How is this template supposed to work? Or, where is it supposed to be used? If used in the {anagrams:langcode/foo} template, it will force exclusion of a particular anagram from all pages, which is not what's intended. (Just because a word is not wanted as an anagram to an entry of which it's an alt.sp., that doesn't mean it's not wanted elsewhere. E.g., liter, arguendo (for I disgree, myself), shouldn't be listed as an anagram of litre, but surely it should be listed as an anagram of relit.)—msh210℠ 17:49, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
{{not anagrams}}
to exclude everything in the template from everything in the template, you are correct that {{exclude anagrams}}
is too blunt for this purpose. Creating and enabling {{not anagrams}}
is possible, if you'd like it. Conrad.Irwin 23:53, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
{{exclude anagrams}}
), causing the bot to add some exclusion parameters to the templates, but actually it could be directly included in the calls to {{anagrams}}
. The templates would then look something like (one or the other of):* {{anagrams|liter|l-iter|liter!litre=}} {{anagrams|litre|l-itre|litre!liter=}} {{not anagrams|liter|litre}} * {{anagrams|{{not anagrams|liter|litre=}}|l-iter}} {{anagrams|{{not anagrams|litre|liter=}}|l-itre}}
The effect in either case is to display *l-iter on litre, and *l-itre on liter, *liter, l-iter on l-itre and *litre, l-itre on l-iter. For cases when no anagrams for a page would display, the bot would not transclude the template onto that page. I hope that's clearer, though knowing me, probably not.

What will the bot do if a word has no anagrams in enwikt? Not add {anagrams:langcode/foo} to the entry, or add it, but blank, or add it, but with the alphagram only?—msh210℠ 17:49, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
What will the bot do for entries that have anagrams listed by hand which are not enwikt entries (e.g., SoPs)? Is there a mechanism for removal of these? (I hope not!) Or, how does it integrate its anagrams into existing lists? Moreover, when users add such words to {anagrams:langcode/foo}, will the bot revert? Can users add unlinked — or "SoP-linked" (as separate words) — to the list in that template?—msh210℠ 17:49, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
{{include anagrams}}
, I was planning (but have not yet, as there is no need) to have it compare revisions either side of manual edits so that users didn't even have to think about it. This is how it will preserve all the anagrams that are currently in entries. Conrad.Irwin 23:57, 14 September 2009 (UTC)Does it work for all languages, all Latin alphabet languages, or just English? How does it deal with capital letters and diacritics. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:54, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
