I have asked some one translate the words and they have and have done the end box all I have to do is redo the end box because it is missing some bits from end box and I have to also add module and user and file support to it on module [[Special:Contributions/109.151.161.64|109.151.161.64]] ([[User talk:109.151.161.64|talk]]) 18:49, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Change "Subpages of this page." to "Subpages of this page" and "Subpages of this template." to "Subpages of this template", because according to [[MOS:FULLSTOP]], a mere fragment of a sentence shouldn't end in a full stop. Now I don't know if the manual of style applies to templates too, but there you go.

:This warrants some discussion first, so disabled request. The line would look 'unfinished' without the full stop. <span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:Edokter|<span style="color:#008"><i>E</i>dokter</span>]] ([[User talk:Edokter|<span style="color:#080">talk</span>]]) — </span> 14:59, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
::I really couldn't care less. If someone want to replace it with a ; or something go right ahead, or leave it as is. As long as there is something of a separator between components. The MoS does not apply to the 'meta' world as far as I know. I would say, that as long as no one has ever been confused about the function of the link due to the language, it is very low priority (in lieu of the possibility of actually starting to confuse people). —[[User:TheDJ|Th<span style="color: green">e</span>DJ]] ([[User talk:TheDJ|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TheDJ|contribs]]) 15:16, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
:::I'd prefer expanding "Subpages of..." to "List subpages of..." so it becomes an imperative statement and no longer a fragment. The problem with removing the full stop is that the phrase would then become inconsistent with the sentence before it.
:::The guideline you refer to is about standalone fragments in lists or captions. Where a full sentence and a fragment are combined like this I think the rule on [[WP:Manual of Style#Formatting of captions|sentence fragments in captions]] is most applicable: "If any complete sentence occurs in a caption, all sentences and any sentence fragments in that caption should end with a period."
:::Regarding whether the MOS applies to non-articles, I think technically it does not. However, that doesn't mean project pages are a wild west without any consistency. Common sense should be used. Often it is convenient to apply the same guidelines we use in articles to project pages where sensible to do so. – '''[[User:PartTimeGnome|PartTimeGnome]]''' <span style="font-size:79%">([[User talk:PartTimeGnome|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/PartTimeGnome|contribs]])</span> 20:53, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
