Talk:-man

-man
Why should words ending in "man" be considered to have been formed by suffixation rather than by compounding? DCDuring TALK 02:47, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the stand alone meanings for man are not the same as the meanings for -man. So regarding the test I like to use "can it stand alone outside of compounds/derived terms with the same meaning?" no it can't. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:17, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Could you give a specific example? To me it seems that, in all apsects, including even the matter of loss of gender-specificity, "man" has all the meanings of "-man". As with the word "man" in an open compound, the precise relationship of "man" to the other element(s) in the compound is determined based in part on the specific semantics inherent in the other element(s) of the compound and in part on the context. DCDuring TALK 11:17, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. I'd consider it a suffix when it has a reduced vowel (as in, , , , , ). When it has a full vowel, I don't think it's a suffix — , for example, seems like prefixation, and and  (which we don't list) feel like regular compounds to me — though of course I'd be open to evidence/arguments otherwise. —Ruakh TALK 12:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * So, when a compound (say flag man) is first formed and "man" is stressed (as it almost always is in the case of flag man, in my experience) then man is the morpheme. But later, if the stress is lost, the morpheme has transformed to -man. How we treat this gets to the question of whether we are attempting to present historical etymology rather than morphology. In previous cases we have favored a historical approach. DCDuring TALK 16:23, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Re: the specific topic: I don't think there's a productive process that would cause "man" to become reduced. If it were to become reduced in "flagman", that would mean that "flag" + "man" had become reanalyzed as "flag" + "-man".  Re: the general question: I think I've always made my opinions clear on this point: there is no conflict between a diachronic and synchronic approach, because both are relevant. (The synchronic approach is usually necessary to explain the "why" of history.) The "we" you refer to has never included me, and I'm never going to be convinced by your perpetual appeals to it. —Ruakh TALK 16:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The pronunciation of such words can differ between speakers, so that's not really conclusive. I pronounce milkman with a schwa in the second syllable myself, and I could easily imagine superman being pronounced the same way. —CodeCat 21:05, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * If you pronounce milkman with a schwa, then I believe you're treating its -man as the suffix, rather than as the noun. Similarly for any speakers who pronounce superman with a schwa. Contrast, say, *, or *. —Ruakh TALK 21:24, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Otherwise we need -woman, -boy, -girl, -person, etc.  There is nothing etymologically different, and any spelling difference is a result of phonological context, not of suffixation.  A pronunciation change is not evidence of affixation, merely of phonological context.  The regional pronunciation will vary.  Also, all of the previously noted compounds have "man" as the main element with a preceding adjective or attributive noun, not the other way round. --EncycloPetey 21:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Re: your last sentence: That's true of most English suffixes. The head of "realization", for example, is the noun suffix -ation. —Ruakh TALK 22:22, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * By the way, I'll preemptively vote keep for [[-woman]] and [[-person]]. —Ruakh TALK 22:24, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The fact that -ation: determines the part of speech is irrelevant, since -ation derives from a Latin suffix -atio:. In Latin, the suffix almost always determined the part of speech, and any suffix derived from Latin is going to have that same property.  The word man: is not from Latin; it comes from the Germanic origins of English, where words are formed by compounding existing words.  This is thus and argument against keeping -man as an entry, just as we would not create a "suffix" entry for every German noun used as the final part of a German compound word.

 * An additional key difference is that -ation: is not an independent word or morpheme; it only occurs as part of another word. Latin suffixes may determine the part of speech, but they add no lexical component to the root.  By contrast, man:, woman:, etc. are all independent words whose original meaning is still clear and present in the compounded words formed.  If there were no independent word man:, or if the supposed suffix -man had a radically different meaning from man, then I'd agree that we should keep it.  However, neither of these conditions is true here. --EncycloPetey 22:49, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. Maybe I could be convinced, you could probably argue it either way. FWIW, the OED's recently-revised M section does not consider man to be a suffix. < class="latinx" >Ƿidsiþ 17:01, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * FWIW the French section (and also for -woman) should remain whatever; they are both formative suffixes in French, albeit for a small number of words (tennisman and rugbyman are two). Also there is no relevant French sense of . I remain unconvinced that the same sense of 'man' in fireman can exist independently, so I'm still leaning towards a keep. --Mglovesfun (talk) 20:47, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

 * I'd say it signifies we may have a missing sense of fire:, and not of man, since there is also firefighter:, firehouse:, and firedog: (animal sense). Either that, or possibly fireman developed from a model of the construction of firefighter. --EncycloPetey 04:33, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I doubt that it is a sense of fire: rather than that there are alternative "case"/prepositional relationships possible between the head of a compound noun and its modifier. One kind of fireman: tends a fire, another kind fights/extinguishes them. For firedog: and firehouse: perhaps it could be a "genitive" relationship: "of or pertaining to". The context probably determines which meaning is either pulled from the lexicon or constructed morphologically. DCDuring TALK 05:34, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. What about bondsman? bd2412 T 20:55, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * What about it? ="man in bonds"; no special meaning of "man" is required. --EncycloPetey 20:59, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Is there any morpheme which isn't classifiable as an affix under this logic? Someone can always assert that some people, sometimes pronounce the compound with the appropriate stress to justify the assertion. We have negligible ability to verify such assertions unless we rely on lemmings.
 * Aren't we just making duplicative work for us and implying that any omitted senses in our affix definitions are in some weak sense improper? For inflected forms, for prepositional phrases, for nouns used attributively we try to avoid duplication. Why is this different? DCDuring TALK 21:30, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, since nobody (in my opinion) has rebutted my argument above, I'll assume it's good. Mglovesfun (talk) 08:41, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

kept, no consensus -- Liliana • 17:27, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Pronunciation
I think there should be a pronunciation made for this suffix, noting the distinction between the full vs reduced vowel, the latter found in words like horseman, sportsman, huntsman, freeman, bondsman, fireman, policeman, etc. They seem to pertain more to professions and this is also the pronunciation found in English surnames that are based on these words. It's worth noting because people not familiar with the English language might not notice the distinction and assume the pronunciation is the same as the word 'man' itself. Word dewd544 (talk) 16:30, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

a man or woman
According to page 721 of Collins English Usage

Plural nationality nouns ending in '-men' sometimes refer to both men and women. Similarly, singular nouns ending in '-man' are sometimes used to refer in a general way to a person of a particular nationality --Backinstadiums (talk) 16:34, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

-person
In WT:Tea room/2022/April, several users opined this should be deleted and railwayman, newsman, etc should be seen as compounds of man. I have no strong feelings, but the last RFD was a decade ago and kept it only due to "no consensus", so it's ripe for a fresh look. Keep !voters in 2011 noted that the pronunciation is sometimes reduced, but I don't see why that'd make it a suffix: it's not true of -woman or -person AFAIK (and saying horseman uses a suffix but horsewoman is a compound seems non-parsmonious), and are we going to start saying that while whortleberry with 'full' pronunciation is a compound, raspberry with reduced pronunciation has a suffix *-berry? (It literally doesn't, the earlier form was raspis berry.) Pinging everyone from the Tea Room thread:. Perhaps the "ship" sense, if it exists only for (-)man, should be treated differently from the rest. - -sche (discuss) 00:04, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

 * I haven't seen any good argument that would keep -woman and -person. As to -man, this discussion will be on three(?) talk pages once concluded. So if we decide to simplify matters by not going down the reduced-pronunciation rathole, with the twists and turns that you describe, we will still explain and honor the alternative view. I wonder whether the reduced pronunciation "man" in compounds will become obsolete in an ever-more-gender-sensitive society. DCDuring (talk) 00:59, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete all. Also I believe some pages have -mate as a suffix. Vininn126 (talk) 09:40, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep all. I used to be dubious about -man in particular, but I now find that Lexico lists all three of these. There must be hundreds of entries that treat -man as a suffix, which would cause problems if it was deleted. So I think we have to keep all three. DonnanZ (talk) 08:15, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Leaning keep as to all. I'm pretty sure there is a pronunciation shift in terms like chairman, chairwoman, and chairperson. bd2412 T 00:28, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Not sure, but there are lots of reliable sources describing them as either suffixes or compounds. Facts707 (talk) 06:21, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep all. A perusal of Category:English words suffixed with -man shows some words that feel very compoundy (like snowman) but many (like fireman) that seem to be the result of a very productive suffix -man that was, in its day, equivalent to -er or -an or -ite. I think the confusion is due to its recent decline in productivity and its reinterpretation due to the semantic shift in man that has occurred in the centuries after the development of -man. Etymologically, -man’s no different from -dom or -hood, whose suffixal status seems indisputable. As for -woman and -person, I’d say they’re neologistic suffixes analogically based on a folk etymology of -man. Lereman (talk) 19:26, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * -woman is not neologistic: it is used since Middle English. J3133 (talk) 20:08, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Potato, potato. ME is certainly neo relative to OE morphemes like -man(n), and more to the point, relative to the ME semantic shift in man. Lereman (talk) 20:15, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * surprised me as not appropriate for ME (“Of or pertaining to neologisms”; : “A word or phrase which has recently been coined15–20 years is a common cutoff”. J3133 (talk) 20:43, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * What is the folk etymology of you mention (“From the noun man”, thus as the meaning of man changed, so did the meaning of -man). J3133 (talk) 20:57, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I follow your question, or if this is even a question. The folk etymology I refer to is outlined in your parenthesis. If, however, the parenthesis is meant to suggest that -man should be expected to undergo semantic shift in lockstep with a semantic shift in man, I would say it begs the question, and in somewhat extreme fashion: not only would that idea depend on this being a compound (since suffixes don't behave this way; it's not like -dom has followed the semantic shift of doom), but it would almost have to be an ad hoc compound newly formed in every instance so that no compound ending in +man has an independent semantic life of its own. After all, compounds don't normally undergo semantic shift when there's a semantic shift in one element of the compound (cf. nosegay, sweetmeats, shellfish, gospel, gangway). To reiterate, my overall point here is that although tacking man to the end of a word today feels like forming a compound with PDE man, a look at the occurrences of -man shows a suffix (descended ultimately from OE mann) that was once quite productive (for centuries after the initial semantic shift in man, but without being subject to that shift) and has since become less- or nonproductive. We don't delete suffixes for being nonproductive, and we shouldn't delete this one just because it's spelled like ad hoc compounding we might do today. Lereman (talk) 17:22, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The etymology in my parenthesis is from the entry ; if it is a folk etymology, should it not be changed? J3133 (talk) 17:27, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'm not sold on the argument from "man isn't stressed in fireman so it must be a suffix". I mean, house isn't stressed in firehouse, nor trap in firetrap, but presumably we wouldn't call those suffixes. If we do keep this, then I think we need to distinguish between any supposed old suffixed word and any newer one that actually uses man as a component. How, I have no idea. Equinox ◑ 07:56, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * man is not only unstressed in fireman but it is reduced by most speakers, so it sounds like ‘firemun’ (it would sound rather Northern if it weren’t) but firehouse isn’t reduced to firehus, so I say weak keep (unsure about -woman and -person). Overlordnat1 (talk) 08:09, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I think this is an indication that the parts have become more completely fused, so that the perception as separate parts no longer interferes with the normal phonological rules that govern pronunciation within words. I'm not convinced that such fusion necessarily means that the the unstressed parts are morphologically subordinate to the others. Do we need a suffix "-shire" because English people pronounce county names with the vowel reduced compared to the vowel in shire as a separate word? Is the difference in pronunciation of words like raspberry an indication that English people have a suffix "-berry" that we lack in the US? Chuck Entz (talk) 14:19, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I’ve always thought of -berry and -shire as suffixes for that reason but my intuition might easily simply not correspond to reality in this instance. Overlordnat1 (talk) 20:54, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep for all three, per previously shared arguments. AG202 (talk) 23:05, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

make it big
NISoP: make it + big. There are many adjuncts attestably compatible with make it, such as "to the top", "big time", "as a [role]", "in [field of endeavor]", "at any level", "to the finals/White House/red carper/A list/400". DCDuring TALK 03:41, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * ...most of which I would not consider idiomatic. But that's like arguing that light bulb joke isn't idiomatic because there are light bulb sockets, light bulb glow, the light bulb business, etc. The use of big in this case is special. It eliminates several senses of make it as possibilities. DAVilla 05:36, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * But these are just adjuncts that don't change the fundamental sense of make it, which needs no adjunct for the sense.

Talk:bewry

Mark that bewry in OE and ME was a strong verb but I haven't ... yet ... found a byspel of it still be used as strong verb in modern English thus I left it as only a weak verb. If someone has a byspel of it as a strong verb, post it and add it to the verb form. AnWulf ... Ferþu Hal! 16:32, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Modern vs Middle English
I rather doubt this is attested in modern English, but I'll see if I can find any cites on my own before I RFV it. - -sche (discuss) 19:27, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Middle English spelling of 'buried'
These cites suggest that this was a Middle English spelling of 'buried', too:, , ,. Actually... is the same book presently cited for the 'clothe' sense; I can't tell if both hits actualyl mean 'clothe' or both hits actually mean 'bury'... - -sche (discuss) 19:27, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Modern English vs Scots
Although has a quotation of Douglas supporting the 'distort' sense, the quotation supports it as a Scots word, not an English one. - -sche (discuss) 19:29, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

RFV discussion
It's probably possible to cite this as a verb meaning "betray" — I've already started, though I know not which etymology that sense has — but I suspect the meaning "clothe" is limited to Middle English, and the meaning "distort" may be limited to Scots (see Talk:bewry). Note that the one quotation already in the entry under the "clothe" sense is Middle English. - -sche (discuss) 19:46, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Maybe, it could be that bewry in the witt of betray is an error for bewray. Anent clothe ... my thesaurus for clothe gives this: a valley clothed in conifers: cover, blanket, carpet; envelop, swathe. — So it means to cover which is what bewry means. One could say to a naked person: Bewry yourself! ... Meaning either "cover" or "clothe". I think you're being nitpicky, but yu won't hurt my feelings if yu take "clothe" out.--AnWulf ... Ferþu Hal! (talk) 16:22, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

 * There are 4 words in Scots using the form bewry. They are: 1). bewry: (for *bewryen < ME < OE, past participle of ) meaning "surrounded"; 2). bewry (< be- + wry) meaning "to wrest, distort"; 3). bewry a variant of bewray:; and 4). bewry (= beury) an alternative spelling for "bury". Leasnam (talk) 00:23, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

 * RFV-failed for now (moved to Middle English). Of the two citations (2<3) in the entry, the 1500 one used the spelling "beryed" and used it in such a way that it is ambiguous is "buryed" or "bewryed" was meant. - -sche (discuss) 22:05, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:dive

From B-T, the pp for OE dufan is dofen ... not gedofen ...

dúfan - ic dúfe, ðú dýfst, he dýfþ, pl. dúfaþ; p. ic, he deáf, ðú dufe, pl. dufon; pp. dofen from Bosworth, J. (2010, July 18). An Anglo-Saxon Dictionary Online (T. N. Toller & Others, Eds.). Dúfan. Retrieved October 15, 2011, from http://bosworth.ff.cuni.cz/008089 AnWulf ... Ferþu Hal! 16:57, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It's both. Typical of West Germanic languages, OE originally employed the perfective on all bare past participles. dofen therefore is a later reduced form of gedofen where gedofen is more standard. (OEME: dúfan1 [] sv/t2 3rd pres dýfþ past déaf/dufon ptp gedofen to duck, dive, sink; ge~ sink, be drowned) Leasnam 17:26, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Past participle
Stats, FWIW: "had dived into" gets about 180 Google Books hits (it says it gets between 17000 and 480000, but if you skip to the twentieth page, the hits run out and it recalculates you a more accurate number of hits) compared to 60 or so for "had dove into", which is more than I would have expected. So I agree with the current revision. - -sche (discuss) 19:55, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I had taken a look. My ear said that it is not uncommon in speech in some parts of the US (DARE?). One reason I kept it was the number of usage guides that expend ink on criticizing it. There must be some prevalence to it. As the simple past it is no longer considered objectionable in the US. The past participle doesn't seem as natural to my ears and tongue, has no support that I've found in style manuals, and is not very common. DCDuring TALK 20:10, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * In my personal opinion, if you use the past tense "dove", all right, but at least be consistent enough to form the past participle diven or doven. 2.203.201.61 23:52, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Template:tø
I came up with the idea that templates that don't have two unnamed parameters should be in Category:Translation templates needing attention. It's turned up quite a few results already - ten so far. How would people feel about t, t+ and t- having the same function. Any downsides? Mglovesfun (talk) 22:35, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * No, none? --Mglovesfun (talk) 11:07, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It's a good idea, but I think a missing second argument should probably just use the normal, rather than Category:Translation templates needing attention. Actually, thinking about it — maybe there should be a "default" category that uses when no language code is specified. If that were the case, then I think a missing first argument to  should probably also just use the normal . —Ruakh TALK 11:15, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Partly related, the five remaining entries in Category:Translation templates needing attention use a language code and a transliteration with no original script, because the original script isn't known. These are for ancient languages like Sumerian and Hittite. --Mglovesfun (talk) 11:23, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I quite like the idea of a cleanup category just for translations templates, but I wouldn't object if other users preferred using an established category (that is, one we already have and use). --Mglovesfun (talk) 16:03, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Can I go ahead with this? Even doing it temporarily (for a few days) would allow users to clean up quite a few translation templates. --Mglovesfun (talk) 10:56, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Empty positional parameters and default values -- bug?
I'm working on a template that uses named parameters in combination with positional parameters, with default values for some of them. However, test calls are not producing the expected results.

Sample call:

Value 3 defaults to, and value 4 defaults to. These are defined as:

I'd expect to see:

Instead, I get:

What am I missing? When passing the third parameter as an empty value,  should evaluate to   since   is undefined, and this should then evaluate to   since   is empty. But then where is this single quote ' coming from?

Reading around on Wiktionary, Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and Mediawiki (bewildering that the docs are spread around so much, but that's a separate matter for discussion), it sounds like a design mistake early on has caused confusion in terms of how named versus unnamed parameters are handled, and I'm starting to think my bugaboo here is part of that. I'd deeply appreciate it if someone could point me to an elegant way of clearing this up -- I'd hate to have to add  calls all over the place, but maybe that's what it comes to? -- TIA, Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 18:45, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

 * If  is defined as the null string then   evaluates to the null string; only if   is undefined (, for example) does   get used instead. I have no idea where the apostrophe is coming from, unless you have quotes around the code (like   and they're coming together (as  , which yields a boldface apostrophe) because now only the null string (i.e., nothing) is between them. If you want to use   when   is the null string, then use   or the like. —msh210℠ (talk) 19:54, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I was afraid that would be the case (needing ).  And you're right about the single quote, I forgot to add in the italics in my examples.  Thanks for chiming in, Msh210!  -- Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 20:28, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I agree, there's no way to do this without using the #if template. Otherwise it will just accept the null string. BigDom 20:42, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Ta, thanks BigDom -- Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 22:50, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

isValidPageName
Curiously returns (that is, a blank string) although - is valid, as you can see by the blue link. Why is this? --Mglovesfun (talk) 10:57, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

 * If by "why is this?" you mean, "what causes this?", the answer is that that behavior is hardcoded into the template: if its argument is -, it returns a blank string, without doing its normal check. If by "why is this?" you mean "why was this done?", I have no idea. I can only imagine that it was intended that to be callable as  , but I don't know why. Something like    would work just as well. —Ruakh TALK 12:31, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I never realized it was intentionally coded like this, I just assumed it checked for validity! As for why, no I don't know either. --Mglovesfun (talk) 12:59, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

request for transliteration
What template should I use to mark that a Persian word in the "Translations" section is lacking transliteration? I use but then entry goes to the Category:Entries which need Arabic script, not to the Category:Persian terms lacking transliteration. Is there a template for this? Maro 21:48, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, there was no such template. I created . Maro 19:34, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Duplicate (but different) moves
At 17:17 / 17:18 this after noon two people moved the same page to different targets. Both moves worked, no redirect was left. Is this a bug? SemperBlotto 17:20, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Grr. The first move left a redirect. The second just moved the redirect! SemperBlotto 17:28, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Issue with not using the script specified in the sc= parameter
Take a look at he and shi. Even with the sc= parameter specified, the template is still picking up the script associated with the lang= parameter, making the end result a tad difficult to read for some (and god awful to look at). seems to exhibit the same issue. I had a look at both and, but couldn't find anything wrong. I thought the sc= param was supposed to take precedence over the the script specified by the lang= tag? Is this not the case anymore? Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 00:08, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The template wasn't accepting sc. Now fixed. --Yair rand 00:37, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Issues with search AND secure server
Bug description: What do we do about this? The set of steps seems to work on e.g. en.wikipedia and sv.wiktionary, so I conclude the issue is local for English wiktionary. \Mike 04:58, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Log in to the secure server.
 * 2) On any page, do a search for a non-existent page title.
 * 3) On the search page, use the special search box unique to this page, and search for anything. Hit the search button on the page (not in the margin).
 * 4) Find yourself taken to a "Wiki does not exist" page.
 * Did you file a bug report at ? --Yair rand 05:02, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, this seems to be an issue with MediaWiki:SpecialSearch.js. --Yair rand 05:06, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Deletion perms within one's own User area?
I've been working on some template ideas, and have rethought how to organize things a couple times. Moving works well enough, but then I'm left with all these stub pages with unneeded redirects. Is there any way of granting folks deletion permissions just within their own User areas? -- Curious, Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 09:13, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

 * No, but you can ask an admin to delete such pages for you. —Ruakh TALK 12:30, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * ...by adding to each page, unless there are too many to bother doing that to, in which case identify them (e.g. here). —msh210℠ (talk) 14:53, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you both. I'll add the once I get enough deletable pages to where it makes sense to get rid of them all in one batch. -- Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 16:43, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Oh, don't worry about that. If anything, it might be better to add to just an entry or two at a time, rather than flooding the category all at once. —Ruakh TALK 23:30, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Sounds good, I may have time for that tomorrow. (There's not much that needs tagging, it's just that I saw this right as I'm about to get back to work. :) -- Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 04:43, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Removing prefixes from language templates
There was an earlier discussion at Grease_pit_archive/2010/December on removing the prefixes "proto:" and "conl:" from language template titles. The only objection given was that moving the templates would complicate AutoFormat's updating of User:AutoFormat/Languages. Since AutoFormat is no longer running, is there any reason not to remove the prefixes? --Yair rand 01:13, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

 * The current system is a disgusting mess of ad-hoc code. The real problem is not the prefixes themselves — <tt>proto:</tt> and <tt>conl:</tt> are a good way to mark these non-mainspace language codes — but the fact that a large number of existing templates have been retrofitted to support both prefixed and unprefixed language codes by using . But since we're never going to fix that problem (one editor in particular is strongly dedicated to the proposition that the difference between mainspace languages and non-mainspace languages should be completely editor-transparent), removing the prefixes is probably the next-best option. —Ruakh TALK 12:43, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Transparent can mean either that the thing is easy to see (figurative sense) or that it's impossible to see (more literal sense). Often the intended meaning is clear; it's less so in the above. —msh210℠ (talk) 18:11, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't mean either of those. I was pretty sure that my sense was common in programmer circles, but maybe not? Anyway, I mean that the editor in question feels that something like should just work; to the extent that we treat Klingon differently from other languages, the editor feels that templates should handle that internally, rather than editors having to be aware of the distinction. (That is, the distinction would be "transparent" to editors, in that they could see right through it: both kinds of languages would be handled the same, from their perspective.) Anyway, thanks for making be clearer. :-)   —Ruakh TALK 19:12, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, so "impossible to see", then. Not in them, I don't know what's common in programmer circles. —msh210℠ (talk) 19:15, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Right alignment of images, wikipedia box
What method was used to right-align images and the wikipedia box even in long articles, so they don't interfere with the left side and they don't create blank gaps on the left? It would be great to use the same in the Hungarian Wiktionary. Thanks. --Panda10 21:34, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Without checking CSS that governs, I'll guess its . —msh210℠ (talk) 16:28, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, my question is more about the relationship of the left and right sides. What did we do here that the right side is not interfering with the left side? Before, whenever we added multiple images on the right, the trans-top table remained as wide as the page and there were big white gaps. Now it shrinks to allow the right side co-exist with the left and there are no gaps. --Panda10 17:27, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Big white gaps before something as wide as the page are usually because the lower-appearing thing has  set (or has something appearing right before it (like ) that has either   or  ). —msh210℠ (talk) 18:08, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Adding translations
I just tried to add the Luxembourgish 'hoppelen' as a translation of the verb 'hop' using the Add translation tool. It usually works fine, but this time I got the following error message: "Could not find translation entry for 'lb:hoppelen'. Please reformat." Obviously I can still add it manually, but does anyone know why this happened? Cheers, BigDom 11:02, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I had these issues as well. There seems to be a conflict with (translation request) for other languages and  (translation to checked) even for the language you're actually checking. --Anatoli 02:49, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

WT:RFV slow, reluctant to load
Has anyone else had trouble making changes to WT:RFV — encountering Wikimedia Errors ("Error: ERR_READ_TIMEOUT, errno [No Error]") when trying to add or archive sections? It's almost as if archiving those 300 000 bytes made the page slower... I do not encounter the error when adding to other pages, even pages of comparable size, like this one or WT:RFC. - -sche (discuss) 02:36, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I ran into that a lot earlier today with WT:RFD and RFC; I figured maybe there was a lot of traffic on the server, or a lot of editors at work at once, or maybe even a DDOS or something. -- Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 06:13, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Yes. When I update it I get a Wimimedia Error message or similar and I try again - and again... All the edits were successful - so we end up with multiple additions that have to be undone. It's getting to be a pain. SemperBlotto 21:28, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The trick, I find, is to look at the recent changes, or Special:MyContributions in a different window. If the message has been posted, simply close the first window. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:26, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

 * FWIW, I tried making a couple edits to de:WT:WL (the biggest page I know of on de.Wikt) and had no trouble, though it's possible that page wasn't big enough (only 120 000 bytes). Is this a local en.Wikt issue, or does it appear to be a Wikimedia-wide server issue? - -sche (discuss) 11:14, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Feedback is giving the same problem now (but not all the time). SemperBlotto 14:17, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Ranunculus acraeus
This is coming up in Special:UncategorizedPages. For some reason, the server (not because of anything the creator has done) is interpreting all the templates with an uppercase first letter. The entry is correct, as it uses, the server however is interpreting this as , which doesn't exist, hence uncategorized. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:04, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * And now fixed; and I have no idea why. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:22, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Correctly sorting categories
I'm trying to get Category:Old Irish noun forms to sort properly by treating "á é í ó ú" as equivalent to "a e i o u". Can anyone tell me why the <tt>|sort=</tt> parameter of works at [[láime]] but not at [[féile]], [[díu]], or [[óil]]? —Angr 17:28, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Apparently, that's because and  try to categorize and sort the entries again. --Daniel 17:43, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * But [[láime]] is using and it's sorting correctly. —Angr 17:55, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm with Angr on this; the syntax currently used in óil really ought to work. Perhaps it's the server then, when it refreshes it will be ok. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:05, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * No, not actually. [[láime]] does not have a <tt>|lang=sga</tt>, which makes a difference, for some reason. --Daniel 18:07, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed it does. I took the <tt>|lang=sga</tt> out of the other three, and now they sort correctly too. —Angr 18:17, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It's because categories in

, and it's trumping the sort key in. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:22, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Daniel C said this above, my bad. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:23, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

AWB being an ass
I'm trying to get all the transclusion of, including the templates that use it as a base (see Category:Swedish declension-table templates. I'm using AWB's 'skip' tab, selecting Contains: (that is, skip if the page contains) which is what I used to find out which pages in Category:French verbs weren't using . I then ticked regex and put in . All I want it to do is skip pages containing that, thinning the list. Then I put in after that   and that should skip anything.

But it's not working, I'm not sure if it's the \n syntax that it won't accept or what. PS it might be possible to combine all of these into one single, but bigger expression: how about ? Mglovesfun (talk) 21:29, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * If I understand you correctly, building a list this way in AWB might be hard because you will have to log by hand all the pages it didn't automatically skip. Using the database dump tool is probably easier. If you do that, you might have to check for \r's with your \n's. A simplified regexp could be  --Bequw → τ 03:53, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * You're correct, every time it doesn't skip an entry, I move on to the next entry and press 'Start'. It's not really 'hard' though, I just keep checking until the list is finished. Time consuming in some cases yes, hard, no. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:47, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

URL simplifier
Does anyone know of resources that can simplify long URLs, stripping out unnecessary field-value pairs from long query strings? For instance, Google Books URLs are often really long, but we can shorten it down to include a more manageable link the wikitext, while still having it link to the correct book and page number. These aren't URL shorteners but the intent is similar. --Bequw → τ 16:41, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Javascript minification
Has anyone debated minifying our Javascript code? I'm not sure if post-compression it would change the file sizes much, but I thought I'd ask. --Bequw → τ 19:03, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Don't the Wikimedia servers serve all pages gzipped already? -- Liliana • 19:23, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe so, but minified & gzipped is still smaller than just gzipped. See this related post on wikipedia where pre-compression minification reduces final file size by 47%. --Bequw → τ 19:43, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Importing a batch of entries
I have about 2,500 pre-formatted English noun entries to import (specific minerals; and a small handful exist already in Wiktionary and should be skipped). What is a good way to do this, or can somebody do it for me? (Although I've used DotNetWikiBot in the past for retrieving pages, it will not let me save a page — "500 Internal Server Error" — and the inadequate documentation makes this impossible for me to diagnose.) Thanks. Equinox ◑ 15:13, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Is it merely a matter of rote copying and pasting from a master document? Send me a batch and I'll help (my email is my username at hotmail). Cheers! bd2412 T 17:44, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I mailed you a copy. I've actually pasted a bunch of them in manually since then, but it is slow going and not good for the fingers. Equinox ◑ 20:48, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I can do it for you, or if you have Perl installed, I can send you code to do it yourself. —Ruakh TALK 20:44, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Could you mail me the code, please? It's been a while since I've used Perl but I am vaguely familiar with it, enough to make any tweaks I would need. Thanks! Equinox ◑ 20:48, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Etymologies
I am trying to pull out all Wiktionary entries of Akkadian origin. I have tried using category:en:akkadian derivations but it doesn't work, yet I know Akkadain etymologies do come up in Wiktionary entries e.g. tandoor, souq.

Is there any way I can draw out all such entries?
 * See Category:Terms derived from Akkadian. --Yair rand 21:34, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

I did already find this page but it didn't list tandoor and souq. They must have been added since. Is there any page which lists all Akkadian derivations? Is there a way I could also pull out all Aramaic and more generally, all Semitic derivations?

 * Also see Category:English terms derived from Akkadian. Besides this, you could search for Etymology Akkadian. —Stephen (Talk) 15:11, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Category talk:English syncopic forms

From WT:RFM

Category:Examples of syncope
What a weird title. We wouldn't put zugzwang: in Category:Examples of German derivations, so why this? Mglovesfun (talk) 11:23, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Because this is an uncommon form of derivation that might occur in multiple languages for which we don't have a category (and probably shouldn't). I think that, for example, idolatry was derived from Latin term formed by syncope from an earlier Latin term. Similarly for barn (Old English). DCDuring TALK 16:50, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perhaps rename to Category:English examples of syncope or something.  — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 12:22, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Move to Category:English syncopic forms per Category:English apocopic forms and Category:English aphaeretic forms. — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 13:33, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
