Basic language is English.

By default, the source text and the name of the page are created in English.

To create the source text in another (non-English) language, it is necessary to use the prefix in the page name:
language code - exclamation mark - space.
The language code must begin with a capital letter.
For example: "Fr! "   "De! "   "Ru! "

Pages can have translations into other languages, which are subpages of the source page. The subpage name is the language code.
For example: "/fr"   "/de"   "/ru"

Prefixes intended for creating texts in other languages are language prefixes. The name of each language prefix is the system language code, starting with a capital letter with an exclamation point and a space after it. For example: "Fr! "   "De! "   "Ru! "

Additionally, you can read About languages in MediaWiki and Language codes.

Each page can have subpages. The full name of the subpage is obtained by adding a slash and the subpage name: ParentPageName/SubpageName

Subpages that are translations of the source page for which the name of the subpage is a language code are called “language subpages”.

If the series of pages has a special non-language English prefix, the language code follows this prefix through a space, for example: 

Project:Task-NNN Fr! Système de tâches

For example, without language prefix:

  • Source page - English
  • Source page/fr - translation of "Source page" in French
  • Source page/de - translation of "Source page" in German

For example, with the prefix "Fr! ":

  • Fr! Page source Fr - French
  • Fr! Page source Fr/de - translation of "Fr! Page source Fr" in German
  • Fr! Page source Fr/en - translation of "Fr! Page source Fr" in English

For example, with a special prefix and a language prefix "De! ":

  • Art De! Quellseite De - German
  • Art De! Quellseite De/fr - translation of "Art De! Quellseite De" in French
  • Art De! Quellseite De/it - translation of "Art De! Quellseite De" in Italian
