Template:Full stop/doc

Note: This template is used on a lot of pages. In order not to put too much load on the servers, edits should be kept to a bare minimum. Please discuss proposed changes on the talk page first.

• Editing a template causes all pages that use the template to be re-rendered. If the template is used often, this can put a lot of load on the servers since it fills up the job queue.
• Keep in mind that templates that are used on file description pages also show up on other wikis.

This subpage contains documentation, categories, or other content that is not part of the template.
To view the template page itself, see Template:Full stop.

Localization

To add your language to the list of languages supported by this template, please edit the template and add a row to the "{{LangSwitch|}}" construct. It takes the form "|xx= Your translation " (xx being the code of your language)

Be especially careful about the usage and interpretation of the Latin full stop punctuation, because they will be confused with other punctuations (and sometimes with actual native letters or modifiers for other Latin punctuations) that non-Latin scripts prefer using (notably Armenian and Greek).

As well, simple spaces are interpreted as full stops in some East Asian scripts (except for embedded words borrowed from other scripts), so don't insert extra spaces between "words" or after full stops or any other common punctuation that these scripts use.
