Can someone get the text to display as a normal {{non-gloss definition}} line when it comes to linking to the entries? For example, if I mention an entry, it will look like this. Thanks! (parla con me) 14:41, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
The reason I did that is because English terms should not be tagged in definitions. I have special CSS that highlights all language-tagged parts of a page, so it's glaringly obvious. —Rua (mew) 19:18, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

lang was changed from nil to a language object in the first evaluation of the loop body. I can change it so it does what you intended. — Eru·tuon 19:22, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
In აკაკი (aḳaḳi), the definition line "A male given name, equivalent to English Acacius" is completely italicized, but it should look like "A male given name, equivalent to English Acacius", with Acacius un-italicized. I tried to do this, but it has the undesirable effect of un-italicizing and bolding Acacius, because of a rule similar to .use-with-mention .mention { font-weight: bold; } in MediaWiki:Common.css. The CSS rule is intended for definitions where there is a single .mention that is a lemma or main entry, but it probably needs a more specific class than .mention, because as in this template there are sometimes terms in .use-with-mention that are not lemmas or main entries that should be bolded. But adding one would be a big job, because it would require changing all the templates that currently rely on this rule. Leaving this note in case I decide to try to solve this issue. — Eru·tuon 18:10, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
@Benwing2 The documentation for {{given name}} says I can use |dimtr= to manually transliterate what I entered in |dim=, but when I try to do so at מירל, I get a module error saying the template doesn't use that parameter. Help! —Mahāgaja · talk 07:51, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
{{given name}} and forgot to update the docs. I'll do that now. You should write dim=מרים<tr:Miryem>. The reason I switched this is that the new syntax allows a lot more flexibility than the separate-param syntax, in particularly in the |from= parameter, which can take multiple names in different languages to indicate a chain of derivation.

<tr:xyz> work inside {{col3}}, {{col4}} and that whole family? It's long been a drawback that transliterations can't be specified there. —Mahāgaja · talk 18:29, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
Currently it's hard if not impossible to browse only the actual given names of a given sex that are not diminutives. For example, Jani is categorized under given names, male given names, and diminutives of male given names. I think the first two are not useful, only the third. Could someone fix the code to achieve this? (Possibly @Benwing2?) Adam78 (talk) 15:11, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
Can someone assist with consolidating all given names into subcategories of "Names by language" instead of some being in "Names", per Wiktionary:Requests for moves, mergers and splits#Continuation_of_#Category:en:Names_into_Category:English_names? Something like Vladimir should be in a category like "English male given names transliterated from Russian" rather than "en:Russian male given names", compare / contrast Vadim which is already in "English male given names from Slavic languages" rather than "en:Slavic male given names". - -sche (discuss) 14:47, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
{{auto cat}}. — excarnateSojourner (talk · contrib) 17:03, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Since the definitions on wiktionary are glosses and not fully explained definitions, would it make sense to omit the initial article?
For example instead of
{{given name|aii|male}}
rendering
a male given name
it would render
male given name
This would achieve greater consistency with glossing norms ColumbaBush (talk) 01:26, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
