
where <text> is the text supplied to the template and rendered without proper html markup. Error messages are defined here:
| Error message | Template | Description |
|---|---|---|
| missing language tag | {{Lang}} |
{{{1}}} is empty; this parameter is required
|
{{Lang-xx}} |
|code= in the template's module {{#invoke:}} is empty
| |
| unrecognized language tag: <tag> | {{Lang}} |
where <tag> is the specified IETF language tag; this error message indicates that the tag is malformed or not listed in the module's data set. You must use a valid IETF language tag.
|
{{Lang-xx}}
| ||
| unrecognized language code: <code> | {{Lang}} |
where <code> is the first subtag (the base language code) in the specified IETF language tag; this error message indicates that the <code> subtag is malformed or not listed in the module's data set. You must use a valid IETF language tag.
|
{{Lang-xx}}
| ||
| unrecognized script: <script> for code: <code> | {{Lang}} |
where <script> is the second subtag and <code> is the first subtag in the specified IETF language tag; this error message indicates that the script subtag is malformed or not listed in the module's data set.
|
{{Lang-xx}}
| ||
| unrecognized region: <region> for code: <code> | {{Lang}} |
where <region> is the third (or second if script omitted) subtag and <code> is the first subtag in the specified IETF language tag; this error message indicates that the region subtag is malformed or not listed in the module's data set.
|
{{Lang-xx}}
| ||
| unrecognized variant: <variant> | {{Lang}} |
where <variant> is the last subtag in the specified IETF language tag; this error message indicates that the variant subtag has proper form (4 digits or 5–8 alphanumeric characters) but is not listed in the module's data set.
|
{{Lang-xx}}
| ||
| unrecognized variant: <variant> for code: <code> | {{Lang}} |
where <variant> is the last subtag and <code> is the first subtag in the specified IETF language tag; this error message indicates that the variant subtag is a valid variant subtag but is not valid when used with the <code> subtag.
|
{{Lang-xx}}
| ||
| unrecognized variant: <variant> for code-script pair: <code>-<script> | {{Lang}} |
where <variant> is the last subtag and <code>-<script> is the first and second subtags in the specified IETF language tag; this error message indicates that the variant subtag is a valid variant subtag but is not valid when used with the <code>-<script> subtags.
|
{{Lang-xx}}
| ||
| no text | {{Lang}} |
{{{2}}} is empty; this parameter is required
|
{{Lang-xx}} |
{{{1}}} is empty; this parameter is required. This error can occur if there is an equals sign (=) in the foreign-language text; use {{=}} if an equals sign is needed.
| |
| text has italic markup | {{Lang}} |
text has italic markup; use |italic= to control italics in the rendering; accepted parameter values are yes, no, unset, and default; see § Italic markup errors. If you want to encode partly italic text in a {{lang}}, do it like this: {{lang|fr|Je suis un clown nommé ''Maurice''|italic=unset}}.
|
{{Lang-xx}}
| ||
| text has malformed markup | {{Lang}} |
text has invalid wiki markup (''''or'''''' or more apostrophes).
|
{{Lang-xx}}
| ||
| redundant script tag | {{Lang-xx}} |
both the script subtag in |code= in the template's module {{#invoke:}} and |script= have assigned values; this error message indicates that (at present) only one of these is allowed.
|
| redundant region tag | {{Lang-xx}} |
both the region subtag in |code= in the template's module {{#invoke:}} and |region= have assigned values; this error message indicates that (at present) only one of these is allowed.
|
| redundant variant tag | {{Lang-xx}} |
both the variant subtag in |code= in the template's module {{#invoke:}} and |variant= have assigned values; this error message indicates that (at present) only one of these is allowed.
|
| code / script mismatch: <code> / <script> | {{Lang-xx}} |
where <code> is the IETF language tag specified in parameter |code= in the template's module {{#invoke:}} and <script> is the content of the template's |script= parameter. If an IETF script subtag is part of <code>, |script= is superfluous; however, templates should not 'hard code' a script in its language code; this is especially important for languages that use more than one script.
|
| conflicting: {{{1}}} and |text= | {{Lang-xx}} |
this error occurs when positional and named parameters are used together |
| conflicting: {{{2}}} and |translit= | ||
| conflicting: |lit= and |translation= | {{Lang-xx}} |
only one of these aliases is permitted |
| conflicting: |links= and |link= | ||
| script: <script> not supported for code: <code> | {{Lang}} |
where <script> is the second subtag or value assigned to |script=, and <code> is the first subtag in the specified IETF language tag; this error message indicates that the script subtag is not allowed (suppressed) when used with code; script may be safely omitted.
|
{{Lang-xx}}
|
The text has italic markup error commonly occurs for these reasons:
text includes text written with more than one alphabet
{{Lang-grc|Ἀθῆναι, ''Athênai''}}{{Lang-grc|Ἀθῆναι|translit=Athênai}} → Ancient Greek: Ἀθῆναι, romanized: Athênai{{Lang-xx|<first text>|italic=<yes|no>|rtl=<yes|no>}} {{Lang|xx|<second text>}}text includes italic markup to override default italic markup set by the {{Lang-xx}} template (see the settings box in the template doc §Usage section)
{{Lang-sco|''Dumbairton''}} – 'Dumbairton' is a proper name so should not be italicized{{Lang-sco|Dumbairton|italic=no}} → Scots: Dumbairton{{Lang-ku|ههڵپهركێ}} – text holds a script that should not be italicized{{Lang-ku|ههڵپهركێ|italic=no|rtl=yes}} → Kurdish: ههڵپهركێ
|rtl=toyesorno so that the template includes the correct html markup in the rendering)text holds Latin transliterations of right-to-left languages like Arabic (no Arabic script), consider setting |script=Latn so that the template removes the default right-to-left html markup from the rendering and automatically renders in italics:
{{Lang-ar|''min sallaf es-sabt lāqā el-ḥadd qiddāmūh''}}{{Lang-ar|min sallaf es-sabt lāqā el-ḥadd qiddāmūh|script=Latn}} → Arabic: min sallaf es-sabt lāqā el-ḥadd qiddāmūh{{transl}} instead:
[[Romanization of Arabic|Arabic]]: {{transl|ar|min sallaf es-sabt lāqā el-ḥadd qiddāmūh}} → Arabic: min sallaf es-sabt lāqā el-ḥadd qiddāmūhtext includes italic wiki markup to 'turn off' italics for an inserted English-language conjunction between two non-English words or phrases:
{{Lang-lt}} template:
{{Lang-lt|Rusijos lietuvių seimas Petrograde'' or ''Visos Rusijos lietuvių seimas}}{{Lang-lt|Rusijos lietuvių seimas Petrograde}} or {{Lang|lt|Visos Rusijos lietuvių seimas}} → Lithuanian: Rusijos lietuvių seimas PetrogradeorVisos Rusijos lietuvių seimas{{Lang-en}}or{{Lang|en|...}}, consider removing the template; this is the English Wikipedia, it is not usually necessary to identify English text in the English Wikipedia as being English.{{Lang-uk|''Українська Народна Міліція''}}{{Lang-uk|Українська Народна Міліція}} → Ukrainian: Українська Народна МіліціяThe following 19 pages are in this category, out of 19 total.
