[edit] definition
Please stop using this template. Replacing very simple links like Arabic saves a minimum of time and puts unnecessary strain on the servers. Worst of all, people use this template to replace existing links, which is unbelievably pointless.

Use {{ar}} instead, please. dab (ᛏ) 12:52, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
- I guess I'm not really getting it but I'm not really getting it! I dont see the diff. on either of them. how should the arabic names then be formatted? (ar هيان بن بيان) as such? let me know please. Wilis.azm 06:02, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] deprecate
use {{lang|ar|...}}, we don't want the clutter of a separate template for every language on earth. dab (ᛏ) 11:42, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- That would be an okay replacement if it adds the correct CSS classes and language name. The replacement that was suggested on the template was much longer, so I don't think anybody is going to use it. Anyway, I can't see a good reason not to have these specific templates for major languages. Kusma (討論) 06:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
