	I know that this descriptor was created so that it would not be necessary to make a copy in different languages, but I can't figure out a way to link to Spanish category pages exclusively without translating the template and thereby exclude it from English categories. Is there a way to do that without having to translate the template and then go through all the pages that would need the translated template? --[[User:W126jep\|w126jep]] ([[User talk:W126jep\|talk]]) 22:41, 30 July 2015 (EDT)		I know that this descriptor was created so that it would not be necessary to make a copy in different languages, but I can't figure out a way to link to Spanish category pages exclusively without translating the template and thereby exclude it from English categories.

	:Yeah, I think I can manage that. The approach would be to use titleparts (or pagename) and run that through a switch looking for one of the eight IA sections (Making Friends). If it's none of those, then the last part of the pagename should be the language, and we can tack it on to the category. I'll give that a go and see what happens. --[[User:Jomegat\|Jomegat]] ([[User talk:Jomegat\|talk]]) 19:16, 31 July 2015 (EDT)		:Yeah, I think I can manage that.

	:I use the Gimp for making transparent backgrounds (free software, decent replacement for Photoshop, kinduva steep learning curve). Every single one of the honor patches were jpeg's when I got them, so I had to convert them all. As for Tagalog et al, that's what I was thinking when I proposed "synthetic" class strips. Kind like [[Sandbox/Class strip]], but templatized to take the class name and level (class name would be displayed, level would be used for figuring out the colors). It looks a bit cartoony though. Maybe a different font face and different colors would help. --[[User:Jomegat\|Jomegat]] ([[User talk:Jomegat\|talk]]) 21:58, 25 November 2014 (EST)		:I use the Gimp for making transparent backgrounds (free software, decent replacement for Photoshop, kinduva steep learning curve).
