* Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 560 articles in the main category, and specifying`|topic=` will aid in categorization.
* Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
* You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary is `Content in this edit is translated from the existing Portuguese Wikipedia article at [[:pt:Maxixe (Moçambique)]]; see its history for attribution.`
