Hi, Mglovesfun.
I see you're also "all around" :).
Answering your question, yes, I would like to have my category interwiki bot running here: en.wikt has the advantage of having a rich categorization, thus allowing "centralization" of interwikis which can then be used for other Wiktionaries.
Maybe I didn't ask in the proper place but I followed the recommendation I read at WT:BOT to ask for consensus at WT:BP. It's quite obvious to all bot operators that bots are not exactly welcome here. I had that experience in the past.
Interwicket does its work in the main namespace just fine. VolkovBot does a more complicated work and my opinion is that one bot is not enough (take a look at the hundreds of bots in Wikipedias, and they all have a significant share of work done).
Bottom line: if you are willing to help me setting up a voting, I'll thank you a lot. I still hope to get authorization to have my bot running here. But if I don't, I already got used to the idea :).
Cheers, Martin, and thanks again! --Malafaya 15:38, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Admittedly i got far ahead of myself, before studying any tutorial, and no doubt mucked up an entry or two. My intention was to document the word "kuknagis" which was remembered by my godmother at a family gathering recently. i would mostly like to see that word documented somewhere, and i may sporadically try to add documentation to others as my schedule permits.

Hello. I found an error in the bot - it has created incorrect pages, so I have disabled it temporarily. Please can you delete (not move, it will take a long time) these pages. They'd better link to aiguiser. --Rising Sun 18:57, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
Did you mean that galet and galette are fro or fr? If fr, they go in =Decendents= (if they're derived from fro gal), not =Derived terms=. (We currently have them listed as fr, which is why I ask.)—msh210℠ 19:22, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
We already have it, take a look. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:01, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
{{paleontology}}. I created {{palaeontology}} and {{palæontology}} to allow consistency of spelling in entries. Specifically, I created {{palæontology}} for archæopteryx (as you can see, it is the only entry that transcludes the template); accordingly, I envisioned {{paleontology}} for archeopteryx and {{palaeontology}} for archaeopteryx. (As for archaiopteryx, I don’t know; palaiontology sees some use, so {{palaiontology}} is doable, though I don’t really care either way. Also, the ‘ai’ parallel is only applicable to terms from Ancient Greek — Latin would only have ‘ae’, ‘æ’, and ‘e’, etymologically — so there is a potential problem with consistency if we allow {{palaiontology}} &c.) I kept the category at Category:Paleontology, however, since I do not consider it worth dividing a category’s content for the sake of spelling consistency (FWIW, I’d præfer the category to be at Category:Palaeontology, though I’m not too bothered). Can you think of a better way to allow such spelling consistency without nearly triplicating the template? † ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 19:56, 29 August 2009 (UTC)As you may have guessed by now I did mean pedas. In Malay the words used for spicy hot and temperature hot are different. It's been a while since I've used or studied Malay but as you may guess it's not something you tend to forget (and in any case I later verified it with a dictionary). In fact you can check this yourself if you wish :-) Nil Einne 09:52, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
i think that you need to careful and not be http://en.wiktionary.orghttps://dictious.com/en/overzealous with deleting enteries without contact. the word i used is a http://en.wikipedia.orghttps://dictious.com/en/Colloquialism. please do not delete it again.
Hello. Please can you delete all the conjugated pages here for immiscer. I erred, thinking it was -er, but it is -cer. I will redo this later as -cer verb. Thanks --Rising Sun 14:03, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
About the capitalisation of comments the bot puts while changing interwikis, it could be modified but the problem is it will affect every bot using Pywikipedia and also all Wikis (Wikipedias included). While doable, maybe it's not desirable to have such an impact without consensus. Malafaya 17:16, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
But . . . but . . . the cats' names are say, Bengal (instead of Bengal cat), Somali (instead of Somali cat), etc. so I move the content to the proper name and then {{delete}} the bad titles. Or if there isn't a page at the better title then the old one becomes a redirect. What do you mean by "aren't delete candidates"? L☺g☺maniac chat? 22:13, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
I know about the Neologisms rule but I thought it was a valid word....checking again, the source I had probably isn't valid, so I guess it's a Neologism. Sorry.--Occono 00:22, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
You removed my translation in this page. I'm not aware of a strict rule against translations in non-English entries.

Looks proper now, but still undefined. Is explanation for etymology and, especially, the current usage too encyclopedic? Please fix it if you like. The definition of the term is "recently established political jargon with ethnological, non-pejorative conotation*, descriptive characteristics, with a wide following on Internet and to a much lesser level on 'classic' media"
There used (and still is) a Macedonian group within Greek people ] The majority of people of modern day (FY) Republic of Macedonia, their Government and governmental heritage institution claim that there is an "=" sign between Macedonians of Alexander the Great and today's Slavic-Speaking Macedonians of (FY) Macedonia, which defies history, ethnology and linguistics. The term implies that the Macedonians of today are not THE original Macedonians, whose name, language, pre-Christian (Olympian) religion were Greek and who gave a lot of self-declared Greeks.

If you're going to move an unpatrolled entry, such as Frog rain → frog rain, could you please patrol the entry first? Once it's moved the initial entry effectively becomes unpatrolable. Later edits can be patrolled, but there appears to be a bug in the MW software that won't let me patrol that initial entry once it's been moved. — Carolina wren discussió 20:30, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

What? I wrote on the Talk page that this seems to be the only dictionary that defines "affair" this way, and then it's deleted for not being relevant?

I noticed that you recently created quite a few of these. In case you have more you plan on doing, I'd like to point out they aren't invariant common nouns, but proper nouns. Don't let the lack of capitalization fool you, especially since most of the language names in Catalan do triple duty as adjective (of the group that speaks the language, or the associated country if there is one), noun (a member of that ethnic group) and proper noun (language) with the adjective and noun having the full set of four forms (m, f, mpl, and fpl). Don't worry about going back over the ones you added already, as I'll want to add pronunciations and etymologies when I can anyway, and link to alternative Valencian forms of which there are quite a few. (All the languages that end in -ès like they would in Occitan does have Valencian forms ending in -és like Spanish does.) — Carolina wren discussió 06:57, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

{{topic cat}}While working in the merge of boats and ships into watercraft, I noticed that when you created Category:fr:Boats a few months ago, you indicated the language via an unnamed parameter. while that would make sense, {{topic cat}} uses named parameters only so it needed lang=fr not fr Don't know if that was a one off error or not, but figured you'd be likelier to know, so I thought I'd tell you. — Carolina wren discussió 04:09, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
{{infl}}, you can do {{infl|2=noun|1=ca}} and it does the same thing. That actually does come in helpful sometimes, but not with infl. Anyway, if I forgot lang=fr, it was an error. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:39, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Real thanks for your encouraging and constructive message (on October the 20th). And yes, I also contribute on the French base. French is my second best language. I'm essentially trying to improve the translations of Finnish words but occationally other things as well. I hope to add more than just bare translations: deeper insights, tips for foreign learners. Don't you worry, I really enjoy beeing a Wiktionarist.

Je t'aimais bien autrefois, mais ton comportement récent sur fr: me dégoute. Si je n'avais pas peur du ridicule, j'affirmerais que ton objectif est de détruire le Wiktionnaire afin que la version anglophone du Wiktionary soit "enfin" la seule à régner.

Hmmm, I'm not sure what you mean. The bot simply spreads interwikis among Wiktionaries. The work of actually finding them is done semi-manually (by me :)). Today, you should be seeing ro.wikt interwikis appearing in some categories. Sorry if I misunderstood your words. Malafaya 18:22, 26 October 2009 (UTC) P.S.: There seems to be a bigger concern at pt.wikt of linking categories to other wiktionaries , so maybe that's what you mean: new interwikis from pt.wikt appearing here all the time.

You can put templates in other templates, like {{vulgar|dated|lang=fr}}. You need lang=fr because English is the default. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:22, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Where did you get that etymology from? I've never heard of it being related to Germanic words for hill. Ƿidsiþ 08:20, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Inflection templates are intimately connected with Greek grammar, pages about Greek templates (and grammar) were spread across the two namespaces - so I was rationalising. When I wrote About Greek it was suggested that it should be in the Appendix namspace - so policy may have changed or firmed up? Wiktionary:Namespace could be made a little clearer. Lastly, it helps users to point them to where the guidance is - they will probably more receptive to requests put a little less bluntly :) —Saltmarshαπάντηση 17:22, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
I noticed in this edit you changed {{infl|fr|suffix|sort=ment}} to {{infl|fr|suffixe|sort=ment}}. While adding the e as a kludge was needed at one time, {{infl}} has been smart enough for over a year to not need it for suffixes, prefixes, infixes, or affixes. — Carolina wren discussió 02:19, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
