Topic on Talk:Content translation

Hello,

i have empty refs here after translation.

https://uk.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D0%B2_%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%B3%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%85&oldid=25016019

What can I do, so it can be translated normally?

?? This lead to https://uk.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D0%B2_%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%B3%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%85&oldid=25016019 that is an existing russian page. Whats the problem then ?

1) its ukrainian page

2) look at the references. There are 2 empty (red) references.

I guess {{Cite journal is expecting parameters. Are you sure it is ok ?

See https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A8%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD:Cite_journal#%D0%9E%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81

Example:
<ref>{{Cite journal|title = Mortality in mental disorders and global disease burden implications: a systematic review and meta-analysis|url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25671328|journal = JAMA psychiatry|date = 2015-04-01|issn = 2168-6238|pmc = 4461039|pmid = 25671328|pages = 334-341|volume = 72|issue = 4|doi = 10.1001/jamapsychiatry.2014.2502|first = Elizabeth Reisinger|last = Walker|first2 = Robin E.|last2 = McGee|first3 = Benjamin G.|last3 = Druss}}  {{Open access}}</ref>

Yes, so what can I do , so the parameters will be transfered during translation?

Sorry, I do see no parameter associated to '{{Cite journal' for the corresponding faulty links.

<ref name="Ram04">{{Cite journal}}</ref>

So, how can we fix this bug?

Thanks for the feedback, @Alex Blokha

Templates are used to structure the references content. The problem is that templates are independent on each wiki. So for transferring a template across two different languages, Content translation has to (a) find the equivalent template and (b) find the equivalent parameters between the templates in each language to copy the information.

For example in this case, the Cite Journal template is missing templateData. TemplateData captures metadata about the template parameters. For Content translation to work in this case, you need to fill the templateData information ("Manage template data" option after editing the template) for the Ukrainian template, describe the parameters and include an alias with the Russian name for those parameters that have a different name so that Content translation can find the mapping.

We work for mapping templates automatically as much as possible, but without metadata there is not much we can do. For the cases not supported we are working to flag them better in the tool, surface incomplete information, avoid confusing previews, and improving documentation in general.

Please let me know if you have any further question.

Just to note, russian names are not used here:
