WikiProject ESD / Wikipedia
Template fixing requires installing or fixing of templates on other language Wikis. This is required to make sure that articles display properly and have full functionality with links and images.
It is a non-language specific role, and requires some general knowledge of Templates and Modules and their use in Wiki mark-up.
Installing tempalates only needs to be once per Wikipedia, and is only needed on small or new Wikipedias. In the case you are on a larger Wikipedia and templates are not working it may be because they do not share the same format as the English ones. This can either be fixed or you can try to adapt the articles - a notable difficult Wikipedia is the Polish Wikipedia - see the Polish guide as an example from WikiProject Medicine.
Installing templates edit
Templates may be installed or they may be omitted/simplified. Some templates are important for references, and for linking to more information. We believe that these should not be deleted. Others such as TOC (table of content) lime can be removed.
Some template may be found on a hit and miss basis by going to the English Template page and looking for inter-wiki links.
In general templates should only be installed on small Wikis, while on larger Wikis a method should be developed, similar to the guide as has been done for Polish.
Link, reference and infobox templates are integral to the project, and need to be installed.
