This template is generated by {{Expand language}}. It is used to mark articles that are better in {{{1}}} Misplaced Pages than in English Misplaced Pages, and thus should be translated from {{{1}}} into English.

Usage

To mark an article, tag it near the end (bottom) with

{{Expand {{{1}}}|{{{1}}}articletitle|date=January 2025}}

This template marks an opportunity, not a fault. It is less important than a stub mark. Therefore it should not be used as an urgent warning in the beginning of articles.

This template places articles in the category ].

Because of this, the template should be added to the article page, and not to the Talk page.

Optional parameters

Foreign language featured articles can be marked using fa=yes, as in

{{Expand {{{1}}}|fa=yes|date=January 2025}}
