Talk:murali

Uncommented removal of text
Can this reversion of a new section to this entry be explained? 24.29.228.33 22:31, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. Sanskrit articles must be in Devanagari. SemperBlotto 06:59, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Because most users are not able to type in Devanagari, this makes it quite difficult for normal users to obtain information about commonly romanized terms such as nath, Gopala, Gopi, Govinda, etc. "Murali" is a commonly encountered term of Sanskrit origin, but often presented in romanized form, usually as part of South Indian names, but also in publications dealing with Hinduism. At the very least these should be redirects to the Sanskrit forms. This is why we have entries such as xiexie, nihao, etc., in that it assists users all over the world who only have regular Latin keyboards in finding the information they need, as quickly and easily as possible. 24.29.228.33 07:10, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Please see this Google search for evidence that the Sanskrit term "murali" does appear, in romanized form, in published scholarly works. In the future, would you please use "Discussion" to evaluate such additions rather than simply blanking such text? It would contribute a lot to our spirit of collaboration, which is such an important hallmark of all of the Wikimedia projects. 24.29.228.33 07:14, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I've added the section back. As the anon stated, we do keep entries of romanized foreign scripts on Wiktionary. However, the entry does need to reference the corresponding Sanskrit entry (if one exists).--TBC  07:21, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you; well, then, why don't we do that? Do editors not work together in collaborative fashion here at Wiktionary, as they do at the other Wikimedia projects? I see a lot of punitive actions, that don't seem warranted, rather than an attempt to work together to build this encyclopedia. 24.29.228.33 07:22, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

 * We do not keep romanizations of words in languages which use different scripts. This has gone through extensive discussion.  The only exception (one which I disagree with, I might add, but that is neither here nor there) is when native speakers use the transliterations themselves.  In practice, the only languages currently authorized to use transliterations are east Asian languages, such as Japanese and the Chinese languages.  Yes, scholarly papers use transliterations of Sanskrit, but it has been decided that we will not allow such things on Wiktionary.  If a word exists in another language, one that uses a Latin script perhaps, then the word needs to be titled, defined, and verified in that language.  I have added murali to the Sanskrit request page.  Concerning people who do not have access to non-Latin keyboards: First of all, this is becoming more and more rare.  Windows Vista, for example, comes preloaded with a number of non-Latin keyboards, including Devanagari.  Also, there are a number of alternative approaches, such as searching categories and indeces.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 07:30, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I've provided several examples of this, but you haven't addressed them. For example, Ahmed, lin, xiexie, Gopala, etc. It really is useful to be able to find the meanings of these without having a Chinese, Devanagari, or other foreign keyboard. At least they should be redirects to the non-Latin script titles. 24.29.228.33 07:32, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Are you saying that all the above linked terms should be considered English words for the purpose of Wiktionary? That is confusing because several of them can't really be considered English terms, yet they should be easily and quickly findable by our users. 24.29.228.33 07:36, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Ahmed is an English name, which comes from Arabic (admittedly, the language of a name is difficult to define, but it's common enough in English speaking counties anyway). Gopala needs to be moved to the Devanagari spelling, and I have tagged it for Sanskrit attention, so that should happen in the near future.  The rest are east Asian transliterations, which are currently allowed (a policy with which I disagree).  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 07:45, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

The fact remains that Gopala appears, in Latinized form, with great prolificacy in scholarly English-language publications (source provided above). If even, at minimum, the term "Gopala" is not permitted even as a redirect to the Devanagari-titled entry (which would be illogical and not useful for our users), the term won't be able to be easily found by our users. I believe allowing our users to find the information they need is one of the paramount imperatives for our project, particularly as regards finding common Sanskrit terms that commonly appear in Latinized form in English-language publications. 24.29.228.33 07:45, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Since there is a BP discussion, we should continue there. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 07:47, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Please feel free to copy any of my comments which might be relevant to that location, if you would like to respond to them. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 07:47, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Template talk:ws

Comments
I would like to see the template extended with a link to a Wiktionary entry, in addition to Wikisaurus entry, like I tried in the template. It currenty looks like this:

It can look differently. The point is to be able to get to Wiktionary for those many words that will at the beginning miss a Wikisaurus entry.

--Dan Polansky 14:09, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

There is no need for them to have to go to the wiktionary page. That's what the tool tip is all about. All they have to do is hover over the word and the definition according to wiktionary (when we can get it from there) is listed. Again, no link is required A link to the wiktionary page is given for the header word and when we get wikisaurus running properly there will be a link for all of them. Why do you feel we need yet another link? Amina (sack36) 19:22, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I am not sure why I feel I need links to Wiktionary, but some estimated reasons follow. Wiktionary provides some information about the word that the Wikisaurus does not have. Also, the tooltip may get out of date. When I want to see other definitions of the same word, the tooltip does not help. Tooltip does not let me click through the words in the definition and see synonyms entered to that word in Wiktionary. Also, I suspect that entering tooltips is going to be a lot of work that some contributors may omit, or want to omit, at least at an early phase of the growth of Wikisaurus. In any case, when I was creating and verifying some Wikisaurus entries today (or yesterday), I found the Wiktionary links useful and convenient. They resemble the links to non-English Wiktionaries as found in translation sections.

 * Well, if you do not like the idea, never mind; let it be. --Dan Polansky 23:31, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I can see you thought a lot about this. Let me explain my reasons more fully.  Wiktionary is a dictionary.  It contains a great deal more than just a nuance of a word, which is what wikisaurus is all about.  People needing to look things up in wiktionary from wikisaurus will at best be daunted and at worst get the wrong nuance.  That is why I put the definition into tool tips.  I would have put a link in that would automatically pull up the correct definition but was told that the definitions positions change too much for that to be feasible. Giving them access to all the words will only serve to give them fodder to misuse the words. As for keeping current, how is everything else kept current?

The tool tips aren't meant to be an in depth access. The in-depth access is to type the word in the search field and hit enter -- may I point out that is a great deal less than what it took for them to find the wikisaurus word!

The synonyms that are listed in wiktionary that pertain to that headword definition are also listed in the word in question. They should be the first words listed! The words listed for synonyms will be on their own page along with a great deal more. Why would you want to see two or three words buried in among so much other non-pertinant data when you can click once and get many more matching words?

I have a trick that helps put the synonyms out faster if you're interested.

You do bring up one haunting reality. Entrants may not want to enter all those definitions. I have been working on this one and I only have a half solution at best. One of the add-ons you can put on Firefox is "ScribeFire". It lets you pick up entire pages of information and hold it in an area that can fill 90% to 30% of your browser window. It also scrolls. Anyone with this app can load the definitions for a section of synonyms that are similar (ha ha) and drag and drop the specific definition that fits the synonym they're working on. You can even stack up several words at once. There is a lot it can't do, though, so the search (and pondering) continues. ("Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?") Amina (sack36) 02:26, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, the solution with having links to Wiktionary replaces user's typing with hyperlinking, which is the point of hyperlinks in the first place. In general, in a knowledge base without hypertext, users can just copy and paste words into the search field, but hyperlink makes it so much faster.
 * I don't see how having the links to WT harms, apart from creating visual noise. There is a general advantage of having projects that provide complementary information hyperlinked.
 * As Wikisaurus is an embryo project, entering as much shallow information as possible should be encouraged. The idea of entering tooltips goes into a different direction; it drastically increases the cost of creation of a new entry.
 * That's how I see it. --Dan Polansky 09:31, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * One more idea came to mind. I can still see some Wikisaurus entries whose items in lists link to Wiktionary. The change from this state to one in which they only link to Wikisaurus is an abrupt one. Under the original design of Wikisaurus, someone must have thought, just like I do, that linking to Wiktionary is convenient. Creating a compromise, combining linking both to Wikisaurus and Wiktionary, could work well at least in a transitory phase. If, after the Wikisaurus is extensive, the links to Wiktionary become unwelcome, removing them is an easy edit at one place: this teplate. --Dan Polansky 14:07, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't like the text "WT" aesthetically, but aesthetics isn't the root of my concern. I'm still of the opinion that all words should link to Wiktionary, and that Wikisaurus pages (whose titles may or may not be single words) should be linked separately. There will always be a dictionary entry for a word, but there may not always be a thesaurus entry for a word, nor should there be for all words. For instance, beer and ale have different definitions, but there need only be one entry in the thesaurus. There are several definitions for well, but none of them is a primary definition, and so there shouldn't be a thesaurus entry titled "well". Linking all words to Wikisaurus is based on an invalid assumption that each word constitutes a Wikisaurus entry, which has been argued against at length. Links within Wikisaurus do need to be made, but they need to be made between Wikisaurus pages rather than words. A page or entry is a concept, not a word, and the two are not one-to-one. Not all but a few of the synonyms may lead to different concepts, as will hyponyms such as "types of beer". The majority of listings, especially slang terms, will not. DAVilla 16:55, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

 * At DAVilla: I like the changes you have done to the template.

 * It's only a temporary measure, and a suggestion. I don't think it will last the year. DAVilla 17:32, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

 * At Amina: Not yet specifically mentioned is that WT has quotations and example sentences, which help a lot to graps the meaning of the terms.

 * --Dan Polansky 12:19, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Rendering
The current rendering of this template (and its ws beginlist and ws endlist companion templates) is into bullet list. The current markup makes the following options possible. I have just tried changing the template to render comma separated list and it worked like a breeze.

Options: --Daniel Polansky 08:13, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * table
 * bullet list
 * tooltips
 * number of columns
 * plain comma separated list
 * tooltips

 * The customization of the rendering could even be in the, using a drop down list, so the user could choose the presentation as he needs in the particular case, quickly switching between one way and the other way. --Dan Polansky 09:22, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Of course the comma separation worked like a breeze. That's what we went away from.  Having it in columns makes it much easier for the seeker to find words.  You recently showed us a Moby that was comma delimited (because it was meant for computer use, not human eyes) and the thing was almost impossible to read. Amina (sack36) 16:17, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Alternatives
--Dan Polansky 11:05, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Amina (sack36) 16:38, 25 September 2008 (UTC) First, it is against policy and can get you banned for messing with other people's messages. What you have down there is not what I wrote and it's not what I meant. My vision of wikisaurus has ALWAYS had a link to wiktionary! Had I meant "comment-link" I would have put "comment-link" and you literally wiped out a row of my opinion. The comment-link line you have is ridiculously complex making it hard for people to join in on the work. Don't ever presume you know ahead of time what I want!! You'll note I wasn't so cavalier about your post!! Amina (sack36) 00:39, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I have only tried to merge the content of the two tables. I am sorry that I have upset you. Please, edit the rows that correspond to your ideas in the table above as you see fit, changing the description so that they express your ideas, or create a completely new table if you prefer it that way; I won't merge the tables again. --Dan Polansky 09:14, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

This is the original post: You left out a few options: Amina (sack36) 16:38, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Amina, your exact original post can be read here. It differs in some details from what you have reposted. For instance, in the original post, you wrote "indistinguishable from 2."—probably meant as a hyperbole, while the post above says "almost indistinguishable from 2. ". --Dan Polansky 08:07, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Disabling hyperlinks
For a discussion on how to disable hyperlinks to mainspace, leading to the markup, see User talk:Conrad.Irwin. --Dan Polansky 15:33, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Capability to link to anchor links and senseid (id)
As I write this, no variation of syntax in a value for the "link" parameter seems to succeed in getting "ws|port" to link specifically to "port#Etymology 4" (regarding homonyms ¹port, ²port, ³port, ⁴port, where the last equals fortified wine). Analogously, linking to a senseid via an "id" parameter would be useful. If anyone is able to improve this, it would be great. (I don't know how and probably also lack the necessary access/permission level anyway.) Quercus solaris (talk) 05:05, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Concerns about parameters
@Benwing2 @This, that and the other I'm a bit concerned about ws, since the parameters are now significantly diverging from the usual link templates in a way that's not intuitive at all: I've added a couple of temporary tracking categories to see how much these parameters are in use, because I suspect it's not very much (Category:Thesaurus entries using parameter 3 of ws and Category:Thesaurus entries using parameter link of ws). I couldn't find more than a handful of uses via the searchbox, in any event.
 * 1) The main issue is the fact that parameter   is being used for tooltip text. I appreciate that this was a holdover from the old version of the template, but tooltip text is a really bad idea because it's completely inaccessible on mobile, not particularly noticeable to those who actually are able to view it, and it's rubbish for general accessibility (e.g. screen readers). In all cases, we should be using q to convey this information, as we do everywhere else.
 * 2) This has resulted in an IP adding , which completely inverts how things work compared to normal link templates, since it now means   only refers to the display text if   has been specified, whereas for all other templates   always refers to the link target no matter what, even if the display text changes. The only other major template(s) which work this way are the translation ones, but even then they use.

I strongly suggest that we bring it in line with the standard link templates, which is what people are used to. Theknightwho (talk) 18:21, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

 * @Theknightwho yes, I agree that this template needs an overhaul.
 * It's very easy to find entries using the hover text: even such basic entries as WS:good use it (look for the dotted underline). In my experience, the hover text seems to be used in two ways:
 * To display a simple gloss. These should probably be converted to the same way we display glosses in mainspace, although I would argue that the “fancy quotation marks” would be inappropriate in Thesaurus space and should not appear.
 * To describe the semantic relationship of the term in more detail. For example, at WS:copulate,  These could be displayed using q, but this template is currently used in thesaurus space to actually display qualifiers, not descriptive text. The big issue with displaying this kind of text in the Thesaurus entry is that sometimes, the tooltip text can be very long and would disrupt the layout of the Thesaurus page. However, I can't see a good alternative. Displaying the text on hover is clearly not appropriate.
 * Unfortunately I suspect a manual audit of all uses of the hover text is needed.
 * At very minimum, the parameter names need standardisation with the mainspace link templates. Fully on board with that. This, that and the other (talk) 00:20, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @This, that and the other Yes - looking at the tracking categories, they show 521 pages using parameter, and 3 pages using parameter   (though both of those could go up). I'll have a think about how best to handle the hovertext - it should be possible to do something bespoke if needs be, so long as it doesn't get in the way of the usual parameters.
