It might be a good idea to add a function or functions to generate lists or tables of languages. WT:LANG has three important listings that are likely to contain out-of-date information at any particular time.
- WT:LANG#List of languages with exceptional codes
- WT:LANG#List of appendix-only constructed languages
- WT:LANG#List of languages with multiple names}
There’s also the big WT:LANGLIST. Would be nice if they could be generated automatically from the source. —Michael Z. 2013-06-02 22:07 z
- It's definitely possible, but does it really belong in this module if it's only used for that one page? —CodeCat 22:08, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
- That’s two pages, including the big list which is now becoming obsolete.
- A separate module would be okay too, but if such utility scripts are flexible enough to use elsewhere, it makes sense to bundle them here. Unless that adversely affects performance.
- Might also be useful to output a single language’s vital statistics, for pages like Category:English language and WT:About English. —Michael Z. 2013-06-02 22:20 z
- I'm thinking more of something that would replace what
{{langt}}
used to do. Apart from showing all the bits of information associated with the code, it would check for certain pieces of information and add the code to a category if it were missing. So it would show which languages needed a script, or which needed a family, and so on. We can't use categories anymore, but we can make a page that is automatically filled by the function depending on the information, so we could make lists. —CodeCat 22:24, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
