This is surely a non-word which has found its way here and needs to be deleted. Bjenks (talk) 07:16, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi I want to make an inflection bot for Tagalog. I understand the grammar very well, but I just don't understand how to make a bot for it. Can someone help me make it? It's very alright if you don't speak Tagalog, I can and I know how to conjugate verbs, so I'll just explain to whoever's willing to help me. Thank you very much in advanceǃ
It seems that the famous macaque selfie has become quite the bone of contention. It's been spreading very quickly across various Wikipedias and recently it ended up in selfie (below an astronaut). I dispute its relevance in a dictionary. Others disagree. Any regulars care to weigh in on the matter?

Hi, in the IPA key of these words, there is a mistake, so I'd like to contribute. The stress is lacking between New and Mexico. I'm very thankful if you take it into account, please, because I'm Uruguayan and I'll be pleased if you accept my help. Bye
On August 24 there will be a Westchester County, NY edit-a-thon, principally for WP, of course. It is potentially a chance to increase exposure of Wiktionary to potential contributors and to reduce barriers to contribution. The focus is very local, which is not really a good fit with the core of what attestable language is about, but provides some entry points for Wiktionary. Toponyms seem like an obvious, though limited way of exemplifying entries, as do entries for local flora (taxonomic and vernacular names). I can try regional terms, referencing the Dictionary of American Regional English.
Does anyone have any other ideas? DCDuring TALK 23:24, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
Previously I could edit Wiktionary:Tea room, but now I seem not to be able to (no "Edit" links are displayed). I do seem to be able to edit dictionary entries -- well, certainly a couple I've tried recently have worked. I am a very sporadic contributor though. Any ideas about Tea room? 86.128.4.242 03:23, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
The Spanish wiktionary list has no words ending in -ión that begin with b,j,k, q, s, t, u w, x, y, or z.
There exist, among others:
bifurcación justificación satisfacción tracción urbanización
Does anybody know -ion words that begin with k,q,w,x,y, or z?
Pleast tell me where to post this message if it is not correct here.

Hi. I'm trying to change the pronunciation of the Chinese word "枯萎". It was originally labeled with the pronunciation ku1wei3, but that's the Beijing standard. The Taiwan standard is ku1wei1, but I don't know how to do it. I look at the edit column of words like "星期", another word that's pronounced differently in Beijing and Taiwan, and what they did is they just placed the character where the pronunciation's supposed to be, which I don't understand. Can someone please explain? Thanks
{{term}}
without generating a linkI am trying to add some alternative forms of Persian words with a tashdid/shadda. I am using the template {{term}}
, but in fact I don't want to link to the form with a tashdid because it should not have an entry according to current practice. For example, I would like to add حقّ (haqq) as an alternative form of حق (haqq), but without a link. Can I stop the template from making a link? Is there a better template to use, or perhaps I don't need any template at all? Thanks for any help. Kaixinguo (talk) 12:37, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
{{m|fa||حقّ}}
rather than {{m|fa|حقّ}}
(or {{term||حقّ|lang=fa}}
rather than {{term|حقّ|lang=fa}}

Why does Wiktionary list Latin noun forms in such a peculiar order, it's most confusing when trying to look something up. Every Latin grammar I've ever seen, and always when learning Latin at school, lists Noun inflections in the order Nominative, Vocative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative, Ablative. Why be different? Is it a deliberate ploy to confuse?
Precedent is often set by the most adventurous rather than the most knowledgeable. The first step in responding to your guidance would be to calculate the number of entries that might require correction (to balance scale, value, & priority). Next, choose a technology/process to implement the change. Next, decide whether it is worth the effort to the decider or implementer. If so, develop/gather the needed resources. Publish the requirement/policy. Do it.--173.79.123.2 22:35, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
I couldn’t agree more. The order of declensions hurts me every day. I wish there were a way to customise it per-user, rather than to try to impose a universal new ordering on people. Someone out there must, for some reason, have liked the current bizarre case order, so I say let users have their own choice. I forget whether other languages suffer from this same malady too, beyond Latin. I note that the date of the earlier posts is 2014. I write this in 2022 now and nothing has happened ? Is there a way that I could recruit some helpers to implement a per-user preference thing? I think that it would need to be done in Javascript, which is not one of my languages. But something to pick up the relevant structures and reorder the DOM according to a per-user setting "Nom|Voc|Acc|Gen|Dat|Abl|Loc". It should be possible to make the JS general enough to handle other languages and maybe even non-IE languages such as Uralic, as the above case-ordering vector - or a better string representation - could be made into a very general mapping. Any offers of help much appreciated CecilWard (talk) 16:29, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello, The conjugation table for хлебать has been replaced with the one for делать, for some reason.
