Shouldn't Template:lang-nds direct to Low German since that's the name of the article? — AjaxSmack 23:21, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
please, please stop creating these {{ lang-ISO1}} templates. It is insane to create separate templates for the 5,000 or so languages in ISO. It is perfectly sufficient, and much cleaner to just use {{ langWithName}} directly. What you are doing is creating a crapload of templates that do nothing else but transclude another template. Which is a bad idea already for concerns of server load. I would even recommend scrapping that too, and spell out the langauge link in the text, as in
All "multilingual support templates" we should need are {{ lang}} and {{ rtl-lang}}, and maybe a couple of special cases like {{ IAST}} or {{ ArabDIN}} for specified transliteration standards. If for some reason we keep these templates around, they should always be subst:ed! dab (𒁳) 10:10, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Why do some lang templates render the content in italics (e.g. {{ lang-hr}}, {{ lang-nl}}), while others do not (e.g. {{ lang-bg}}, {{ lang-el}})? I think that no italics would be preferable, but above all these templates should be consistent. GregorB 21:56, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
