Welcome to '''WikiProject Transwiki''', a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] for helping with the transwiki process outside of the Wikimedia family. This is done by explaining how to import and export articles, linking to help with [[MediaWiki]] software, prepping templates for use outside of Wikipedia, listing available resources (including editors willing to help), and much more.

''It should be noted that if you wish to have the below on a wiki that you administrate for or likewise, you must get the parser function available [http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions here] or this will '''not work'''.

#'''Template "pack"''' - a pack of commonly used templates that is pure wikicode and ready to be imported via xml file. We'll need to identify which templates should go into this basic pack. Some templates might require converting into pure-wiki table code, or for simplification.

Common.js doesn't seem to be loaded for MediaWiki 1.7.1, I got collapsable tables to work by cutting and pasting that section of code into MediaWiki:Monobook.js

Many Wikipedia templates cannot be directly exported to other wikis because they include HTML code within a parser function that does not translate across wikis.  Wikipedia has a "tidy" pass that cleans up HTML code.  Without that pass, HTML code within templates get translated into quoted tags that get displayed.

*[[/Template:Shortcut compact]] - April 3, 2011 <small>(The template itself is portable, but since it contains HTML table code, it causes problems when used inside parser function code, such as in the examples on the [[Template:Shortcut compact/doc|template documentation subpage]] when transcluded onto the template page by {{Tl|Documentation}}. The portable version removes these worries.)</small>
 +
 +
==== Coding example ====
 +
 +
{{Tl|Information}} has several lines with non-portable HTML table tags:
 +
 +
<nowiki>{{#switch: {{{Other_versions| {{{other_versions| {{{other versions|}}} }}} }}}
 +
|  =
 +
| - =
 +
| none =
 +
| #default =
 +
<tr valign="top">
 +
<th style="background: #ccf; text-align: right; padding-right: 0.4em;" id="fileinfotpl_ver"> Other versions </th>
 +
<td> {{{Other_versions| {{{other_versions| {{{other versions|}}} }}} }}} </td>
 +
</tr>
 +
}}</nowiki>
 +
 +
These lines conditionally display the "Other versions" row of the image information table with a <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##switch|#switch:...]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> statement. To make the template portable, change the offending lines to use wikitext table code, and use {{Tl|!}} to encode the table [[Vertical bar|pipe characters]]:
 +
 +
<nowiki>{{#switch: {{{Other_versions| {{{other_versions| {{{other versions|}}} }}} }}}
 +
|  =
 +
| - =
 +
| none =
 +
| #default =
 +
{{!}}- valign="top"
 +
! style="background: #ccf; text-align: right; padding-right: 0.4em;" id="fileinfotpl_ver" {{!}} Other versions
 +
{{!}} {{{Other_versions| {{{other_versions| {{{other versions|}}} }}} }}}
 +
{{!}}
 +
}}</nowiki>
 +
 +
The <code>!</code> table code characters do not themselves need encoding. The same goes for pipe characters that are part of the template code itself. Only the pipe characters that are part of the table syntax need encoding.

* Unofficial bundles of the extensions in the Wikimedia [[Subversion#The_repository|SVN repository]] can sometimes be found on the [[tools:~daniel/repository/extensions/|toolserver]]. These bundles are arbitrary snapshots, so keep in mind they might contain a broken version of the extension (just as if you load them from the developer's repository directly).
