=== Supported languages ===
 
This wiki currently supports
 
*English
 
*Polish (/pl)
 
*French (/fr)
 
*Russian (/ru)
 
*German(/de)
 
*Czech (/cs)
 
*Spanish (/es)
 
 
==== Creating a translated page ====
 
To create a new page for your language visit the corresponding page in English, edit your address bar to include the language code
 
Here's one Example - Visit the [[Example]] page then edit the top url from
 
<pre>http://www.spaceengineerswiki.com/index.php?title=Example</pre>
 
Add '''/de''' to create the german page
 
<pre>http://www.spaceengineerswiki.com/index.php?title=Example/de</pre>
 
<nowiki>http://www.spaceengineerswiki.com/index.php?</nowiki>title=Example'''/de''' to create the german page.  You can then create a redirect page if one does not exist that will redirect the page title to the properly located page.
 
 
Another example - If no page for Creative Mode was available in German you could create the page [[Creative Mode/de]] then redirect the page [[Kreativmodus]] to Creative Mode/de. By using the <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Creative Mode/de]]</nowiki> syntax. For redirects to work, nothing else is allowed on the page. The page must be completely empty except for that redirect code to the translated page.
 
 
:*Note: If the link for the translated page does not appear on the right for the English page you can force the page to refresh by adding ?action=purge to the url. For example, if you create [[Example/de]] you can go to [[Example]] and paste ?action=purge, so your url would look like -
 
<pre>http://www.spaceengineerswiki.com/index.php?title=Example?action=purge</pre>
 
This will reset the automatic language links for that page.
 
 
:*To replace the page display name, you can place this code in your translated page to force-change the name of the page. Replace '''pagename''' with the translated page name.
 
<pre>&#123;&#123;DISPLAYTITLE:''pagename''&#125;&#125;</pre>

== Page Deletion ==
 
 
If a page needs to be deleted mark the page with the &#123;&#123;delete|''reason''&#125;&#125; tag. This will put a notice on the page so an administrator may evaluate it and delete it if needed. Replace reason with your actual reason for page deletion.
