=== New/old edition separation ===
=== New/old edition separation ===


At the time of WikiCarpedia creation, the New Edition (aka Carcassonne II) has already been 3 years on the market. There is now a large group of Carcassonne fans that have never played the old edition. A restart of the complete annotated rules (CAR) is in place, but keep in mind that not all players are interested in the long and complicated history of Carcassonne 1.  
At the time of WikiCarpedia creation, the New Edition (aka Carcassonne II) has already been 3 years on the market. There is now in {{CURRENTYEAR}} a large group of Carcassonne fans that have never played the old edition. A restart of the complete annotated rules (CAR) is in place, but keep in mind that not all players are interested in the long and complicated history of Carcassonne 1.  


Naturally this approach means that a lot of things may have to be written twice (eg. Rules for main expansions). One of the benefits of this is that content regarding the old edition can have annotations that are not necessary for the new edition, while those for the new edition can have updated graphics and a more streamlined approach.

Example images are using template [[:Template:ExampleImage]] which allows to automatically resize image to size of tiles in a row. Also template use same style for name and description of image on every place where template is used.
<code><nowiki>{{ExampleImage|image=....|tiles=3|name=Example 1|description=Description of example}}</nowiki></code> create image for '''Example 1:''' Description of example, with size 400px calculated from parameters <code>tiles</code> which is multiplied by 133px. It shows frame on any place of page, but frame is hidden when example image is place in any of Rules blocks (C2 style).

As WkiCarpedia is multi language page. It's better to include link insead of <code>Hans im Gluck</code> use this <code><nowiki>{{Path|Hans in Gluck}}</nowiki></code> which includes link to translated page if source page is not in English.

When want to use same footnote on multiple places, you can create named reference <code><nowiki><ref name="base_game">With base game...</ref></code>. Later on another place where is required to insert exactly same footnote, insert <code><nowiki><ref name="base_game" /></nowiki></code> which creates a link to that reference (with same name).

The are five templates with appropriate colors:
* 1. Green - '''[[Template:RulesPlacingTile|RulesPlacingTile]]''' with translatable default title ''1. Placing a tile''
* 2. Blue - '''[[Template:RulesPlacingMeeple|RulesPlacingMeeple]]''' with translatable default title ''2. Placing a meeple''
** 2b. Pink - '''[[Template:RulesDragon|RulesDragon]]'''
* 3. Red - '''[[Template:RulesScoring|RulesScoring]]''' with translatable default title ''3. Scoring a feature''
* 4. Yellow - '''[[Template:RulesAction|RulesAction]]'''
 
Some of those templates can be used without parameters, which creates default title and default rules, when expansion not affect that phase.
 
<code><nowiki>
{{RulesPlacingTile}}
</nowiki></code>
 
{{RulesPlacingTile}}
 
<code><nowiki>
{{RulesPlacingMeeple}}

{{RulesPlacingMeeple}}
 
<code><nowiki>
{{RulesScoring}}
</nowiki></code>
 
{{RulesScoring}}
 
 
=== Other Expansions section ===
 
There are two ways how to define rules for interaction with other expansions.
 
==== 1. Each other expansion separately ====
 
This option shows interaction usually with one specific expansion with Link/Name defined in parameter <code>expansionlink</code>.<br />
Each <code>OtherExpansonRule</code> can have defined optional parameter <code>selectorid</code> which can be used for Interaction with Expansion Selector. For example <code>selectorid=showInns</code> shows this rule only, when in Expansion Selector is checked whole {{InnsCathedralsLink}} or at least {{Feature|name=Inn}} from {{InnsCathedralsName}}. Otherwise will be this rule box hidden.
 
<pre><nowiki>{{OtherExpansionRule|expansionlink={{InnsCathedralsLink|edition=C1|variant=long}}|rules=
{{IconBook}} When a player completes a road with one or more inns, the scoring player(s) receive 2 points per each well on this road (instead of the usual 1 point per well).<br />
{{IconBook}} During final scoring, incomplete roads with an inn on them do not score any points, including no points for wells.
}}</nowiki></pre>
 
This code generates:
 
{{OtherExpansionRule|expansionlink={{InnsCathedralsLink|version=C1|variant=long}}|rules=
{{IconBook}} When a player completes a road with one or more inns, the scoring player(s) receive 2 points per each well on this road (instead of the usual 1 point per well).<br />
{{IconBook}} During final scoring, incomplete roads with an inn on them do not score any points, including no points for wells.
}}
}}


The are four templates with appropriate colors:
Link with name is generated by parameter <code>expansionlink</code> and each of rules are prepended by icon represent type of rule, where <code><nowiki>{{IconBook}}</nowiki></code> creates icon {{IconBook}}.
* RulesPlacingTile
 
* RulesPlacingMeeple
==== 2. Other expansion section for multiple expansions ====
* RulesScoring
 
* RulesCropCircleAction
Sometime some General comments or General rule of thumb has to be defined without specify an exact expansion.
 
<pre><nowiki>{{OtherExpansionRule|expansionlink={{BaseGameLink|edition=C2|text=''}}General comments|rules=
{{IconWorld}} Ghosts can be added to the following meeples:
* Normal meeple, the standard option ('''{{BaseGameLink|edition=C3|logo=hide}}''')
* Abbot ('''{{AbbotLink|edition=C3|logo=hide}}''')
* ...
}}</nowiki></pre>

# '''Under Construction''' - an initial stage when the text, graphic and layout is being worked on by one or more contributors; this may be the conversion of existing content from the CAR, or creating new content for new expansions, etc.
# '''[[:Category:Under Construction|Under Construction]]''' - an initial stage when the text, graphic and layout is being worked on by one or more contributors; this may be the conversion of existing content from the CAR, or creating new content for new expansions, etc.
# '''Completed''' - the original contributor(s) sets this status once he has finished the creation of the page and feels they can do no more at this point

=== How to start with translation to my language ===
 
Page in English WikiCarpedia are used as source for translation to other languages. Before you start, it will be good to translate several [[:Category:Translatable templates|translatable templates]] which help translators with repeating texts like Expansion names, Expansion links, Feature / Figure / Piece names etc.
# [[:Category:Translatable templates]]
 
Starting with this also helps to understanding Carcassonne terminology and keep it consistent between pages in the same language.

=== How translate links ===
=== How translate: ===
There are two kinds of links, links that leads to other pages or year templates.
 
You can find both while translating a page, as there are sometimes notes about other expansions and with that we link to that certain page, where the information stands.
 
==== Pages ====
 
So this is a standard wiki link: [[Castles in Germany (1st edition)]]. This link is linking currently to the English page of "Castles in Germany (1st edition)", we want to link to the language we are translating in; So in this example to Polish.
 
While creating a all links has to use <code>[[:Template:Path]]</code> template, which generate link to page in current language of user:
<pre>
[[{{Path|Castles in Germany (1st edition)}}|Castles in Germany (1st edition)]]
</pre>
 
Now (during translation) it needs to be changed into a link with Polish name (link will be automatically redirected to Polish version of page), <s>so I put "/pl" behind the first part and</s> change the name in the second part to the Polish name of the expansion or page.
<pre>
<pre>
[[Castles in Germany (1st edition)]]
[[{{Path|Castles in Germany (1st edition)}}|Niemieckie Zamki]]
</pre> {{ColorRed|OR}} <pre> [[Castles in Germany (1st edition)|Castles in Germany]]
</pre>
</pre>
can be translated using label (polish example):


Now the link will direct to the Polish version: [[{{Path|Castles in Germany (1st edition)}}|Niemieckie Zamki]].
<strong>Note:</strong> The link to Niemieckie Zamki is now linking to English, because Editor manual is in English. If you insert this link to any Polish page, it will automatically create link to [[Castles in Germany (1st edition)/pl|Niemieckie Zamki]]. Direct linking including suffix with language code is not requested now. It's recommended to use <code><nowiki>{{Path|Castles in Germany (1st edition)}}</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>Castles in Germany (1st edition)/pl</nowiki></code>
==== Timeline - Year ... ====
A timeline link looks like this: {{Year|2001}}. This example is linked to Timeline in language of page where was this code inserted.
<pre>
<pre>
[[Castles in Germany (1st edition)/pl|Niemieckie Zamki]]
{{Year|2001}}
</pre>
</pre>


so the link to the correct page will be preserved.
==== Footnotes headings ====
 
You must use following template every time there are footnotes.
<pre>{{FootnoteIconPara}}</pre>
 
In translation tool, include original tag. This '''[[:Category:Translatable templates|template is translatable]]''' and you can create or update translation for your language [[Template:FootnoteIconPara|Template:FootnoteIconPara]]
 
More information about Footnote Headings: [[Editor manual#How to insert footnotes (template)|Editor manual - How to insert footnotes (template)]]
 
==== Edition-related categories ====


=== How to translate footnotes heading ===
<pre>
[[Category:First Edition]]
</pre>


In English version you must use following template every time there are footnotes. <pre>{{FootnoteIconPara_en}}</pre>
Are translated to:


In translation tool you need to change the name of the template. For example:
<pre>
[[Category:Erste Edition]]
</pre>
 
More information about Edition-related categories: [[Editor manual#Edition Categories|Editor manual - Edition Categories]]
==== Workflow categories ====


<pre>
<pre>
{{FootnoteIconPara_pl}}
[[Category:Completed]]
{{FootnoteIconPara_es}}
{{FootnoteIconPara_nl}}
</pre>
</pre>


If there is no template in your language it need to be created.
Are translated to:
 
<pre>
[[Category:Completed|Abgeschlossen]]
</pre>
