Hi! I've stumbled upon your User page and it looks like you're Templateman, and interested in cuneiform too! If you have some free time to help a guy who's drowning in the ocean of Wiktionary's templates, could you get in touch? I've decided to add a lot more Akkadian and cuneiform on Wiktionary, but i need help with fixing and creating new templates. Despite having read about them and sort of understood the basics, I don't seem to be able to get those template do what I would like them to do, and I'm too scared of messing everything up to even try to create new ones. I'll be pottering around, let me know if you get in the mood for some charity! I need help! :D Sartma (talk) 00:27, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for my attitude here. I get the feeling that you felt annoyed or somewhat intimidated by my griping and my high‐horse attitude in general, so you had to make a concession just to get me off of your case. Also, skimming the thread there, I was way too hostile and I honestly suspect that I was just trying to pick a fight rather than get a constructive discussion going. (Calling Equinox ‘pisshead’ and making a guess about his taste in television was completely unnecessary and immature.) So, yeah. I know that there’s a 90% chance that you and @Equinox don’t care anymore but it’s been gnawing at me lately and I’m hoping that apologizing for it now will make one of us feel better. — (((Romanophile))) ♞ (contributions) 07:23, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
Hey Wiki,
You're less active these days, that's a shame. Have you abandoned the work on Hebrew auto-transliteration and verb conjugations? --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 02:00, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
Also hey - I set up the multilingual board game again. You can play at WT:FUN if you wish. --I learned some phrases (talk) 07:57, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
Hey Wikitiki89, I wanted to bring your attention to this discussion: Wiktionary:Beer_parlour/2019/April#Splitting_Aramaic. Thanks. --{{victar|talk}} 01:31, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
{{victar|talk}} 19:17, 19 April 2019 (UTC)You're the best Wiktionarian that I have had the opportunity to interact with over time, so I'd like to ask your advice, at least, and maybe your help.
I am sysop, and de facto the everyday manager, of Wikimedia Incubator. That is the wiki where projects in new languages get started. The last time we did a complete count (summer of 2018), we had roughly 1,000 test Wikimedia projects at Incubator, of which about half are Wikipedias, 20% are Wiktionaries, and the rest a mix of others. Of the roughly 200 Wiktionaries, about half of them, or 100, are either substantial (25+ main space pages) or active (one or more new, non-administrative, page additions since January 2018), or both.
We don't have much in the way of direct guidance for people trying to create projects. We suggest they visit an established project of a "major" language they know (English, French, Russian, Chinese, etc.) to get advice. But I know Wikipedia far better than Wiktionary when asked for advice, and Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikinews and Wikivoyage tests are specific enough that they tend to work reasonably well. I can't say I think the same of Wiktionary tests on Incubator.
Consider the response I just wrote someone here about his/her Wiktionary. That test Wiktionary is just very sparse all around, and not consistent as to how it handles individual entries. I don't expect such projects to have what I would call "all the bells and whistles": IPA, hyphenation, pronunciation .ogg files, anagrams, and what have you. But I'd really like to give at least a recommendation as to how entries should be arranged.
At a very pared down level, I see entries arranged as follows on English Wiktionary:
(1) Is that correct? (2) Do you know if any other mature, established Wiktionaries handle such matters in radically different ways?
My question/request for you is this: If I were to create a page on Incubator that tries to incorporate what you have in Help:Starting a new page and, especially, WT:EL, but assuming a small community with very spartan capabilities, what should I include? Thank you. StevenJ81 (talk) 17:39, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
Hey there fellow contributor,
Just had a recent mishugas over the pronunciation of the word (yivo-transcribed as) poyk. You made a comment waayy back in your original edit from litvish poyk to peyk that "please don't confuse yivo standard with real litvish." While I appreciate the passion, I would just like to know why you thought that real litvish differed in this case. Was it simply ignorance on your part, or have I missed something? I am not looking to criticise, simply learn more if possible, and teach if not. Hope to hear from you at your convenience.
Yours in all sincerity,
pre-P.S. I am new to wiktionary functions, learning bit by bit, but I'm sorry in advance for any mistakes I have made

Hi. Can you please sort out the two pages that use this template. It's been five years waiting to be cleaned up...--Java Beauty (talk) 00:48, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
{{yi-conj}} needs to be able to support such cases first, which would require adding new features to the module. I've been promising to do this for a while, but I don't see myself having time in the near future. --WikiTiki89 15:43, 3 September 2020 (UTC)Hi – in this edit you added an alternative form for the second-person feminine singular past of לקחת. I've never seen this before; as far as I know, this form is the infinitive. (The infinitive and the usual second-person feminine singular past are in other lines above the one in question.) I've removed it; in case this is an uncommon form that I'm unaware of, please let me know and/or undo my edit. Thanks! Joriki (talk) 18:09, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi Wikitiki89, I'm very sad. 205.237.30.142 is really a school IP: https://www.findip-address.com/205.237.30.142 but it's blocked forever in the French Wiktionnaire. In fact, this IP is in Fête's school, but it's not only used for Fête. My principal doesn't agree that it's blocked forever, could you please ask Pamputt in the French Wiktionnaire if he agrees to block it for 1 year? 205.237.30.142 16:44, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Hey there :) I know you're not that active anymore, but I wanted to ask about your additions of the Hebrew pattern קֶטֶל to words like בית, עיט, זית, ליל, עין, ציד as well as אט, אף, בד, בז, בר, גד, גג, גל, גן, גת, דף, דק etc. also מוות. Hope you see and tell me if I'm missing something! The cool numel (talk) 12:46, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Hi I changed the entry for sleep from יָשֵׁן to יָשַׁן. Only after I made the edit, I saw that you have changed it from יָשַׁן to יָשֵׁן before. Let me know if I have made a mistake. I was under the assumption that for Hebrew verbs, the lemma is preferably the 3rd person singular past. Apologies in advance. Taokailam (talk) 15:57, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi, you list Babel level 2 familiarity with Aramaic, does that extend to having any knowledge about what fonts for Syriac script are most legible? See MediaWiki_talk:Common.css#Applying_correct_noto_fonts_for_aii_and_tru (and, at least as of this writing, compare the Classical vs Assyrian sections of ܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ to see the different fonts). - -sche (discuss) 16:18, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
Dear interface administrator,
This is Samuel from the Security team and I hope my message finds you well.
There is an ongoing discussion on a proposed policy governing the use of external resources in gadgets and UserJS. The proposed Third-party resources policy aims at making the UserJS and Gadgets landscape a bit safer by encouraging best practices around external resources. After an initial non-public conversation with a small number of interface admins and staff, we've launched a much larger, public consultation to get a wider pool of feedback for improving the policy proposal. Based on the ideas received so far, the proposed policy now includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, best practices for gadgets and UserJS developers, and exemptions requirements such as code transparency and inspectability.
As an interface administrator, your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on the policy talk page.
Have a great day!Samuel (WMF), on behalf of the Foundation's Security team 23:02, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
I would be thankful if you provided me with a source for what you added at Appendix:Hebrew verbs#Suffixed object pronouns. I am stubbornly eyeing this obscure but elegant feature of the Hebrew language and am sorely feeling the lack of instructional material. ―Biolongvistul (talk) 19:00, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
