			*Consistency in translating words, phrases and concepts aids clarity of suggestions given by translation memory (suggestions).

			*The number of people who have reviewed a translation is shown near the review action for each message
			*Users can only review translations they haven't made themselves. Multiple people can review any translation.

			:Filled (black) check-mark means that you have already marked the translation as reviewed.

 *Syntax is '''<nowiki><tvar|name>contents</></nowiki>'''. For translators these will show up only as $name, and in translation pages will automatically be replaced by the value defined in the translatable page (so they are global "constants" across all its translation pages). Variables can be used to hide untranslatable content in the middle of a translation unit. It also works for things like numbers that need to be updated often. You can update the number in all translations by changing the number in the translatable page source and re-marking the page. You do not need to invalidate translations, because the number is not part of the translation unit pages. Example:

=== Tagging ===
*Anyone can mark the '''translatable parts''' by wrapping them inside '''<nowiki><translate>...</translate></nowiki>''' tags;
*Add '''<nowiki><languages /></nowiki>''' to produce a list of all translations of the page;
*The translatable page will be listed on '''Special:PageTranslation''' as ready for marking.

=== Tag placing ===
*If possible, try to put the '''tags on their own lines''', with no empty lines between the content and the tags.
*If not possible, do like this for example:

<nowiki>{{Template|<translate>Some localised parameter</translate>}}</nowiki>
