Project boxes
Please keep your mouse inside the green box while on the tour! Thank you. |
These project boxes are for resources which help people learn second or foreign languages. The Wikiversity project boxes system allows you to insert an easy and attractive project box into your resource which does a lot of handy things behind the scenes, such as classifying your resource and making it accessible in the navigation system. Just follow the easy instructions below. Purpose of these project boxesedit

Modifying language project boxeseditChanging the flageditOne of the problems with language project boxes is that they use country flags as icons, but languages are often spoken in more than one country. Wikimedia Commons has started a hybrid flags project which combines the flags of different countries into one icon, but this project is incomplete and doesn't altogether solve the problem. For example, Spanish and English are spoken in more countries than could ever be combined attractively into a single icon of country flags. To get round this, effectively you are free to change the icon on resources which you have largely created yourself. For example, if you are Canadian, you may prefer to put a Canadian flag on your ESL resources. You can do it like this:
{{esl|icon=Nuvola Canada flag.svg}} Changing the articleeditThe text normally reads "this is a [language] resource". What if the language begins with a vowel? Can you change to "an" when creating the project box? Yes - just add "article=an" into your paramater list. <language_box|article=an> Requests for new languageseditCan't create a project box? Then just request it here instead. Please sign your name with ~~~~ after your request.
