Philistine
Not yet, but some of the definitions on philistine need to be moved to the capitalized page, so it won't be a redirect once that happens. --EncycloPetey 02:56, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I see. --Duncan 03:03, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

sibilant
When you added this Czech translation, you marked it as "masculine". I didn't think Czech adjectives had an inherent gender. When you mark the gender of a word inside the template, you are saying that it has only that gender, which is why we don't usually mark the gender of adjectives (because their gender can vary). --EncycloPetey 19:29, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I thought it important to tell the user to which of the genders the form applies to (most Czech adjectives indeed have gender-dependent suffixes, though a not-insignificant minority ends the same regardless of gender), so that the user is not mislead by being at en-wikt and supposing that if no gender is given the same form applies to all. Or do you mean that it should be done like "   ", as inserting the gender in the template categorizes it wrongly or something like that? --Duncan 02:35, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Spanish, Latin, an most other languages that inflect have gender-dependent endings for their adjectives. We generally do not mark the "gender" of an adjecitve in a Translation table because the gender is mutable with the change of ending.  The reason we mark gender of nouns is that nouns have fixed gender (in almost all cases).  When I come across an adjective marked for gender, I wonder whether the complete form of the adjective changes in other genders.  If only the ending changes, that's normal and the listed form should be the lemma.  It isn't relevant to the Translations section to know whether an adjective is m, f, m and f, c, or n.  It will certainly have additional forms provided on the word's entry. --EncycloPetey 19:47, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

 * A lemma is whatever form a dictionary decides is the primary form for looking up that word. For most langauges and words, we use the singular form of the noun as the lemma, the masculine singular adjective as elmma, and the infinitive of the verb as lemma.  However, this can (and does) vary with language and between various dictionaries.  On Wiktionary, the lemma is where most information about that word (in all its forms) is placed.  So, we would give a full definition and information at the English verb be:, but not repeat that information on the entries for am:, are:, is:, was:, were:, etc.  A lemma is just the primary spelling/form to look up information for a particular word. --EncycloPetey 20:12, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Prepositional Pronouns
Hi Duncan, I was just working on the article on aig, because I thought that the inflected forms could be presented much better - they are not just derived terms, they are a system, and although each form should have its own article, the system should be charted here properly, including the emphatic forms. Anyway, I had started to make a better form of table to present this and then I noticed that you have a template you use for prepositional pronouns and I am probably messing with it. So I will back off and leave it to you. However, can I suggest that you look at what I have started to do at aig and incorporate it into your template? There are only a limited number of prepositions which have these inflected forms, and they should all be presented in the same way. I am new here so I will let you decide. --Doric Loon 11:43, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, is that better? --Doric Loon 15:09, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I've done air as well. Please check these. I notice that in the articles on the emphatic forms you have written that the suffix -san, -se etc means -self. I think you are right that highlanders often translate it this way, but only because in Highland English, "himself" is an emphatic form of "him". For most English speakers this is misleading, since it suggests that these are reflexive pronouns. I am not aware they can be reflexive, and that certainly isn't their main use. The other thing I have been playing around with today is the particles cha, nach, gu etc, and their combination with bheil, eil, robh.  That was a real mess. Someone had written, for example, that cha is a verb. I hope I have tidied those up, but perhaps you can follow me around and see I haven't done anything stupid. Not doing any more tonight anyway. Best, --Doric Loon 23:18, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the tips on format etc. I have a lot to learn there. You are right: the translation -self is sometimes right. --Doric Loon 20:26, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

kick
Hi, opening the Translation tables at Verb for editing I came across this at the second table:. The French and German translations really give examples, but is this approved use of Trans tables? --Duncan 18:30, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No. That idea was abandoned.  The examples should be placed on the pages for the French and German translations, not in the Translations tables. --EncycloPetey 02:13, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Battle of Frogs and Mice
I have created batrachomyomachian (it's hard to determine a "standard" capitalisation, because this is very rare in English). I'd never heard of this parody before and I'm quite sure English has no simpler term derived from it. Equinox 00:10, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

tlumit and ztlumit
Hi, I think that when a perfective form is derived from an imperfective one, as is the case with ztlumit and tlumit, the imperfective form should be the main entry. Further cases: dělat versus udělat, zpívat versus zazpívat and vyzpívat, sekat vs posekat, mračit se vs zamračit se, jet vs přijet and dojet, nést vs donést. By main entry I mean the one that has the definitions, while the secondary only links to it. Thus, I would have created tlumit as the main entry. In any case, the more basic form should have definitions, even if these should be replicated in the derived form. The rationale behind this choice is that the more basic, less derived form is chosen as the lemma form—the form that carries the substantive information. What do you think? --Dan Polansky 13:52, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I think it's hard to make general rules - consider donést, which is sometimes the perfective form of nést (Donesl to až na konec cesty), sometimes of donášet (Donesla jí tu zprávu ještě za tepla), while the perfective of donášet is sometimes donosit rather than donést (V kolik hodin to donosíte? said to sb who's delivering something - and the imperfective of donosit is more usually nosit...), to say nothing of the all the other perfective forms primarily deriving from nést. On the other hand in the case of tlumit and ztlumit you are right, I admit I created it like that just because I was handling the latter first, so I'll "redirect" them - and hopefully won't forget to take more care about "this aspect of aspects" in the future ;-).--Duncan 15:29, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I am not saying that every single derived form should only contain a redirecting definition; what I am saying is that each base form should have a full entry. While dovážet can be defined by redirecting to dovézt, dovézt should better have a full entry, just like vézt. --Dan Polansky 10:16, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, when you put it like this I certainly agree. --Duncan 10:39, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

The gender of c
Hi, I propose that you avoid adding the gender of c to Czech adjectives. AFAIK Czech does not have the gender of common, for which this is supposed to stand, unlike, say, Swedish.

For reference: Grammatical gender, and specifically Grammatical_gender.

Correct me if I'm wrong, ideally with a reference to a source. --Dan Polansky 11:36, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Oh hell, so this is what "common gender" means? I thought it stood for forms which are the same in a given language regardless of gender... Well, you live and learn (perhaps I should use the Scottish proverb for this: Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in nae ither :- --Duncan 23:30, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

 * At first, I liked what you did at oční, using . Giving it more thought, though, I realized that it is only the non-declined form "oční" that is indifferent about gender. Consider "Jdu k očnímu lékaři" and "Jdu k oční lékařce" or "očního lékaře" and "oční lékařky" or "očního bělma" and "oční rohovky". I do not see how to handle this; of course, this information should at some point be stated in an inflection table. German adjectives at English Wiktionary state no gender, such as schwarz. The Czech Wiktionary states no gender at adjectives, such as aerobní. Another model, however, is provided by Spanish alegórico. --Dan Polansky 22:45, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Why not treat this by three inflection tables, or one devided into three parts? Anyway, sooner or later we'll even have to handle nouns which may be of more than one gender - rada comes to mind, although at this time we don't have the "pane rado" sense yet. Alternatively, I would see giving no gender as the lesser evil when compared to only giving the masculine one (current  ) for these - while the latter is not, technically speaking, incorrect, it's certainly misleading the user. --Duncan 23:08, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * A model inflection table for the adjectives with the so called soft declension such as jarní is at Czech declension. I like the inflection table from Czech declension: it is compact and easy to overview.
 * As regards the inflection line of adjectives with soft declension: It seems to me that instead of, it would be better to stay with  , also to avoid future possible migration, as the markup  is suspect to me in its complexity; what it effectively marks is that the adjective is a soft-declined one. Every lemma entry of a Czech adjective is for all the genders; that holds true also of the entries with hard declension. Put differently and specifically, the entry of mladý also represents mladá and mladé; the declension of all three genders should be present at mladý. If you want to, I can let  default on empty gender instead of on the masculine gender, so the inflection lines of adjectives will have no gender marked per default. The same effect can also be achieved using  with soft-declined adjectives. --Dan Polansky 08:23, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

 * (1) Yes, the inflection table at Czech declension looks quite good. (2) The idea that declensions for all three genders should be at the lemma entry sounds reasonable to me, so we could possibly even use Czech declension. (3) I tried at oční and it worked, so I think I'll stick to that (with multiple gender adjectives) - no need for changing . I don't mind if we don't have any gender where the form is the same for each of them, I'm just opposed to having one without informing that the form applies to the other two as well. --Duncan 19:06, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Re: "I'm just opposed to having one without informing that the form applies to the other two as well." Sounds good.
 * On another note, I've created two declension tables for adjectives while writing my previous post. You can see them in action at jarní and mladý. --Dan Polansky 19:20, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Hmm, wanted to add the former to oční but you beat me to it ;-) --Duncan 19:24, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

tabiya
I'm unwilling to base a definition on Everything2, since it is also a type of wiki, and a non-collaborative one at that. However, it appears that indeed what defines the tabiya is not that the game starts can be moved there (though I guess it can be so by agreement between the players), but rather it marks a point in an opening when a sequence of streamlined moves comes to an end and play can actually diverge. I'll go and update the definition. Circeus 22:23, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

marshmallow
Děkuji vám. Then it was just me. ;) Ferike333 17:48, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Re:Nincs mit
Yes, nincs mit means you're welcome but it's informal, you'd use it only amongst friends or on the web (so you're OK to say it to me, it is not informality, I'd use it so). But if you need to be formal, you'd say (nagyon) szívesen /(very) gladly/ or kérem which is a bit archaic and means the same as your prosím. The latter I'd never use. By the way, if you want to say a formal thank you in Hungarian, you'd say köszönöm (szépen) /I thank it (nicely)/, or informally kösz(i) to which you might get a very very informal reply, szivi which is slang, non-standard and unacceptable to say to older or to those you do not know. Note that the formal phrases do absolutely not need a formal personal pronoun or a formal verb conjugation, nor informals do need informals, it just depends on your relation to the one you're saying it to and on your mood to express yourself. Hungarians can care a lot in these things :) By the way, where did you get this phrase from? I couldn't find it on Wiktionary, yet. Ferike333 19:08, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Szívesen! It's nice of you to remember that old memories so precisely. Chiefly if they're in connection with Hungary :) No, the term Slovakian Hungarian is not controversial and normally should not be, so it isn't for me, but nowadays (I claim) there are some groups, we call them hungarists, for whom it would be - long story. By the way, in Hungarian, we have two words for Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, German, etc. One refers to the natonality (by own feeling or sometimes by citizenship), and the other to the location. The former one is simply the name of the nation, the latter form is made from the name of the actual country with the suffix -i, so we can differentiate these two things very well. So they would be called szlovákiai magyarok in Hungarian. If you live in Czechia, then you're a csehországi cseh but this phrase sounds obviously strange. We mainly use these double adjectival structures when we are talking about the parts of the former Hungary, which are inhabited by Hungarians, e.g. (or erdélyi - Transylvanian) magyarok, ausztriai magyarok, ukrajnai (or rather kárpátalji - Trancarpatian) magyarok, szerbiai magyarok, etc., while a simple Romanian, Austrian, Ukrainian and Serbian would be called szerb, ukrán, osztrák and román. Sorry for being so long but since you mentioned ;) Did I write Děkuji vám well? Sorry, I don't know much Czech however I understand a bit through Russian (e.g prosím). Ferike333 16:04, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

"ráno"
Hi, I would like to add a gloss to ráno that indicates the time range of "ráno", behind the definition "early morning". But frankly, I am quite unsure about the time range that "ráno" is supposed to denote. Do you have an idea?

My wild guess would be six to ten o'clock, or from the sunrise to three hours after sunrise, or something of the sort. I do realize that the time range probably varies with speaker and context, and yet, I wish I had a better idea of what "ráno" refers to. --Dan Polansky 14:16, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm afraid the usage of "ráno" is much too varying, depending on the speaker and the context, to be explainable in a gloss - I think even a Usage note would be comparatively lengthy. Of course, there are definitions to be found, like the one in the Czech Wikipedia, namely "úsek mezi průchodem slunce obzorem a poledníkem místa" (allegedly from Ottův slovník naučný), but I believe such defs smell to high heaven of prescriptivism. AFAICT, some people decide whether it is or isn't morning at a particular time by "how many o'clock" it is (so that eg 6 am is/isn't a morning for them regardless of the time of year), what matters for others is when the sun rises (so that it's immaterial whether it's 4, 6 or 8 am); most people are kind of "combining" these two; in all cases this is affected by the person's opinion about what is the "normal" or "natural" time for getting up; and hardly anybody feels that "at this very minute it stopped being ráno and dopoledne began".

 * To sum it up: Personally I believe that the very vagueness of "early morning" is in this particular matter the best way of conveying the meaning. I'm afraid I disappointed you, but that's the way I see it. --Duncan 17:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

 * (FWIW: My own interpretation of "ráno" would be approximately like this: From the time I get up, provided it's at least about 3 or 4 am, depending on the season; until the time when it's well after sunrise, I've already had at least one coffee and two ciggies, but not later than about nine or ten, depending on the season and on when I got up. Not much helpful, is it? :-

 * Thanks anyway. The time range for "ráno" is fuzzy, but that does not prevent it from being defined. I'll see what I can come up with at some later point. --Dan Polansky 13:49, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

gd-noun
Seeing all the hard work you've been doing reminded me that we didn't have a template, so I created one. You can see it in use on àros, and I'll be writing documentation in a moment here. Let me know if you encounter any problems with the template. It will function even if the gender, genitive, and plural parameters are all missing. --EncycloPetey 21:22, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Actually I'm using a "quasi-template" of my own I've made here, but I'll change it accordingly, it's more WT-like. --Duncan 21:53, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The documentation should be done now. If you come up with better (real) examples to use in the Quick Guide section, then please replace the invented examples. --EncycloPetey 21:58, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'll put there some more suitable examples next week. I've two questions, though:
 * Many masculine nouns in Gaelic have identical genitive singular and nominative plural, eg ceann - can the template be tweaked to display it like "genitive and plural cinn" instead of "genitive cinn, plural cinn"? (Words of this sort make genitive plural differently, so it's usual in Gaelic dictionaries to point this out.)
 * Much less often, but now and then I come across a word with three possible genitives or three possible plurals. (Bùth is the only one I know of that has even four recognised plural forms.) Thus, can the options for and  be added?
 * Thanks, --Duncan 22:57, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

 * The gen/plural being identical should be simple to add, and I think I can set the template to accommodate a triple genitive and plural. --EncycloPetey 12:57, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Also, I don't think I mentioned it, but the template is "accelerated". This means that if you have your preferences set correctly (and the entry isn't too weird), you can usually generate the "form of" pages by clicking on the linked word and saving. If your preferences are set correctly, the link will appear green instead of red (assuming you aren't red-green colorblind). --EncycloPetey 13:42, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Wow, that's cooool! --Duncan 14:04, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Nice, huh? Thank User:Conrad.Irwin who developed the process, and many langugaes already have accelerated templates (you'll notice more green links now that you've turned on that preference).  You do still have to be sure the generated form isn't nonsense, however, it takes away all the cutting and pasting and such.  If the accelerated pages need some special modifications in the way they're done, you'll probably have to ask Conrad.  I'm not quite skilled enough to handle that end of things yet.  Also, the accelerated page may need hand editing for pages where the same form is both genitive and plural, etc. --EncycloPetey 14:08, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

 * That's all right, luckily I'm the kind of guy who takes quite some before deciding he knows some new feature well enough to start skipping the "preview stage" ;-) .--Duncan 14:16, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I think now handles a triple genitive. Please give the template a try on an entry with one, and perhaps test it out on another double genitive and a standard entry to be sure I didn't break something. --EncycloPetey 14:14, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

 * It's OK, I tried them all and they all work as they should, thanks. --Duncan 14:31, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Good. I've used the same code to permit three plural forms, and this is ready to be tested. --EncycloPetey 14:39, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Works as well, I had one pre-made, so to say, at sròn and it worked even "backwards" ;-) .--Duncan 14:44, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

The template now handles cases where the genitive and plural are identical. I've assumed that in these cases, there will only be one genitive and plural. The acceleration in these cases generates a "genitive" form-of page, which would then have to be modified by hand to also be a plural form-of page. If this situation is common enough to want the template to generate a combination genitive/plural form-of entry, then you'd have to ask Conrad for help setting that up, since I do not know how to do so. --EncycloPetey 15:24, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

 * All right, I'll do that (it never happens with feminine nouns but very often with masculine ones). Thanks a lot again for all that effort, I'm sure it'll help (not only) me a lot in the future! --Duncan 15:43, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contribution so far. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

 * How to edit a page is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.
 * Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard, the easiest way to do this is to copy exactly an existing page for a similar word.
 * Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words Wiktionary is interested in including, there is also a list of things that Wiktionary is not for a higher level overview.
 * The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
 * We have discussion rooms in which you can ask any question about Wiktionary or its entries, a glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! If you have any questions, bring them to the Information desk, or ask me on my talk page. If you do so, please sign your posts with four tildes: ~ which automatically produces your username and the current date and time.

Ginger Beer
Hi, I just have a style question. I noticed you changed the vertical list of Chinese translations into a horizontal list on the ginger beer page. Is that how I should format the translations next time?
 * Yes. All tranlsations are listed by language.  The languages appear in alphabetical order as separate bullets, but multiple tranlsations for a single language are as a list separated by commas.  For Chinese, there are additional issues that I am not completely familiar woth.  So, if you have questions specific to Chinese (such as dealing with Traditional and Simplified forms), I recommend asking User:A-cai, who is our leading contributor in Chinese languages, and who knows Wiktionary format very well. --EncycloPetey 17:51, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Turing word

I'd noticed this term being used on comments (on blogsites, slashdot, etc), didn't get the definition from context, so came here looking. Not here, not on other user-gen dictionaries, and yet it was being used without explanation, as if already well known. Does anyone know the origin? For example, is it the actual name of the CAPTCHA test used by one specific website?

Also, the first three definitions are pretty much a rephrasing of the same thing. Is that reasonable, or redundant. -- 203.171.196.116 21:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Hello. The origin is presumably what you put for an etymology: Turing test: + word:. I merged some of your senses. If the two remaining senses are the same, i.e. it only refers to a Web CAPTCHA and not (generally speaking) any mechanism for telling human from computer, then we should drop sense 2 as well. I've also RFVed it, because I suspect it might be too new a coinage to meet our criteria at WT:CFI. Equinox ◑ 21:21, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I'd like to put the original Def.4 back. Or speedy-del the lot. Since that's the only context I've seen the phrase used. Ie, when commenters are discussing something, then notice that their CAPTCHA word relates to the topic and addendum their posts, "Turing word: Freedom. Yeah right, no freedom under this administration!" Moreso, it seems to be a game, to use the word in a sentence relevant to the topic. And yet, as I said above, it is never explained, as if everyone else just knows the term/game. It seemed suspiciously mature usage. {Template:UserShrugs} Wiser heads and all that -- 203.171.196.116 21:33, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, you will have trouble citing that bloggy usage per WT:CFI, since we don't use Weblogs as sources. To me, it looks no different from an utterance like (say) "I bought some eggs. Price: two dollars" (i.e. the price was two dollars; the Turing word was <whatever>). Being quoted as a game doesn't really give it a distinct dictionary sense — though Wikipedia might want to document the "game" as encyclopaedic content. Equinox ◑ 21:46, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

RFV discussion
Equinox ◑ 21:09, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Google gets 139 hits for this, but I'd have to look quite hard to get three "usable" ones. It's not sum of parts if it does exist (IMO). So, good luck! Mglovesfun (talk) 21:26, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * How to edit a page is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or make a hyperlink. The Wiktionary tutorial is a more wordy, multi-page document that helps you through those same formatting issues, and also touches on a couple of other issues relevant to editing.
 * The document What Wiktionary is not may be of interest. In particular, if you've edited Wikipedia in the past, you should note that Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia and does not have Wikipedia-style page titles.
 * There is a technical guide to how to start a new page. But you'll also want to look at our guidelines for how to format an entry (what goes where) and our criteria for inclusion (what can be included), which are our two main policy documents. (You can get a feel for how to format an entry by looking at existing entries.)
 * The sandbox is a safe place for testing markup.
 * The FAQ has, of course, some frequently (and some infrequently) asked questions, and their answers.

I hope you enjoy editing here! By the way, you can sign your comments on talk (discussion) pages using four tildes, like this:, which automatically produces your name (or IP number if you're not signed in) and the current date and time. If you have any questions, then see the help pages, add a question to one of the discussion rooms or ask me on my talk page. — msh210  ℠  22:01, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Interwiki links
The current draft version of this template creates an interwiki link to the non-English Wiktionary entry if the named parameter is given. This matches the style used by, but is a divergence from conventions, which restrict interwiki links to the translation section and to the page housing the English Wiktionary entry. Since bots usually populate entry pages with interwiki links, this feature will be of limited use whenever the English Wiktionary already has an entry for the linked term. So, should I remove that nonstandard interwiki link feature? Rod (A. Smith) 06:34, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I don’t like them. They are distracting. H. (talk) 12:34, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * It does seem like overkill. And there is a difference between here and {t}: an English-speaking user seeing a {term} reference will want to look at the en.wikt entry; and will usually not find the FL.wikt entry useful. A user looking at translations is interested in the FL word for a specific language, and may very well find the FL.wikt entry comprehensible and useable. I'd drop the FL.wikt links from {term}. Robert Ullmann 12:58, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Removed. Rod (A. Smith) 16:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * From resume: From Latin resumere (re- + sumere)

 * From usage notes for ghey: The spelling is typically used to differentiate the meaning of "lame" from the homophonic meanings of "homosexual" or "happy," so as to retain the pejorative meaning, without the "happy or joyful" misinterpretation.
 * From usage notes for ghey: The spelling is typically used to differentiate the meaning of “lame” from the homophonic meanings of “homosexual” or “happy”, so as to retain the pejorative meaning, without the “happy or joyful” misinterpretation.

 * From usage notes for hopefully: Many adverbs are used as sentence modifiers in this way without comment, like interestingly, frankly, clearly, luckily, unfortunately—it is unclear why hopefully has been singled out for deprecation. ...

 * Stop words (well-known and understood, usually very short, words): e.g. “the”, “and”, “where”
 * Stop words (well-known and understood, usually very short, words): e.g., ,

Paul G also notes the following types of mention that may need special treatment (in summary, embolden English terms, italicise those in other languages that use the Latin alphabet, and leave words in other scripts unchanged):
 * English vs. non-English: Italicising referenced non-English words also distinguishes them from both surrounding text and from English words; a possible case against the need to make the latter distinction is that Wiktionary defines non-English words too.
 * noun is from Anglo-French noun, from Old French nom (also spelled non), from Latin nomen ("name").
 * is from Anglo-French noun:, from Old French nom: (also spelled non:), from Latin nomen:.
 * Latin script vs. non-Latin script: It is important that terms in scripts other than the Latin alphabet are not emboldened or italicised as fine detail can be obscured by doing this. In any case, the fact that the terms are in another script is sufficient to distinguish them from any surrounding text.
 * First recorded in the Yongbi eocheonga, 1447, as 말.
 * First recorded in the Yongbi eocheonga, 1447, as.
 * non-words: Hypothetical etymons (such as those in Proto-Indo-European) should be are treated like other non-English terms, but not italicised wikified, as Wiktionary does not define them (they are non-words).
 * From Middle English < Old English word < Proto-Germanic *wurða- < Proto-Indo-European base *werə- ('to speak').
 * From Middle English < Old English word: < Proto-Germanic *undefined: < Proto-Indo-European base *undefined:.

The above lists are my scratch pad used to outline the requirementsbelow. Rod (A. Smith) 21:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Mentions by type
Following is a condensed version of the scratch pad above, showing each distinct type of mention required.

Some readers may want English mentions to display in a different style from non-English mentions. allows that distinction. Readers can choose between several styles through WT:PREFS, including italics, double-quoted, single-quoted, or bold (default pending discussion and vote). As User:Paul G notes, a possible case against the need to make the English/non-English distinction is that Wiktionary defines non-English words too. Thus, may be abandoned if the community so chooses.
 * Simple English mentions:
 * From word: + ...
 * From + ...
 * English mentions with alternate text:
 * From inflect: + ...
 * From + ...
 * English mentions with a sense-refining gloss:
 * From gloss: + ...
 * From + ...
 * From gloss: + ...
 * From + ...
 * Non-CFI, stop words, and other unlinked mentions:
 * Common short words such as the:, and:, where:, ....
 * Common short words such as, , , ....

Readers can also customize how displays Latin (Roman) script (e.g. English, French, German, etc., not just Latin-language) mentions through WT:PREFS. Per the straw poll Votes/2007-08/style for mentioned terms, the preliminary default is for italics.

 * Simple Latin (Roman) script mentions:
 * From verbum: + ...
 * From verbum: + ...
 * Latin (Roman) script mentiones with alternate text:
 * From verbo: + ...
 * From verbo: + ...
 * Latin (Roman) script mentions with alternate text and English gloss translation:
 * From verbo: + ...
 * From verbo: + ...
 * Latin (Roman) script mentions with just a gloss:
 * From verbum: + ...
 * From verbum: + ...
 * Non-CFI or otherwise unlinked mentions (e.g. hypothetical etymons such as those in Proto-Indo-European):
 * word: < Proto-Germanic *undefined: < Proto-Indo-European base *undefined:.
 * Old English word: < Proto-Germanic *undefined: < Proto-Indo-European base *undefined:.
 * Mentions that link to a language-specific-section:
 * The preposition in: is used with accusative case if...
 * The preposition is used with accusative case if...
 * Mentions that require special formatting (leave blank to customize wikilinks):
 * undefined: is never used: contracted into au:.
 * undefined: is never used: contracted into au:.

Mentions in non-Latin (non-Roman) scripts follow different style guidelines. As many people have noted, using bold or italics for terms in scripts other than Latin (Roman) can obscure fine detail (e.g. with Chinese characters) or significantly alter the term's appearance (e.g. with Cyrillic). The fact that the terms are in another script is usually sufficient to distinguish them from any surrounding text. (Exceptions such as кот are duly noted but seem negligible.)
 * Simple alternate script mentions:
 * From λόγος: + ...
 * From λόγος: + ...
 * In many cases, this character is exchangeable with 辭:.
 * In many cases, this character is exchangeable with 辭:.
 * Unlinked alternate script mentions:
 * From colloquial Arabic undefined:, originally..., from علم:.
 * From colloquial Arabic, originally..., from.
 * First recorded in the Yongbi eocheonga, 1447, as undefined:.
 * First recorded in the Yongbi eocheonga, 1447, as.
 * Mixed Latin (Roman) script and alternate script mentions:
 * buxus: < πύξος:
 * Latin buxus: < Greek πύξος:

Greek script
Can we have this template edited to use for Greek script sc=Grek ? This would match what we currently do for Etymologies etc.--Williamsayers79 07:32, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I would think you would just use sc=polytonic? Robert Ullmann 09:21, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Or look at the font support in polytonic and in Grek (ex ELchar) and see what Template:Grek should be doing. (I haven't looked) Robert Ullmann 09:25, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

 * uses . Should  be changed to match ?  Is there clear consensus on which set of fonts is better for Greek script?  Rod (A. Smith) 17:35, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Language sections
If lang is given, I'd suggest using (and not "L"), so it doesn't require the lang:xx template if the xx template isn't linked, and catches the other optimizations. (understanding that this is brand new) Robert Ullmann 09:34, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

And you don't need #if:lang if not desired,  {{{lang|}}}|word  will work just fine. (It will always call t-sect, but that isn't an extra template if {{temp|t}} is also used in the entry. If not desirable, it takes a bit more magic anyway; the existing code references {{temp|lang:}} every time ;-) Robert Ullmann 09:56, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

 * At WT:GP, DAVilla suggested supporting {{{L}}}, so let's have him chime in about the suggestion to remove it. DAVilla?  Rod (A. Smith) 17:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I thought we were doing away with {{temp|language}}, but if Robert supports it then {{{L}}} isn't necessary. The one thing I would suggest, though, is moving the special code at {{temp|t-sect}} to {{temp|language}} if it's really more efficient, and the code at {{temp|language}} to a subtemplate, so that all functions that call {{temp|language}} can take advantage of this. DAVilla 23:35, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

 * It is more efficient iff there are a number of calls (10-hundreds). It is just extra overhead if there are 2-5 or so. Here, {term} should be calling {language} or {t-sect}, not referencing the lang: templates (so it is easier to make them go away). As it is now, {language} is fine until we decide to unlink all of the plain templates (no hurry at this point, we'll get to it, probably take a vote but there is enough going on now that I wouldn't start it for the present). Robert Ullmann 12:52, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * OK. The code is now using {{temp|t-sect}}.  I will let the two of you sort out any moves between {{temp|language}} and {{temp|t-sect}}.  If {{temp|t-sect}} is eventually deprecated, I'm sure somebody will update {{temp|term}} as necessary.  Rod (A. Smith) 16:32, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

section links?
How does one include a link to another language section in the same page with this template? For some reason, using  or   in the first field will add an extra "#" at the end... see e.g. acharnement or fermata. Circeus 16:46, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Use the parameter.  I have added that parameter in acharnement as an example.  Rod (A. Smith) 18:11, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, it works with the abbreviations only. Circeus 21:49, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's right. Currently, the parameters that accept languages as their arguments (e.g. the first parameter of ) only accept ISO codes.  If you feel strongly that it should also accept the English name for the language, say so.  Perhaps the folks in WT:GP can shed some light on the issue.  Rod (A. Smith) 22:04, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * No, it's okay. I could swear I hit a template or two that used full names at some point, though... Circeus 22:17, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * FYI, the template now supports ad hoc section links, so if you want, you can use syntax like, , or even , although in the last case the parameter is perhaps preferable.  Rod (A. Smith) 00:16, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Separate styles for English and non-English mentions

 * The following discussion, up to 05:03, 29 September 2007 (UTC), moved here from WT:BP. Rod (A. Smith) 05:03, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: Category:Form of templates is now at Category:Form-of templates. - dcljr (talk) 02:48, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

We have no standard format for mentioned terms. Mentioned terms be in any language, may be written in roman or non-roman scripts, and may display with alternate text, transliterations, and/or English translation glosses. Some editors use bold to mention terms. Others use italics  or just wikilink them. Some editors italicize transliterations and some just enclose in parentheses. Some editors designate English translation glosses with single quotes, some with double quotes, some with italics, some with parentheses, and some with no marking at all.

The most conclusive agreement about formatting mentioned terms was the vote about formatting “form of” definitions. I believe a significant component to the agreement was that readers can customize the format of “form of” definitions so they don't have to live with the default.

For consistency, I hope to propose one or more templates for mentioning terms, especially terms that require special scripts, transliterations, or gloss translations. The templates will allow each reader to customize their output format. For example the simplest use of displays the linked term using whatever format the user has chosen for the “form of” templates, e.g. “ From  + ... ”:
 * From word: + ...

Common formatting options match the “form of” options in WT:CUSTOM:

 * Customize the output of by adding any of the following to Special:Mypage/monobook.css:
 * For plain mentions (i.e., to mention word ), use this:
 * For bold mentions (i.e., to mention word ), use this:
 * For italic mentions (i.e., to mention word ), use this:
 * For italic mentions (i.e., to mention word ), use this:
 * For italic mentions (i.e., to mention word ), use this:

are exposed through WT:PREFS and explained at WT:CUSTOM. 19:34, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Additional benefit comes with non-English and non-roman script terms, e.g. in an ===Etymology=== section, one might use “From + ...”, which produces this:
 * From + ...

Using one or more templates like can help us standardize the format of mentions while allowing each reader to choose the style he or she prefers. In order to determine the number of templates, their names, their default styles, and their options, I need to know what conditions guide your choice of formatting for mentioned terms. The conditions I know about are these:

 * In ===Etymology===, terms that meet WT:CFI
 * In ===Etymology===, terms that do not meet WT:CFI (different because they are not linked)
 * In ====Usage notes====
 * In definitions that don't use the “form of” templates
 * In ====Synonyms====, ====Derived terms====, and similar lists
 * In templates that perform their own formatting (e.g. “”, “”, and “” )
 * Mentions of individual IPA characters (added 00:37, 23 August 2007 (UTC) per User:EncycloPetey in WT:GP)

Are there others? Rod (A. Smith) 04:12, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Commented in Grease pit. Synopsis of my view:
 * I have no opinion about mentions in Usage notes, and probably have not been consistent there in the past.
 * I use no special formatting for synonyms, etc.; the only issue there is transliteration format within the Translations tables.
 * Definition formats should follow the "form of" templates, which style we voted on.
 * Putting mentioned words in italics is frought with peril since it can radically alter the appearance of scripts like Cyrillic, as Stephen and I both argued when the "form of" vote occured.
 * I see Etymology format as special and separate from all the others.
 * --EncycloPetey 04:49, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The italic Cyrillic issue will not be a problem because mentioned terms of roman script (ISO code “Latn”, which would be the default) will be formatted differently from mentioned terms in other scripts (e.g. Cyrillic). For non-roman script mentions, the appropriate script template will be used.  For roman script mentions, whether to italicize will be based on user preferences.  Rod (A.

 * I'm pro-italics but anti-italicized-Hebrew-lettering. The solution? automatically de-italicizes its contents using CSS.  can do the same thing. —Ruakh TALK 05:30, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

and now meet the requirements I have received so far. is intended for use in running text outside of “form of” definitions (e.g. in ===Etymology=== and ====Usage notes==== sections). It allows readers to choose the format for mentions of Latin script terms. is intended for non-Latin script entries and gloss-accompanied entries in ====Synonyms====, ====Antonyms====, ====Related terms==== (“paronyms”), and other simple lists. To give a full demonstration, I first need to know the correct default format for Latin script mentions in ===Etymology=== and ====Usage notes==== sections. DAVilla points out that the draft policy Etymology formats non-English Latin script mentions with italics:
 * Following copied from User talk:DAVilla:
 * If you look at Etymology you will see italicized Roman text. While it's unclear what style should apply to English words in the etymology, and while usage notes are even less clear, in practice italics is used almost universally for at least foreign words in Roman script in the etymology. As you know, Roman roots in definitions should be boldfaced by default. Therefore there are already at least two conventions for mention. DAVilla 01:42, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I assume the primary reason this is done is that such works are primarily in one language and are citing "foreign" words. On Wiktionary, that doesn't apply because we include all languages. It would also be confusing to sometimes have the mentioned term in italics and sometimes to have a transcription in italics.  We already have confusion over whether transcriptions get their own entries, and I forsee inconsistent italicization int he Etymology section leading to more of that. --EncycloPetey 18:35, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

However, EncycloPetey points out that bold has advantages even for Latin script mentions in etymologies. So, should we vote on the default style for mentions in ===Etymology=== and ====Usage notes==== sections or should I assume either format for this demonstration? Rod (A. Smith) 06:51, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean; could you elaborate a bit on what you're asking? --EncycloPetey 18:35, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I meant that the draft Etymology guideline says to use italics, but a vote about a closely related style decision (and the actions of many editors) chose bold. I would be quite happy to change the draft Etymology guideline and use bold as the consistent default, but hesitate to do so without clear community consensus.  You actually answered my question above, stating your preference for consistent use of bold (“It would also be confusing to sometimes have the mentioned term in italics and sometimes to have a transcription in italics”).  So far, DAVilla is the only person who has stated that the community may actually agree with maintaining two separate format styles for mentioned words in Latin script that appear in running text (one format for mentions in etymologies, per Etymology, and one for “form of” definitions, per the vote).  If DAVilla acknowledges that it would be OK to update Etymology to make bold the Latin script default (keeping in mind that individual readers can override that default with whatever style he or she prefers), I will be able to proceed.  If DAVilla does not so acknowledge, we may need a vote to determine the default style for mentions of Latin script terms and phrases within etymologies.  Rod (A. Smith) 18:56, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Personally, I also prefer that mentioned terms be italicized, not bolded, in etymologies and usage notes. I have no idea where the community consensus might lie. —Ruakh TALK 19:27, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Perhaps a short (one week) straw poll would be useful to get a feel for community opinion. --EncycloPetey 19:52, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Done: Votes/2007-08/Formatting of mentioned terms . —Ruakh TALK 21:34, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Redone: Votes/2007-08/style for mentioned terms. (Not meant to be dismissive.  It will just be much easier for me to turn feedback from this straw poll into a proposal than it would be from Ruakh's.)  Rod (A. Smith) 22:15, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The straw poll closed with weak support for the default as italics. Italics will be used for demonstration purposes, and an official vote will be held before promoting  or italics for general use.  Assistance would be much appreciated in better structuring such a vote to allow for meaningful abstain votes.  Rod (A. Smith) 18:23, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I've read quite a few archives and understand that this whole thing was set in motion long ago. I just feel that having mentioned terms in the Latin script differ from those of other scripts is confusing and seems to lend credence to a difference in value between these writing systems; something that should be discouraged. I'd like to see a consistent form across all words shown. BTW, I chose single quotes for mention out of respect for the traditions that do follow this usage and because it sidesteps the issue of italicized Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, etc. or emboldened Han characters, Hangeul, metric terms conflated, etc. The following is only an example and, given the weight of precedence here, probably cannot be considered for implementation, but the overarching theme is what I'm getting at. What do you people think of such a theme for every visible word for users that have no preferences set, regardless of the writing sytem?

 * Actually (use):
 * When writing up railways, the vibration can spill your ink.
 * Conceptually (mention):
 * When writing up 'railways', their history should be noted.
 * Grammatically:
 * When writing up "railways", inflect your verbs to reflect its plural nature.
 * Emphatically:
 * When writing up 'railways', try not to use "railroad".
 * Orthographically:
 * When writing up railways, dot the "i".

 * Sorry, pro-italic people, for the last one being so weak. I couldn't think of a better type of printed word that would be orthogonal to the others. Thecurran 23:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Those are nice distinctions that could be made with writing elsewhere, Thecurran, but for the purposes of this project, such a diverse set of distinctions would likely confuse readers and contributors more than it would clarify. So, your list would probably be simpler as this:
 * When riding up railways, the vibration can spill your ink.
 * When writing up the entry railways:, the relevant history should be noted.
 * When writing railways:, inflect your verbs to reflect its plural nature.
 * When writing railways:, try not to use railroads:.
 * When writing railways:, dot the "i".
 * As you can see, if we only distinguish use from mention, there appears to be no loss of clarity. Rod (A. Smith) 18:56, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

To simplify this discussion, I have restricted the proposal to mentions of terms and phrases withing running text, e.g. etymologies and usage notes, but not -onyms. User:Paul G suggests that some readers may want English running text mentions to appear in a different format from non-English, Latin (Roman) script running text mentions. As he and User:EncycloPetey note, however, English Wiktionary has entries for all languages, so there may be no need to make the English/non-English distinction. allows some readers to choose to see such a distinction while other readers can choose not to have any such distinction. Readers can choose between several styles through WT:PREFS, including italics, double-quoted, single-quoted, or bold. To illustrate the difference, I have the preliminary default format for showing as bold, to distinguish it from the default format for non-English :

 * From + ... (use  for English term)
 * Old English word: < Proto-Germanic *undefined: < Proto-Indo-European base *undefined:. (use for Old English and Proto-Germanic terms)
 * The preposition often precedes this... (use  for English term)
 * The preposition is used with accusative case if... (use  for German term)
 * From + ... (use  for English term)
 * From verbo: + ... (use for Latin term)
 * From λογος: + ... (use for Greek term)
 * From colloquial Arabic, originally..., from . (use for Arabic terms)

Readers can customize the format of mentions, so the only problem with is that, if we keep it, editors would need to distinguish between English and non-English mentions, as above.

Should we have one mention template or two (one for English, the other for non-English)? Rod (A. Smith) 19:34, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * It seems like this is already quite complex, and it seems like its only saving grace is the potential for bots to do it automatically and correct any errors. (There are limitations even to that — for example, editors will need to specify KUchar if they wish to prevent bots from assuming Arab for Kurdish words in Arabic script — but overall I think it should work.) I don't think the same can be said for a – distinction; I think it's too much to expect editors to do this consistently, and too much to expect a bot to correct mistakes by determining whether a Latin-script term is in English or not. —Ruakh TALK 19:56, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for that feedback. So far, one editor favors a single mention template; zero favor two mention templates.  Rod (A. Smith) 18:23, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Oh, do I hear the call of the cat-herder? ;-)  For my part, I think the standard  style looks very weird for English terms.  I can live with it, but it's definitely not how I'd prefer to see this handled.  -- Visviva 15:56, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Do you use bold for English mentions but italics for non-English Latin (roman) script mentions? Rod (A. Smith) 16:21, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I prefer to just keep English terms in plain text. But actually, I don't feel strongly either way. -- Visviva 16:25, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Parentheses
I’d really appreciate if at least there also was a possibility to switch of the parentheses, just like the double quotes. I think they are completely redundant around glosses. H. (talk) 09:20, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

 * OK. First, let me be sure I understand what you want.  Taking three examples from above:
 * From λόγος: + ...
 * undefined: is never used: contracted into au:.
 * From colloquial Arabic عالمة:, originally a feminine adjective meaning ‘learned, knowledgeable’, from علم:.
 * The transliteration and gloss are parenthetical reiterations of the mentioned term, so the above displays as follows:
 * From + ...
 * undefined: is never used: contracted into au:.
 * From colloquial Arabic, originally a feminine adjective meaning ‘learned, knowledgeable’, from.
 * If I simply create an option to strip the parentheses, they would appear something like this:
 * From  lógos + ...
 * à le “to the” is never used: contracted into au.
 * From colloquial Arabic ‘ālima, “singer”, originally a feminine adjective meaning ‘learned, knowledgeable’, from علم ‘alima, “to know”.
 * To me, that seems non-grammatical because, for example, the preposition "from" in the first and last example appear to govern multiple objects instead of one object with a parenthetical reiteration and the second example appears to have two subjects. If there were a way for the template to know whether it appears at the end of a sentence, I could have it replace the parentheses with commas or with an em dash for you.  Should I look into that?  Rod (A. Smith) 16:22, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, Connel requested maximal removal of parentheses at WT:GP. With two editors requesting parenthecide, it's desirable whether I can understand it or not.  :-)  So, I implemented the ability to hide parentheses around transliterations and glosses.  See “Hide parentheses around transliterations and glosses” in WT:PREFS or “The parentheses around transliterations and glosses can be hidden” in WT:CUSTOM.  If my assumption was wrong and you just want to hide parentheses around glosses but not around transliterations, please let me know.  To allow that will require additional tags in, but adding them will not be difficult.  Rod (A. Smith) 08:22, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Indeed, the latter is correct: I want them for transliterations, but not for glosses, since I think the quotes signs around the glosses distinguish them clearly enough already. So what I’d like it to look like:
 * From  (lógos) + …
 * à le ‘to the’ is never used: contracted into au.
 * From colloquial Arabic (‘ālima) ‘singer’, originally a feminine adjective meaning ‘learned, knowledgeable’, from علم (‘alima) ‘to know’.
 * Note that I did not simply add brackets again: I want transliterations non-italic, and I removed some comma’s as well: if there are parentheses, they are not needed. I’m sorry I’m making life so difficult on you, but hey, if the technology is there, why not, right?  Thanks for your efforts! H. (talk) 09:54, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * OK. I have the changes ready.  The tricky new piece is the closing parenthesis between a transliteration and a gloss, which must be hidden by default.  It thus required a change to MediaWiki:Common.css.  Browser caches of that style sheet last up to 31 days:
 * @import "/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=2678400";
 * So, I need to wait 31 days before adding the internal parenthesis to . Otherwise some readers will see an extra parenthesis between transliterations and glosses. In 31 days, I'll change  to support the parenthesized non-italic transliterations with non-parenthesized glosses.  (Feel free to remind me.)  In the meantime,  shows the pending changes.  Too see pending effect, add the following to Special:Mypage/monobook.css:
 * .mention-tr-paren, .mention-tr {font-style:normal}, .mention-tr-gloss-separator-paren {display:inline} .mention-gloss-paren, .mention-tr-gloss-separator-comma {display:none}
 * Then, refresh your browser cache and view the following:
 * undefined: is never used: contracted into au:.
 * From colloquial Arabic, originally a feminine adjective meaning ‘learned, knowledgeable’, from.
 * Coolio? Rod (A. Smith) 18:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Done. Rod (A. Smith) 03:57, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * ... and implemented in WT:PREFS. Select "Hide parentheses around glosses" and "Show parenthesized plain (non-italic) transliterations".  Rod (A. Smith) 07:18, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Perfect, thanks. H. (talk) 17:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Non-links?
Sometimes I want to format a word -style, but without a link; for example, part of the etymology of mithridatism is Mithridates, which probably doesn't meet CFI. Or, for a more common example, usage notes very often refer back to the current headword. So, it seems to me that should support a   boolean parameter; and, if this isn't too complex to be a good idea, I think it should automatically not link the headword unless   is specified. Thoughts? —Ruakh TALK 16:50, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Wait, never mind, that's already supported, and quite cleverly! —Ruakh TALK 16:53, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Transliterations beginning or ending with apostrophes.
Things like these: work inconsistently, because the template works by wrapping  in pairs of single-quotes, so transliterations that begin or end with apostrophes produce trios of single-quotes, which can cause bolding instead of italicizing if there's something else on the line to match.
 * — איש:
 * — לא:

This is easy to fix by using HTML-style tags instead ( and  ), but I thought I'd comment to make sure no one preferred a different way of doing it (like inserting   or   or something — though I haven't tested these and can't vouch that they'd work), or perhaps preferred creating a new class for a CSS file somewhere so readers can present them differently if they want. And also, to make sure there's no other change that should be implemented at the same time, since this is by now quite a widely transcluded template.

—Ruakh TALK 08:25, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

 * The version Rod is going to replace in uses a CSS class, so this will be fixed. Robert Ullmann 08:56, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes. Thanks for the reminder, Robert.  :-)  The new version (supporting  above) is now in place.  Ruakh, does that address your concerns?  Rod (A. Smith) 03:59, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Looks like it, yes. Thanks. :-) —Ruakh TALK 07:50, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * The proper way is (would have been) to use a proper quote sign, instead of a single quote: ’, available from the misc menu under the edit box, or Right Alt+0 on US-intl keyboards. H. (talk) 14:19, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Multiple-element terms
This template is not equipped to link to mentioned terms with a space in the middle, such as Dark Ages or et cetera. --EncycloPetey 04:01, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't understand the problem. Are you trying to write something like Dark Ages:, undefined:, or something else?  Rod (A. Smith) 04:05, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Ah! So the secret is to bump everything into the display slot and leave parameter 1 blank, like this: . I recommend adding such an example to the documentation above, as this is not intuitive. There are situations where a whole phrase will not merit an entry, but linking the components and giving a translation in an etymology is important. --EncycloPetey 04:10, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree with you. I think the way demonstrated above is the most compact syntax we can accomplish without MediaWiki string functions, but you're right that it's far from intuitive.  I'll just borrow your example.  Rod (A. Smith) 04:15, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Including  (s)
See. The  tags used inside the  transclusion do not display — is there any way to make them show?  †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 06:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

 * This edit shows the two tricks required. One key is to use explicit parameter numbers.  The other is to omit parameter 1 and use explicit wikilinks in order to separate the linked term from its linked superscripts.  Rod (A. Smith) 20:25, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
