No description yet available.

The template automatically sets the following categories:

• Category:Language templates with no text displayed (if parameter #1 is empty)

Usage

{{en |1= }}

Template parameters

Parameter	Description		Default	Status
1	text			required
inline	inline		empty	optional

Template data

Parameter text is empty Adds "English" in front of the text written in [[:Template:Language]]. Also adds machine-readable tags identifying the text as being written in [[:Template:Language]]. Template parameters[Edit template data] This template prefers inline formatting of parameters. Parameter Description Type Status text 1 Text to be displayed. Default <span class="error">(missing text)</span> String required inline inline Optional boolean flag, false by default. When set to "true" (or "1", "t", "yes", "y", "on", etc. ), forces the template to be displayed inline, so that it does not break the current paragraph (that makes possible to put several descriptions side by side on a single line). Set to "false" (or "0", "f", "no", "n", "off", etc. ) or omit or leave blank, and each language will be in a separate line. Line optional

Parameter #1

• Existing "1=" shall not be removed, even if it is not necessary, see Special:Diff/592488152#removing_1=.
• when no free "="-sign occurs in the text the "1=" is obsolete. Not-free equal signs (inside of template transclusions) don't count.
• without the "1=" but with one or more equal signs, no parameter #1 can be detected, and the error "parameter #1 is empty" is categorized.
• As another error, a superflous pipe "|" character converts it to the contrary:

• while e.g. {{en | some text | }} will be understood,
• {{en |1=some text | }} causes the same error "parameter #1 is empty".

Required or necessary

When a parameter is required the template documentation expresses it with a line in the table, which left column shows the parameter name, then a textual description for the parameter value, and right the code (in this case) "required".

• A named parameter needs to be specified by name=, which may as well be an alias,
• a positional parameter is specified either by its position or by the positional number (e.g. 1=, 2=, 3=...). With other words: the parameter value is required, the parameter name (= the number) is optional; it cannot be required and not even suggested but it becomes necessary (another thing than the un/requiredness in the sense of template documentation!) when (and only when) the parameter value string contains a "free equal sign" (an equal sign outside of another template).
  The positional number is also necessary when positional parameters are specified outside of their positional order, e.g. |2= |1= |3=

Example
