Why does "Original" link to "copyright violations" ? 68.39.174.238 00:13, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So a reader can realize that if it isn't original, it's a copyright violation (most probably).--Esprit15d 12:44, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the code

your contributions are more than welcome at {{SAFESUBST:<noinclude />#if:{{{2|}}}|the [[:{{{2}}}:{{SAFESUBST:<noinclude />ISO 639 name|{{{2}}}}} Wikipedia]]|a Wikipedia in that language (find it in the [[:meta:List of Wikipedias|list of Wikipedias]])}}

or more specifically the portion

the [[:{{{2}}}:{{SAFESUBST:<noinclude />ISO 639 name|{{{2}}}}} Wikipedia]]

If fed the value |2=de this emits "your contributions are more than welcome at the de:German Wikipedia". However, if you follow that link, the page doesn't exist. Similar things happen with other language codes, but there are some that do work - for example, with |2=fr we get "your contributions are more than welcome at the fr:French Wikipedia", and this works because the page does exist - it's a redirect to fr:Wikipédia en français. We can't rely on these pages existing, or even on there being suitable redirs, so I believe that the code is flawed. But with the simple addition of a pipe character,

the [[:{{{2}}}:|{{SAFESUBST:<noinclude />ISO 639 name|{{{2}}}}} Wikipedia]]

we can get this: "your contributions are more than welcome at the German Wikipedia".
