please remove extra space after pipe of category or simply change "Category:Articles containing non-English language text| " to "Category:Articles containing non-English language text|".

Prohibition should be relaxed

The blurb text currently reads: "This category should only be added with the {{Lang}} family of templates, never explicitly." I don't think this is a wise prohibition. Sometimes the name is given in a foreign language before the English, thus making use of the {{Lang}} template inapproriate. In those instances, for the lack of a multilingual support template which covers such cases, we should be allowed to add this category directly to the articles, as is possible with other hidden maintenance categories such as Category:Year of birth missing. __meco (talk) 09:18, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

LargeCategory TOC

Can someone modify this so that if the contents are larger then 3,000, {{LargeCategoryTOC}} is used instead of {{Category TOC}}? Vegaswikian (talk) 02:03, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Miscategorisation

Some recent changes by Zyxw (talk · contribs) are putting categories inside themselves, for example Category:Articles containing Chinese-language text; Category:Articles containing Havasupai-Hualapai-Yavapai-language text; and Category:Articles containing Mohave-language text. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:41, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Redrose64: Thanks for pointing this out. It was caused by the {{Lang-x}} examples. I have fixed the three categories you mentioned and will fix any others that I find. -- Zyxw (talk) 10:54, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:49, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Increase parameter count

Please provide a seventh parameter so that Category:Articles containing undetermined-language text doesn't truncate the last (sixth) entry: "Template:ISO 639 name und-lat." Thanks, --User:Usien6 17:28, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, if someone can figure out how the heck are some articles ending up in Category:Articles containing Undetermined-language text, (notice the miscapitalization) please reach me through my talk page… Thank you --User:Usien6 17:28, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Usien6:  Partly done I added the parameter, but have left the request open in case someone can answer your miscategorization question.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ<  20:38, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Usien6: A one-character edit to Module:Language/data/iana languages would fix the "Undetermined" category name. I don't know if there would be side-effects, so I'll ping Trappist the monk, who has been working on the "lang" templates. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:21, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @SMcCandlish: Dear @John of Reading: Thank you for your prompt replies. The miscategorization issue is now fixed. The truncation of the seventh parameter is not, though. Even after purging. Please, reconsider, --User:Usien6 11:36, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Usien6: Should be fixed now? I edited {{Category articles containing non-English-language text/core}} and {{Category articles containing non-English-language text/inner core}} -- John of Reading (talk) 12:18, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I missed something in sub-templates? Incontheivable!  ;-)  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ<  14:07, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you It works fine, now --User:Usien6 15:53, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Template name incorrect in examples

The template name is incorrect (in different ways) in each of the usage examples. DferDaisy (talk) 00:31, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~/inner core

Template:Category articles containing non-English-language text/inner core is responsible for the right-floating box with the heading: "This category is indirectly triggered by the templates". I think that this is not true. None of the templates in Category:ISO 639 name from code templates that I inspected – just a few, there are 1100+ templates in that category – emit categories. Further, ~/inner core says:

This category should only be added with the {{Lang}} family of templates, never explicitly.

One last tidbit: there is a slow-burning move afoot to deprecate and remove all of the {{ISO 639 name <code>}} templates in favor of a single parameterized template {{ISO 639 name|<code>}} that uses Module:ISO 639 name (which shares data files with Module:Lang).

So the questions are:

  1. Should ISO 639 language templates (individual or parameterized) categorize?
    1. If yes:
      • Should the ISO 639 templates share the same categories as those purportedly reserved for {{lang}}?
        1. If categories should not be shared:
          • How shall the ISO 639 language categories be distinguished from the existing categories?
      • In view of the slow-burn move towards deprecation and removal, should implementation of categorization be deferred to the parameterized template?
    2. If no:
      • Shall ~/inner core be edited to remove the right-floating box?

Slow burn caught a gust of wind: Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2020 August 14 § ISO 639 name from code templates
—Trappist the monk (talk) 18:39, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There having been no discussion, and because the TfD closed as delete, I have removed the right-floating box from Template:Category articles containing non-English-language text/inner core.

Gonnym, are you aware that there are now 33 tranclusions of this generating an error. If not, see Category:Lang and lang-xx template errors. Thanks MB 17:41, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
