Editing a page and dealing with the translation system:

The system uses a markup system language to show things like headers, lists, etc. Here is some help with how to use the markup language:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting

In the markup language documentation it shows internal links with double square brackets:

[[link to other page]]

But because we have translation you have to do it a slightly different way:

[[Special:MyLanguage/link to other page|link to other page]]

This will pass along the language you see from one page to another and also mark the link text for translation. If you have links within a block that is marked with a translate 'tag' then there is no need to also put the translate tag in the actual link (it's not allowed).

Once a page has been made and it has the translate tags on it then you will see a 'mark for translation' link.
