It's Thursday again. Something has changed in new MediaWiki version and content under headings "In other projects" and "Visibility" appear in large font. See previous comment Wiktionary:Grease_pit/2020/October#In other projects on sidebar. I think class definitions should be reviewed at MediaWiki:Gadget-AggregateInterprojectLinks.js and MediaWiki:Gadget-VisibilityToggles.js. --Vriullop (talk) 07:04, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
Why does this section appear on the WT:TR "home page" (where we are advised not to make edits) but not on the April sub-page? The post is signed with a March date but appears under the April header! Equinox ◑ 15:54, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi, so there's this template {{see desc}}
that does nothing but add some text, with no parameters. I've had a glorious idea to add the same parameters to it as {{desc}}
, so that you simply add see
to convert a descendant into a redirect and it looks exactly like current: desc
+ see desc
example. In addition this template can be excluded from being transcluded through {{desctree}}
and so solve the ongoing issue of same-language descendants. It shouldn't throw up an error if no parameters are given though, as it's currently used in way too many pages (could use a bot to convert these). The idea seems bullet-proof; would it please somebody with permission to edit it to implement this? Brutal Russian (talk) 21:19, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
{{see desc}}
; at the same time it's discouraged to list alternative forms as descendants, an unresolvable clash currently. I want to combine the functionality of {{see desc}}
with that of {{desc}}
. Brutal Russian (talk) 16:15, 2 April 2021 (UTC)The indexes for Sanskrit lemma categories and the like assume that all entries will start in Devanagari. This makes it difficult to look non-Devanagari forms up, e.g. for maintenance work. It doesn't help that the sort algorithm and index disagree as to what the last letter is - the sort algorithm does not place ळ after the consonants of Classical Sanskrit. I'd like to add other scripts in the same fashion as for Pali.
This job will, inter alia, involve changing {{sa-categoryTOC}}
from a redirect to {{categoryTOC-Devanagari}}
to a fork from it. Does anyone (@Erutuon) want to take on this task, or should I just go ahead and do it myself? RichardW57m (talk) 13:42, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

One of the two Ancient Greek inflection tables at σέλας is marked "contracted" but is in fact uncontracted, the other one has an alternative genitive form (which isn't reported in the "sub-header" where the genitive σέλαος is the only one given). No actual contracted table is given. MGorrone (talk) 16:45, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
It would also be cool to have a gadget that can quickly add a term to the Derived/Related terms section of an entry, to speed up ridiculously slow additions like this. Something like when you are on the page preserved in aspic you can, with a couple of quick clicks, add the page to the Derived terms sections of preserved and aspic.

. As for listing short forms in-line, that is a bit tricky as it depends both on the length of the forms and the size of the space available to fit the forms, e.g. you probably want the dative forms to show inline because they have three columns of space but maybe not the accusative singular forms to show inline because they have only one column of space.

Can Wiktionary links have a page preview? On Wikipedia, links to other articles show the article preview on hover. A page preview of a linked Wiktionary entry could be useful. Most useful would be the preview of any Synonym sections on the linked page. — This unsigned comment was added by 154.160.14.21 (talk) at 16:03, 15 April 2021 (UTC).
The template {{Han ref}}
also creates an empty list element before the first line. Example: 永, or any other Han-character entry that uses the template in the Translingual section.
Could this be related to the trouble with {{senseid}}
being discussed here?
By convention, the {{Han ref}}
template is typically used as
* {{Han ref|...}}
That is, on a separate line that starts with an asterisk.
I tried removing the asterisk and in the preview it seems to produce the desired result. I don't know if it breaks anything else. --Frigoris (talk) 16:35, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

What could the template {{fur-categoryTOC}}

Wikipedia now increasingly pulls some information from Wikidata (such as a city's population) into its info boxes. Similarly, Wiktionary could pull inflection patterns from Wikidata's lexemes. For some languages, such as Estonian, the coverage is starting to get really good. Has any branch of Wiktionary done this already? As an example, the English Wiktionary entry for päev (Estonian for "day") and the German counterpart de:päev, there are already declension pattern tables. But the French fr:päev and Swedish sv:päev don't have this, and so it would be easier to pull that information from Wikidata's d:Lexeme:L381851 than to implement the full inflection table locally in French and Swedish Wiktionary. --LA2 (talk) 17:34, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
