Categorization of templates

I think the categorization of templates is currently quite poor.

  • After these changes have been made, the sections at Wiktionary:Templates should be updated to match.

English

  • car, sense 8 ("aggregate of desirable characteristics"): Can't any marketable noun be used this way?
Collections

There are some terms that are being discussed at RFDE, each of which is representative of a group of terms that could be nominated for the same reason as the original. Assuming that the original fails, I want to nominate the other members of each group.

List tagged terms

RFM

2023-02: I want to hold off on listing these terms until RFM is smaller.

All terms in the following categories should be listed at RFM:

RFC

All terms in Category:Requests for cleanup in English entries should be listed at WT:RFC.

Lacking explanation

These terms were tagged but never listed with no explanation given for why in the tag or edit summary, and for which the tagger is active (last edit within a month or so). I have pinged the tagger to get their input. If I get no response within two weeks or so, I think it is reasonable to simply remove the tag.

None

For terms for which no explanation can be found and the tagger is inactive, I find it reasonable to remove their tags immediately.

Categorize shortenings

Some acronyms and initialisms do not use {{acronym of}} or {{initialism of}}, and are therefore not appropriately categorized. I've used one of my Python scripts to find all English senses for terms that consist only of two uppercase English letters, where the sense is not labelled as an initialism and does not use {{acronym of}} or {{initialism of}}.

Add pronunciations

Requested

Requests listed at Category:Requests for pronunciation in English entries.

Common

I've also created a list of words that appear at least 256 times in English Wikisource works from the 1700s or later, but which do not yet have English pronunciations.

Add homophones

See User:ExcarnateSojourner/Entries lacking homophones.

Add audio pronunciations

Based on Category:Requests for audio pronunciation in English entries. I do not know when I might get around to recording these, so do not consider them reserved or anything.

Potential future projects

  • Many English appendices do not have English in their title when they ought to.
  • In categorizing appendices, I have come across several that are just lists of existing mainspace entries, which might be better handled (and maybe already are!) using categories instead.
