ja-usex not parsing でした。

While editing ノンバイナリー, I received an error message, 'Lua error in Module:ja-ruby at line 590: Can not match " でした。

" and " でした。"'. This occurs even when I copy and paste ' でした。' into both the kanji and kana lines of ja-usex, so I don't think it is user error. Does anyone know what is going on? Cnilep (talk) 01:16, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Perhaps I should specify: it was the second of the three instances of ja-usex on that page that caused the trouble. I put an html comment there to remind myself and others where the problem occurred, and what the example should say. Cnilep (talk) 01:19, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
On a lark, I tried adding an arbitrary character to the lines, and it worked. '·


でした' parses, but 'でした' does not. Obviously this is not ideal, but I've put the arbitrary character in there for the time being. Cnilep (talk) 00:49, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

I don't understand how such characters could be in the string. I copied the kanji string, pasted a duplicate, and then converted it to kana.

Error in Greek declension template: dual dative and accusative have no article

Template problems

I just noticed μένω has the same uncontracted future twice, once as "Epic, Ionic" and once as "Uncontracted", and has the contracted one marked "Contracted". I tried correcting the latter with a titleapp=, but it was ignored. Should the "Uncontracted" table be removed? And how to we mark the Contracted one as such? MGorrone (talk) 18:29, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

I've removed the "Epic, Ionic" table as it was identical to the uncontracted table that followed (no distinct endings for Epic/Ionic as compared to Attic in this case). The fact that the contracted future table is labeled "Uncontracted" is a known problem (see Module talk:grc-conj#Contracted forms labeled uncontracted) and is more widespread than this entry. —Mahāgaja · talk 18:33, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
Eventually, if I ever revamp Module:grc-conj, I would like to get rid of the convention of having uncontracted and contracted tables, and just show the forms that are actually attested or plausible in each dialect or group of dialects. The uncontracted forms of some verbs aren't actually attested and it's misleading to have them shown in a table and linked. (In some cases people have even created entries for these forms by mistake.) In the case of μένω (ménō), if I remember right, Attic doesn't have any uncontracted future forms, so the uncontracted future table will just be gone, and we'll need a new table for Epic and Ionic. So I restored the template but put it in a HTML comment to remind us that we will need that table in the future. — Eru·tuon 20:24, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Requesting new rules to ACCEL to accomodate for verb forms in {{az-conj}}

{{az-conj}} has now a bunch of verb forms which have variants (dated and colloquial) which are generated correctly in the table but not yet by accel. To take an example, almaq: all 2pl-form have two variants, with and without optional -nı-, which is expressed as alırsı(nı)z in the template. The omission of -ni- is commonplace in speech, but considered too informal for writing (although it does occur), which is why the greenlink should produce this: alırsınız, i.e. the full form with a link to the reduced form in {{alter}}. If it could at the same time automatically create the alternative form alırsız, it would be just lovely. Allahverdi Verdizade (talk) 22:36, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Sicilian conjugation table

I'm a fairly new user, and trying to add a conjugation table to a Sicilian word (prisirvari) and getting extraordinarily lost.

@Elliott Dunstan: our Sicilian verb-inflection table templates are here. I assume that {{scn-conj-ari}} is the one you want for prisirvari.

Collapsible etymology sections?

This comes down to usability, and folding away certain longer content.

Working in Japanese entries, I've recently encountered a user who wraps etymology details in a collapsible template, currently {{rel-top}} and {{rel-bottom}}, out of apparent concern that the etym section is too long and visually distracting.

I can see their point of view: long etymologies could be seen as a negative for usability, for users who are not interested in this content.

However, the {{rel-top}} template enforces two columns by default, which seems inappropriate and ugly for the kinds of explanatory text blocks that are common in etymologies.

I spent some time poking around to see if there were a different template that would allow for a similar collapsible element, but without the columns. This led me to a few questions.

There is the generically named pair of {{collapse-top}} and {{collapse-bottom}}. For reasons that I don't know, {{collapse-top}} was designed to specifically mimic the {{trans-top}} template -- it has the same yellow background, two columns by default, and it has the same "Add translation" text boxes.
This template's What Links Here shows that it isn't transcluded much, and in at least a few cases (such as in the Wiktionary:Tea_room/2020/December#(geen)_volle_zalen_trekken_/_nee,_jij_trekt_volle_zalen thread), it has been used as a generic collapsible element, where the yellow background, columns, and "Add translation" portions are probably not wanted.
Can {{collapse-top}} be safely repurposed to a more generalized use case, removing the translation-related formatting and inputs? Would doing so break anything?
Ideally, {{collapse-top}} would produce the same general effect as {{rel-top}}, only with different default text, and only one column.
Alternatively, this template could be tweaked to allow a second argument to specify the number of columns. Presumably, 2 would still be the default, to minimize disruption.
It appears that {{rel-top}} in turn uses {{column-count}} to plop out the CSS needed for the columns. {{column-count}} is already parameterized, so it's just a matter of passing in the desired number.
Can {{rel-top}} be safely updated to specify the number of columns? Would doing so break anything?
  • JavaScript:
The above template-based approaches would require editors to manually add the -top and -bottom templates to get the content to collapse. This approach is thus inherently scattershot, and a lot of work to maintain.
Would it be possible to use a JavaScript-based approach to collapse ===Etymology=== sections (and any others), as we already do for quotations?
This would presumably apply to all ===Etymology=== sections automatically, and a user's preferences could be configured to always expand or always collapse these sections.
If so desired, this might even be code-able to only collapse ===Etymology=== (or other) sections longer than X number of lines, perhaps.

@Eirikr: We have {{collapse}}. J3133 (talk) 18:36, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
@J3133: Yes, we do. But the bright green is, IMO, ugly, and it's jarringly different from the rest of our entry infrastructure. Somewhere along the line, I'd also gotten the impression that we are encouraged to use the -top and -bottom templates instead. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 22:51, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Following in the path of the online OED, we might have a (non-visually jarring, perhaps grey) autocollapsed box, where the title of the box will automatically show the first ~ line of its contents, followed by an ellipsis. Of course, changing EL to have the etymology below the definition might really be the way to go. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 00:31, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
@Μετάknowledge, I'm curious, how would it work to put the etym below the defs, when we're organizing the entries based on the etyms? I have trouble visualizing what that might look like for any multi-etym entry. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 00:56, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
We recently had a discussion about this. Form 1, Form 2, etc would replace the numbered etymology sections, and the new (unnumbered) etymology sections would be nested one level lower, below their respective form. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:00, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
Interesting. The general structure is fine by me, but using headers of ===Form 1===, ===Form 2=== seems to confusingly suggest that the terms have different spellings / graphemes, which is a concern. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 03:44, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
As long as it's clear which etymology belongs to which section, there's no reason to have the actual etymology at the top of an etymology section. We might even have a different type of header for the "Etymology" organizational structure and the etymological content.
Another possibility would be to have the beginning and the end of any given section visually tied together, so you can see the section as a whole- like what we do with the language sections, but repeating the pattern fractally with narrower and narrower subsections. The idea is to have a given class of content live in a specific place in each level of organization- perhaps with the more concrete and simple things first, and the more abstract/theoretical and/or verbose stuff at the bottom. Another way to look at it is treating things like the etymologies and inflection tables as footnotes to the definitions and pronunciation information. That puts the concise and practical information at the top, and the supporting details at the bottom- sort of like the inverted pyramid principle in news writing. We might even think about making the headword line the actual head of the whole section. I'm just sort of brainstorming at the moment- it will require a lot more thought to figure out how it would work in practice. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:53, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
Hmm, hmm, yes, interesting. I like the idea of visually tying things together better than we currently do.
I'm still struggling a bit to imagine the layout. We have various oddities in different languages to contend with, things like English object (verb) and object (noun), or the multiple different pronunciations of Japanese (e, kabi, gai, kara, gara, tsuka, tsuku, hozo). Whatever we arrive at will have to accommodate all of this somehow. I'm looking forward to what we can come up with. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 07:59, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
  • I am in favour of collapsible etymology sections where they are excessively long, having come across some lengthy Latvian ones for example. I have experimented with {{collapse}}, but can't get it to collapse properly. When using it, it collides with any Wikipedia links and added images opposite the etymology and a yawning gap is created, which is far from desirable. DonnanZ (talk) 12:12, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
I recall this coming up somewhere else just recently. My concern with collapsing the content is that it is then very easy for someone to not realize it's there; even a veteran editor and admin missed the collapsed table in cat last October. (Nonetheless, I do collapse very long content, including IIRC in that very entry, but also e.g. Iroquois.) Having the top line(s) of the content be displayed (in the same legible, non-greyed-out font as at present) and then fade out or terminate in an ellipsis mid-sentence might help with that. - -sche (discuss) 05:32, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello how's things. I do have a suggestion (that does take some work of writers). Our translation collapsing boxes do allow the heading section to state the sense of the word that is being translated. This is helpful when two or more senses have their own separate lists of translations.

Entries with multiple etymologies could use the same kind of box. And the consistency with the collapsed boxes for derived terms and translations make things neat. 119.56.103.124 16:47, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Shotgun thoughts: —Cool idea, been trying to do this too since the last discussion which I can't find—Related: cognates in the =ETY= section—Collapsibles easily missed - ellipsis definitely the way to go—In that shape moving it down wouldn't be as pressing; my own reason for doing so is that =ETY= is thematically related to =Derived terms= etc. So it would make sense to have these grouped up into a "meta section" below the definition. This would separate it from the thematically related =Alternative forms=, which I can live with as long as they're near =Pronunciation=.—On the subject of visually tying together, I stumbled upon {{senseid}} again today and was pleasantly confused thinking that the definition section had finally acquired some visual cues, especially useful to visually group quotations and synonyms together with a definition.

Some of the links displayed using this template are malformed; in parts where commmas and/or dashes are used to indicate different forms the links that the template creates link to bad page names such as one with the comma and everything in the page title, instead of having 2 separate links when there are 2 forms listed for one inflection of the noun.

Pali Transliteration

I think the time has come to enable transliteration of Pali from non-Roman scripts. Module:pi-translit has been tested, and seems to me to be working. However, it would be nice to check its interaction with Pali templates before it is accepted. How do I test it out? In a world without protections, I would make an uncommitted edit to Module:languages/data2 to add field translit_module = "pi-translit" to m and view content pages using the editor's preview facility. However, the module seems to be protected against my doing that sort of thing. Do I need to simultaneously sandbox a lot of infrastructure?

The Thai and Lao scripts each have different writing systems for Pali depending on whether or not one writes the short vowel 'a'. Sometimes one cannot tell which system an isolated word is in, and the word has different transliterations for the two systems. Is there any mechanism for passing the identification of the writing system to the transliterator? For example, สุตวา (sutavā) is sutavā (learned (nom. s.)) if 'a' is unwritten, but sutvā (having learnt) in the system where it is written. (This is a productive confounding of abugidic past active participles and alphabetic absolutives; the former are rare.) RichardW57m (talk) 14:43, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Query

Hello!

Is it possible to see edits with the no head temp tag that haven't been edited since? I namely looked into the logs for that tag but so many versions have been overwritten and hence does not need to be fixed. If there was a way to exclude the already fixed entries that would be appreciated. Thanks! Jonteemil (talk) 00:15, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Not in the logs themselves. Someone would have to combine the log data with data from the edit histories. You could sort of infer how likely it is to have been overwritten by how old the most recent tag for an entry is: if there are edits since the tagged one that aren't in the log, it's been fixed. Not foolproof, since you can't predict when or if an entry is going to be edited- but it's better than nothing. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:45, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Data on Entries' Memory Usage?

Is there any way to survey entries to see if they're approaching the 50 MB memory limit? It would be nice to not have to wait until they end up in CAT:E to reduce memory usage.

If there's no way to directly access memory usage from a bot, perhaps there's some way for a bot to do the equivalent of "View Page Source" on a browser, since there's parser profiling data embedded as comments in the html listings.

We could narrow it down a bit, since almost all the out-of-memory-errors I've seen so far have been single-character entries in Category:Translingual lemmas or entries in Category:English lemmas with translation tables. The few exceptions have had literally dozens of L2s. I'm sure we could narrow it down further by using frequency/basic words lists. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:36, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

This discussion is about if better headers can be used to lessen such duplicated senses, and what form it can take. 119.56.103.124 16:58, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
