Template documentation

[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is useful to create a link to a multi-language page, not having yet a version in your (or other interested you) language. While a version in concern language does not exist, the link will direct each visitor to their language chosen in the settings. When a version in your language will be created, the link will be just to it.
