This is a template that is meant to substitute itself into other templates. It is not intended to be used in actual entries. It's only there to make my life easier when adding lines to translation sections.

It may need to be renamed, I just picked a name that's not likely to interfere with anything.

[edit]

I don't know what these templates are for, they're not used anywhere and have no documentation. —CodeCat 12:14, 25 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • There's some rudimentary documentation at Template talk:poly. It looks like {{poly}} was intended to create translation lines (and {{polyc}} to create "translation to be checked" lines), and they were intended to always be substed, which explains why they're not transcluded anywhere. Anyway, probably no one uses them anymore, and they don't seem to work properly anyway, so delete. —Angr 13:02, 25 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
If that's how they are then sure, delete. User: PalkiaX50 talk to meh 13:09, 25 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
