The wording of this template is at odds with the contexts in which it is used... If all the articles that use this template (e.g. [[Communication channels]], [[:Category:Support]], etc.) are "part of the [[Support FAQ]]", shouldn't their contents be on the article of that name, or shouldn't they contain frequently asked question/answer pairs? Perhaps a better phrasing is "this article contains support information", or "this article is part of the support section of the website"? And could the font be smaller, more in line with the existing [[Template:Users]] or [[Template:OLPC]] templates? —[[User:Leejc|Joe]] 13:25, 7 January 2008 (EST)

There is already a global dropdown for google translations of any page on the site. Since we aim for /real/ [[translation]] navigation bars in the header, this was also confusing.

Better wording?

The wording of this template is at odds with the contexts in which it is used... If all the articles that use this template (e.g. Communication channels, Category:Support, etc.) are "part of the Support FAQ", shouldn't their contents be on the article of that name, or shouldn't they contain frequently asked question/answer pairs? Perhaps a better phrasing is "this article contains support information", or "this article is part of the support section of the website"? And could the font be smaller, more in line with the existing Template:Users or Template:OLPC templates? —Joe 13:25, 7 January 2008 (EST)

Translation links

There is already a global dropdown for google translations of any page on the site. Since we aim for /real/ translation navigation bars in the header, this was also confusing. I'm not sure where template:GTranslations is useful, considering the skin element; I'll leave a comment there as well. --Sj talk 12:12, 28 February 2008 (EST)
