On your recent translations

Hello, Dexom.

Although I don't speak Czech, I trust you're doing a good job with your translations. However, I see you've been repeating a few little mistakes, which I'd like to point out to help you improve your contributions.

While most of the {{Item infobox}}'s parameters have automated translation, some don't. These include things like used-by, item-kind, and released (released-major does, though). If you check the template's page, you'll find explanations for how each parameter works. You can also click the Show preview button below the text box while editing to see if anything in the infobox was left untranslated.

Wikipedia links can be a bit annoying to translate, as these need the target article's title (for instance, to link to the Czech article for "top hat", it would have to be [[w:cs:Cylindr (klobouk)|cylindr]] instead of [[w:Top hat/cs|cylindr]] or [[w:cs:Top hat|cylindr]]). If the Wikipedia article does not exist in the same language as the TF Wiki article, it's ok to leave the link leading to the English article, but remember to add {{lang icon|en}} after it to let readers know the target page is in English.

It's also a good idea to use translation templates like {{item link}} and {{update link}} in articles, as they can update automatically in case of something like a name change or just shorten the amount of text (such as {{item link|Hat of Undeniable Wealth And Respect}} instead of [[Hat of Undeniable Wealth And Respect/cs|Hat of Undeniable Wealth And Respect]]) (this is not needed, it's just a convenience).

I've noticed you started using == {{common string|See also}} == after an edit of mine. This was simply because your translation of "See also" differed from what's in the common strings dictionary and, to save some time, I just used that instead of copy-pasting the translation ("Zhlédněte také") into the article. Most common section names, like "Update history" and "Gallery", have set translations and, just like in the previous paragraph, you can (not need to) use {{common string}} for convenience's sake.

Lastly, you don't need to limit your edits to just translations. If you see something in an English article that needs to be fixed/updated (like a typo or an outdated description) or just improved (like adding released-major to item infoboxes that still use released = {{Patch name}}<br>([[Major Update]])), you are free and welcome to do so.

Thank you for your attention, and welcome to the Team Fortress Wiki. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me or other, more experienced editors. - BrazilianNut (talk) 11:40, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Lang icon template

Hi there,

The lang icon template should only be used on translations if the link is not the same as the language of the article. E.g. if a link is to an English Wikipedia article it should use {{lang icon|en}}, but if it links to a Czech article it should not have {{lang icon|cs}}.

Translation request

Hi there,

I've recently updated {{Map infobox}} to automatically display Map stamp links. Could you please add a Czech translation for "Supporters leaderboard not yet added." on the template.

Translation request (2)

Hi there! Since you've been doing some Czech translations, would you mind making a page of the Trickster's Treats/cs? It's currently the most-wanted CS translation according to the "Wanted pages". Thanks, and have fun. --ShadowMan44 (talk) 05:23, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

{{Used by}} template

Hi there,

Please avoid adding the Used by template to the infobox. In the future, this will be integrated in the infobox itself and any existing instances will have to be removed.
