Hey there. Why did you create a

{{Binary}}

template instead of using the

{{Lazarus Documentation}}

template?

---Trev (talk)

The page templates are used for uniform categorization among languages. I mean, you could use Template:LanguageBar directly, but then you had to manually keep categorizations among localized pages in sync. I hate this approach, though, as it clutters the template namespace, there’s a very limited set of page that’ll eventually transclude a template (so semantically it isn’t a template), and last but not least, MediaWiki (meanwhile) knows a language extension.

So why invent a new template for every page when the

{{Lazarus Documentation}}

template appears to do the same job? That is, it adds the required language bar entries automatically.
