@Geographyinitiative, is ǔ (as added e.g. here or here) the vowel in words like run, up? If so, my impression is that that is meant to be notated in enPR as ŭ (with a subtly different diacritic). If it's another vowel, the symbol doesn't seem to be covered by Appendix:English pronunciation at the moment. - -sche (discuss) 05:51, 5 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
- @-sche: Those are errors. I've responded in Wiktionary:Beer parlour/2025/July#enPR ǔ. 0DF (talk) 16:20, 25 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

I tried to use this for a redirect from さ来月 and さ来週 to 再来月 and 再来週 just like さ来年 goes to 再来年, but it seems to result in a 'The following entry does not have a page created for it yet' {{attention|}} warning despite including a functioning link: Special:Permalink/85521378. any idea what I'm doing wrong?
also clicked on https://en.wiktionary.orghttps://dictious.com/en/Category:Japanese_redlinks/ja-see and some others (eg あいあいガサ) have the same problem Will Hendrix (talk) 20:09, 12 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
- @Will Hendrix: I don't edit Japanese, but my impression is that
{{ja-see}} scans the target page and looks for matching content to display. If it can't find a match, it apparently assumes something needs to be created. I would note that 再来年 lists さ来年 as an alternative form, while さ来週 says nothing about さ来月. I would also note that あいあいガサ seems to be an odd mix of hiragana and katakana, but 相合傘 only uses hiragana. Given that あいあいガサ was created by a known incompetent Vietnamese editor over 7 1/2 years ago and only converted to {{ja-see}} last year, I suspect that あいあいガサ is just a mistake. @Eirikr.

- ah, yeah; I hadn't even thought to check if they actually exist as common variants; a naive internet search with the
さ spelling only brings up results with the 再 spelling. I'll try asking about it in requests for verification Will Hendrix (talk) 02:29, 14 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
- @Will Hendrix, when using
{{ja-see}}, the referred page (the one you're pointing to) must also have the spelling of the referring page (the one you're editing, and adding {{ja-see}} to) included in its instance of {{ja-kanjitab}}, using the alt= named parameter.
- I just updated 再来週 (saraishū, “week after next”) and 再来月 (saraigetsu, “month afternext”) to include the さ来週 and さ来月 spellings as alts, respectively (among other changes), and then I updated the さ- spelling pages to use
{{ja-see}}.

- Isn't it true that the German surname Engels comes from the old tribe's name Anglo? The Anglos are known as the "Angeln" in German. Japaneseredhead (talk) 18:47, 23 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Are these terms kennings?
And how does one determine if a term is a kenning? I ask because Category:English kennings is rather brief, so I'd like to find more entries to add to it. --Vuccala (talk) 01:46, 25 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
What about considering linking of individual brands of the Wikitionary laptop article. Like HP, Dell etc can be linked as Wikipedia articles. And what about examples for the wikitionary page of laptop? There are 0 examples. Gamerboykarl (talk) 13:59, 25 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Only if the brand name has become a genericized trademark like kleenex or hoover, or if the trademark itself can refer to the object, like Lamborghini, Jacuzzi. See Wiktionary:BRAND
- In your case, MacBook and Chromebook are both types of laptop, so you can make a new "Hyponyms" section on laptop and list them there (as well as any others you may know). See Wiktionary:Semantic_relations#Hyponymy if you don't know what a hyponym is.
- But if there's no Wiktionary entry, then there's no need to link to Wikipedia articles from brands. Wiktionary's scope is in defining and categorizing words, not brands. Otherwise our entry for "car" would have to list all the car brands, "clothes" would have to list all the clothing brands, "restaurant" would have to list all the restaurant brands etc. And that would be a mess, and not helpful to understanding the meaning of the word itself.
- And yes, you're welcome to add usage examples. See Template:ux. Vuccala (talk) 14:48, 25 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Yeah. I made that mistake of adding an example to Lamborghini. Ok I will add usage examples. Thanks Gamerboykarl (talk) 14:54, 25 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
Is it also ok to add examples to proper noun pages? Gamerboykarl (talk) 14:02, 25 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Yes, you're welcome to add examples for all parts of speech. For guidelines, see Wiktionary:Example sentences. Vuccala (talk) 14:53, 25 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Ok. Thanks Gamerboykarl (talk) 14:55, 25 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
