Translation Page Creation

Project:Translation Page Creation

The Main Page for a translation shall be a mother page with a number of children (subpages) according to the sections of the text submitted by the translator.

THESE PAGES SHOULD ALL BE PREFIXED WITH the word DRAFT:

DON'T FORGET to make a REDIRECT for the title without the prefix DRAFT

#REDIRECT[[Draft:TITLEOFTHETRANSLATION]][[Category:Redirects]]

The main page is created using the Draft Translation Form.

This is an example of the basic form of a main page for an English translation:

{{Text Translation
|haslanguage=English
|translator=TRANSLATOR
|editor=EDITOR OF TEXT AFTER TRANSLATOR
|wikieditor=YOU
|hasdraft=Yes or nothing
|hascommentary=TRANSLATIONTITLE OF COMMENTARY
|titletrans=TITLE
|subtitletrans=SUBTITLE
|memberofseries=Add series name here if a part of a series
|alternatepublicationsource=citation for alternate publication of translation
|publisher=Tsadra Foundation
|pubdate=DATEOFPOSTING
|hastextnumber=TEXT NUMBER BASED ON ARRIVAL AND INPUT
|translationnotes=
}}

• The Category Page for a translation should contain only the following tag:

{{Translation Category Page}}

All Subpages of a translation page should contain the following tag at the top of the page:

{{subpage}}

Introduction Page Creation

Above the text of the introduction, use the title from the text of the translation submitted by the translator. Format it like this:

<center><span style="font-size: 14pt">TITLE FROM TRANSLATORS TEXT</span></center><br>

Text Translation Page Creation

Format the title of the translation as above:

<center><span style="font-size: 14pt">TITLE FROM TRANSLATORS TEXT</span></center><br>

Bibliography Page Creation

The Bibliography Page for a Volume of translations will be a sub page of the English volume page in the DRAFT namespace.

Example: Volume 14

• In the Wylie volume information page for volume 14 we have the following metadata:
  • |VolumeTitleTib=ཞི་བྱེད་དང་བཅོད་པོད་གཉིས་པའི་དཀར་ཆག་
  • |VolumeTitleWylie=zhi byed dang bcod pod gnyis pa'i dkar chag
  • |VolumeTitleTrans=Draft:Zhije and Chöd Text Collections Volume 2
• Therefore, the bibliography page will be Draft:Zhije and Chöd Text Collections Volume 2/Bibliography

Every volume bibliography subpage should contain the following template at the top of the page:

<noinclude>{{Translation Bibliography}}</noinclude>

• The Bibliography Page will have the citations for all translations in a volume and will be submitted by the translator.

Format the bibliography with indents, italics, and bold as submitted by the translator.
