Template:qualifier/documentation

Usage
Use this template to provide a qualifier before or after a list item, e.g. to qualify a synonym with a region or register, or a type of usage, like. For other situations, the following templates are preferred:
 * To provide context for a definition, use and  instead.
 * To indicate a particular accent for a pronunciation, use instead.
 * To identify the sense to which a usage note, synonym, or other -onym applies, use instead.

Synonyms

 * promise, vow, word

Customization
Readers can customize the display of definition context qualifiers, sense glosses, other list item qualifiers, and italicized parenthesized text. Your current style is this:
 * 1)  a definition....
 * synonym, synonym

Most readers seem to prefer standard italicized, parenthesized list item qualifiers:
 * 1) (qualifier like this, default style) a definition... (note..., default style).
 * (Sense gloss like this, default style): synonym, (qualifier like this, default style) synonym

Some readers, however, prefer italic punctuation around such text:
 * 1) (qualifier like this, all italic) a definition... (note..., all italic).
 * (Sense gloss like this, all italic): synonym, (qualifier like this, all italic) synonym

Some readers, however, prefer special treatment for list item qualifiers:
 * (Sense gloss like this, non-italic): synonym, (qualifier like this, non-italic) synonym
 * (Sense gloss like this, mostly italic): synonym, (qualifier like this, mostly italic) synonym
 * (Sense gloss like this, all italic): synonym, (qualifier like this, all italic) synonym
 * Sense gloss like this, small-caps: synonym, qualifier like this, small-caps synonym
 * (Sense gloss like this, small font): synonym, (qualifier like this, small) synonym

This template allows readers to choose select such custom formats using WT:PREFS or by editing your personal CSS file (e.g. Special:Mypage/monobook.css), as described in WT:CUSTOM.

Template:accent/documentation

Use this template to specify an accent qualifier for a pronunciation. 1 should contain the language code for the accent in question; you can leave this blank for non-language-specific accent qualifiers. 2, 3, etc. should contain the accent qualifiers.

Accent qualifiers are substantially the same as the labels specified using lb, and support all the syntax described there, including pseudo-context qualifiers such as and ; double angle bracket notation; and display overrides using. Currently, the only differences between lb and a are that (a) a does not categorize, while lb does; (b) some labels display differently when used as accent qualifiers, in a way that is more appropriate to pronunciation specifications. Examples of labels that display differently:
 * The English label (alias, , , etc.) displays as Australia and links to the Wikipedia article on  when used with lb, but displays as General Australian (the name of the standard Australian accent) and links to  when used with a. Similar changes happen with the  and  labels (in the latter case, only the Wikipedia article changes).
 * The Latin label (alias, , etc.) displays as Ecclesiastical Latin and links to  when used with lb, but displays as modern Italianate Ecclesiastical and links to  when used with a.
 * The (ancient) Egyptian labels, , and  display as such when used with lb, but display as reconstructed Old Egyptian, reconstructed Middle Egyptian, etc. when used with a.
 * The Hebrew label (alias, etc.) links to  when used with lb, but links to  when used with a.

Various pronunciation templates, e.g. IPA, enPR, homophones, rhymes, audio and hyphenation, support specifying accent qualifiers using the a (left qualifier) and aa (right qualifier) parameters, as well as (in the case of templates supporting multiple pronunciations) pronunciation-specific parameters a N and aa N and inline modifiers and. These should be used in preference to separately specifying the accent qualifier(s) using a, when possible. This means that the main use of a itself (rather than one of the parameter variants) is when not next to a pronunciation template, such as when on a line by itself or next to a translation template (t, t+, etc.).

The main difference between accent qualifiers and plain qualifiers specified using q is that the latter always display as-is and never have links automatically added, while accent qualifiers may (specifically, when they correspond to a recognized label) display differently and may have automatic links added. Unrecognized accent qualifiers display as-is and don't link, just like plain qualifiers, so when using a combination of recognized labels and unrecognized raw text, prefer an accent qualifier over a plain qualifier.

To add a new recognized accent qualifier, add it as a label. See Module:labels/data for more information.

Examples:

1. A simple use of a:

displays as

2. A use of the a parameter:

displays as

3. A use of the a parameter along with the inline modifier:

displays as

4. A use of the aa1 and aa2 parameters, using double angle bracket notation:

displays as

5. A use of the inline modifier, using double angle bracket notation and  to force a label to display a particular way:

displays as

Customization
Readers can customize the styles using WT:PREFS or by editing their personal CSS files (e.g. Special:Mypage/monobook.css), as described in WT:CUSTOM.

MK etymology from Schuessler
I don't see what's wrong with Erminwin's edits here. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 03:03, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Schuessler merely states that it is MK and related to PMonic *kmcii?, not that it is from PMK *kmcii?. In fact, it specifically states that MK is *cii? and that Mon *km- is a common prefix. There is no mention of 姊 being a descendant of PMK *kmci? in Shorto, although the root itself is already unconvincingly reconstructed. The page number for Schuessler was also wrong. Wyang (talk) 03:14, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I see. I think they're just using Schuessler for his connection to MK and Shorto for the reconstruction. It's not gibberish content, just a few relatively minor mistakes that may add up. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 03:30, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

mean value theorem

Noun

 * 1)  Any of various theorems that saliently concern mean values.
 * 2) * 1984 [Nauka, Moscow], Sergey Ermakov, V. V. Nekrutkin (authors and translators), A. S. Sipin (author), Random Processes for Classical Equations of Mathematical Physics, [1984, С. М. Ермаков, В. В. Некруткин, А. С. Сипин, Случайные процессы для решения классических уравнений математической физики], 1989, Kluwer, Softcover Reprint, page xiii,
 * For parabolic equations (Section 5.1) and for the exterior Dirichlet problem (Section 5.2), it is possible to apply the well known mean value theorems.
 * 1)  The theorem that for any real-valued function that is differentiable on an interval, there is a point in that interval where the derivative of the curve equals the slope of the straight line between the graphed function values at the interval's end points.
 * 2) * 1990, A. Neumaier, Interval Methods for Systems of Equations,, page 51,
 * In order to get a true bound for the range we may replace the Taylor series in (2) by the mean value theorem, which tells us that
 * $$ f(\tilde x)=f(\check x) +f'(\zeta)(\tilde x - \check x)$$
 * for some $$\zeta$$ on the line segment between $$\tilde x$$ and $$\check x$$.
 * 1) * 1990, A. Neumaier, Interval Methods for Systems of Equations,, page 51,
 * In order to get a true bound for the range we may replace the Taylor series in (2) by the mean value theorem, which tells us that
 * $$ f(\tilde x)=f(\check x) +f'(\zeta)(\tilde x - \check x)$$
 * for some $$\zeta$$ on the line segment between $$\tilde x$$ and $$\check x$$.

Usage notes

 * In mathematical terms, if $$f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$$ is continuous on $$[a,b]$$ and differentiable on $$(a,b)$$ (where $$a<b$$) then $$\exists c \in (a,b) : f'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$$. (Note that since nothing is assumed about the function outside the interval, it cannot, strictly speaking, be said to be differentiable at the end points. However, the continuity condition means that it is right differentiable at $$a$$ and left differentiable at $$b$$.)

What is the etymology for the verb? 85.77.254.195 09:35, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

 * It comes out of NYC, but the precise origin is uncertain. It could be from a NYC article of law, or the street address of a liquor bar, or a menu item in a steak restaurant that was frequently out of stock. —Stephen 19:59, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

8 x 6
One of my friends referred to Eighty-Six as indicating that something was in a hole eight feet wide & six feet deep. It seems from the time frame this could be from possibly World War I, but there is little evidence in the discussion/debate about this. Actually, all of the origins make less sense to me than this possible explanation since they lack compelling evidence as well. 71.98.70.191 03:47, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

 * I still have living relatives born around the end of WW I and they agree that eighty-six can’t mean eight wide by six deep, and besides, eight wide by six deep doesn’t means anything either. There is six feet under, but nothing like that with an eight or eighty in it. Eighty-six is probably a rhyme for nix. —Stephen (Talk) 14:05, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Another possible origin - or not
In 1928 all electrical components of the power system, then being installed across America, were given standardized numbers to show their functional use on all electrical power system circuit diagrams. An 86 device is a LOCKOUT breaker. Linemen and other power system technicians were working their way across America as the country was electrified. They work hard, dangerous jobs and they party hard at night, and their terminology became part of American slang in the 30's. The origination of the term "being 86'd" (or locked out, thrown out) is well known to all technicians and linemen in the power system industry, and it started in 1928, before any other documented usages of the term in songs or popular writings. [moved from deleted content on entry by DCDuring TALK 15:56, 23 May 2013 (UTC)]
 * For this to be accepted as more than a guess, we would need some evidence. For starters, it would be nice if one could find any use of 86 or eighty-six as a verb in the power system industry, especially before evidence of use in the "discard", "reject", etc. senses. DCDuring TALK 16:24, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Deep six?
It seems possible that this term arose due to it rhyming with deep six rather than nix, though I admit it is the less likely possibility. No doubt the term arose as soda fountain slang but that still begs the question: "Why was this particular number (86) chosen to refer to the particular phenomenon of something being out of stock?" and that may be due to it being a rhyme. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 10:44, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Indentation
This uses a clever system to stop users doing their own indentation. Clever, yes, but why? Mglovesfun (talk) 10:08, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Formatting of poems is broken
This template is broken for poetry:

This doesn't indent properly and it isn't recognised by the quotation-hiding JS. Inductiveload 23:56, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * First of all, you should use in entries- it's more frequently updated and and more likely to reflect current policy. Second, see Quotations Nadando 00:05, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the prompt reply. I've added a "see-also" to the template to make this clear to other bumblers like me who stumble on this template first. As for the formatting, that's what I was doing anyway, so that's OK! Inductiveload 02:40, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Additional "url2" parameter

 * regarding your edit summary here where you noted that "T:cite-book currently does not support url2, unlike T:quote-book" and tagged me, when would you need to use url2 with ? — SGconlaw (talk) 19:49, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
 * For giving alternative links for the same hosted on different servers. So I thought in that it is non-standard to use a plain-link to the full work around the title which is what is now done as otherwise links to works are displayed as [n]. This case is not so good an example because the Dillmann template now links a) to pages on one server if a page number is passed b) to the full work on archive.org in any case c) to a digitization project via entry, i. e. they are of three kinds and two are conditional only. Imagine better : Currently it goes over woerterbuchnetz.de, it could also link via DWDS. This is not saying which way additional links would be displayed – not too intrusive, not too hidden. Fay Freak (talk) 20:07, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Translation parameter
Exists in but not. – Jberkel 05:19, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you mean trans-title (to provide for a translation of the title of a work)? Do you want that added to the templates? — SGconlaw (talk) 06:25, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * no, something like trans-passage. See Special:Diff/47264081/51084425. Jberkel 07:08, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, you mean translation. Yes, that feature was not built into the templates, as it is a feature from . Is it likely to be used often? — SGconlaw (talk) 07:29, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * For English entries probably not that often, but for non-English entries it would definitely be useful. – Jberkel 11:01, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, let me work on it. — SGconlaw (talk) 19:04, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅. I've added translation. Let me know if it works properly. — SGconlaw (talk) 04:12, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
 * works fine, thanks. One unrelated thing I noticed is that we don't include HTML5 language attributes to mark up non-English content in citations/quotes. Does this require the language code changes? – Jberkel 09:35, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Probably because I have no idea what those are. Could you please explain? Why is such markup useful? — SGconlaw (talk) 09:37, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Now that quote templates take a language code we can add the language code to the generated HTML, to mark the content as written in another language (if not specified it defaults to the document's language, English). This is useful for accessibility, e.g. screenreaders (MDN documentation). If you want I can take a look at it. – Jberkel 09:56, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

 * OK, let me check. — SGconlaw (talk) 03:01, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I think that the translator info should come after the title, maybe like this:
 * Rudolf Thurneysen (1940, reprinted 2003), A Grammar of Old Irish, transl. D. A. Binchy and Osborn Bergin, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies
 * How does that look to you? —Mahāgaja · talk 11:44, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Mmmm, not really sold on that. All the (offline) citations I've seen have the translator's name before the title. — SGconlaw (talk) 18:35, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * What about:
 * Rudolf Thurneysen (1940, reprinted 2003), transl. D. A. Binchy and Osborn Bergin, A Grammar of Old Irish, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies
 * then? I do feel it makes more sense to have "transl." before the translators' names. For that matter, I wish editor/editors gave an output like "ed. Ed Itor" rather than "Ed Itor, editor". Otherwise there are just too many things separated by commas. —Mahāgaja · talk 12:45, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Paywall link
I think we should have a parameter like paywall if link URL is paywall access that adds a lock icon. -- 09:06, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Agreed (you probably know this already, but Wikipedia does something along those lines), though I don't have the energy or attention to implement it or see what others think for the time being. That's why I only mentioned it a offhand comment rather than bringing it up in a way that would facilitate discussion. Hazarasp (parlement · werkis) 09:24, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't be too difficult to implement. We already have something like it at . However, I think we should wait for the outcome of the discussion about that is taking place at the Beer Parlour. — SGconlaw (talk) 13:45, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Wrong format

Title not italicized?
Please pardon me—I am primarily (and secondarily) a Wikipedia editor. I am puzzled—why is the title not italicized, as is standard for longer works? DocWatson42 (talk) 12:33, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

 * yes, it is. Can you give an example of when it is not italicized? — Sgconlaw (talk) 14:17, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Pruett, for the template Template:R:en:DAFN in mobile using Safari 15 under iOS v15.7.3. (The template's output looks fine in desktop under macOS 13.2.1, in both Firefox v111.0.1 and Safari Version 16.3.)  So it's very likely it's the template. — DocWatson42 (talk) 01:49, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * it must be something to do with your browser, as the title Dictionary of American Family Names appears italicized when I view the template and the entry. — Sgconlaw (talk) 04:12, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Which browser? —DocWatson42 (talk) 04:14, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * the one(s) you’re using to view this website. I’m using Safari on an iPad at the moment (latest version of the app and iOS) and can see the italics. — Sgconlaw (talk) 04:21, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, I meant your browser, but you also answered my question. Have you tried other browsers? —DocWatson42 (talk) 04:45, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * yes, I can see the italics on my MacBook with Mozilla Firefox too. — Sgconlaw (talk) 05:53, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Have you tried using a phone?  I forgot to specify that have been using an iPhone.  (Though at this point I suppose I should just take it up with the technical folks.  Would that be Wikimedia Phabricator?) —DocWatson42 (talk) 06:04, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * it is italicized on my iPhone (Safari on iOS 16.3.1) as well. You might need to try updating your browser and operating system to the latest available, and see if that resolves the issue. If not, yes, I guess the Phabricator would be the best place to report the issue. — Sgconlaw (talk) 13:16, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you again. The browser and OS are already the latest available for the phone, which is an iPhone 6S+.  (Ancient, I know.) —DocWatson42 (talk) 04:52, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

quote-book compatibility
I'm interested in making the cite-* templates use the same numbered and named parameters as their quote-* counterparts, but I notice that while quote-book requires the language code as 1, in cite-book it's an optional named param lang and 1 is used for the year. I can use a bot to rename lang to 1 in all of the existing calls to cite-book (included any R: templates), but before undertaking that I wanted to solicit feedback? Would switching 1 from  to   be too drastic of a change of editors already used to the cite- templates, or would better compatibility with the quote- templates be worth it? JeffDoozan (talk) 19:34, 25 February 2024 (UTC) to be added in front of the value given to chapter and entry, which would tell the template to display the value as-is and not process it. (This feature currently applies to volume.) — Sgconlaw (talk) 12:36, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Maybe the issue has existed for longer, but I noticed it today. —Mahāgaja · talk 12:45, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * you know, I wonder why the module is evaluating “MIL” as a chapter number. As far as I know it’s not a valid Roman numeral. — Sgconlaw (talk) 13:04, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * No, it's not, but I suppose the module wasn't written to detect the validity of Roman numerals. —Mahāgaja · talk 13:09, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Oh no but I like to give the parameters to the template in the same order as they appear in the output, and lang appears after the title, but I can't provide unnamed parameters after named ones, that is messy. Also I agree with Victar. A shame I missed my chance to oppose, nguè nguè. I'll try not to be borderline barratrous I suppose. Catonif (talk) 16:35, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

What is your definition of "not breaking anything"? The lang parameter in is supposed to indicate the language that the source is written in, which is very often NOT the same as the language of the entry it's used on (e.g. an English entry citing a book in German for its etymology), whereas in  those are supposed to be the same by default due to the nature of how this template is used (e.g. an English quote should come from a book written in English). Since you merged the functionality of passage with that of 's text (or at least I think that's what triggered it), now any entry in language  that cites a book written in language   and uses passage will add that entry to  Category:  terms with quotations  (demonstrations  and ). Some categories, such as Category:Russian terms with quotations and Category:Slovene terms with quotations, almost hilariously, are now entirely filled with entries for other languages. Some more easily visible examples show up here and here; plenty of other Latin-script entries are hiding among the actual respective English and German words throughout the bodies of these lists, making it effectively impossible to navigate them on a language basis. I hope you can appreciate the need to fix this ASAP— and I don't mean by running a bot to add  to every page even nocat doesn't work. :) — 2600:4808:9C31:F400:29E8:5BF2:7E89:3679 03:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Missing comma, and date format
the comma between the author's name and the chapter or entry seems to have disappeared: see. Also, if date is used, the date is displayed in the format "2024 May 1". This is appropriate for quotations, but not so much for references—I think the date should remain in the format "1 May 2024", and if a month and year are specified they should be displayed as "May 2024" rather than "2024 May". — Sgconlaw (talk) 12:45, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

 * @Sgconlaw, it looks like the old format has no comma between author and title and included a comma between author and chapter/entry. Should we match the old style or always have a comma between author and chapter/title?
 * (old)
 * (new)
 * (old)
 * (new)
 * JeffDoozan (talk) 21:15, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * oh, I see what happened at . The reference template was edited so that it does not have a default year of publication. Thus, there was no year between the author and the title, and the lack of a comma made the reference look odd. I think it would be best if I make the 1st edition of the work the default, so there will always be some year specified. That should solve the issue for that template at least. As to your question about whether a comma should be added, let me think about that a bit more. — Sgconlaw (talk) 22:48, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Pseudo-Roman numerals in entry names
I'm not sure you saw this comment when I inserted it into an old thread, so I'm repeating it in a new thread: The merger of the functionalities of cite-book with those of quote-book has the consequence that entry is interpreted as identical to chapter, and that letters that happen to occur in Roman numerals are interpreted as Roman numerals. For example, at mil, R:DIL and R:ga:Ó Dónaill are both displaying "chapter MIL" instead of displaying a dictionary entry called mil. 07:56, 8 May 2024 (UTC) —Mahāgaja · talk 07:56, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Seems that "Module:quote" should (1) check for valid Roman numerals (perhaps using or its underlying module) since "MIL" is not such a numeral; and (2) perhaps allow users to add   in front of a parameter (e.g., !MIL) to tell the template not to process the value but display it as-is, which has been implemented for volume. — Sgconlaw (talk) 09:25, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * , I added the suggested   prefix handling for chapters/sections and then configured cite-book to always add a   prefix to entry. A double   will produce   so this fixes mil and dill without clobbering (theoretical, not used in practice) entries on !Kung. I'll also check if there are any existing chapter values that start with   and adjust them as needed. JeffDoozan (talk) 13:42, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * thanks! Mmmm, I wonder if  should be turned on by default for entry? Might there be any situations where that parameter should contain a Roman numeral? (Can't think of any offhand …) — Sgconlaw (talk) 13:53, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Theoretically in our own entries for roman numerals, e.g. IV. I doubt that we ever cite other dictionaries in such entries in practice, but in principle we could. But even then, if we've specified IV, we probably do want it to say “IV” in Suchandsuch Dictionary, not Chapter IV. —Mahāgaja · talk 14:10, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I notice that R:OneLook is still producing "chapter DILL" at dill, I guess because that template uses cite-web rather than cite-book. —Mahāgaja · talk 14:03, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I do think it would make sense to implement checking for valid Roman numerals, which would immediately eliminate the templates treating "DILL" and the like as numerals. Then the  prefix could be used specifically for indicating that a valid Roman numeral should not be treated as such. — Sgconlaw (talk) 15:44, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I wonder if the best solution wouldn't be to separate entry and chapter into separate parameters again, considering Jeff just had to undo the fix he applied earlier today on the grounds that it breaks how chapter works. —Mahāgaja · talk 21:35, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I think this is the best solution since it would cleanly separate the two and even allow them to be used together as requested here. I'm short on time this month but I'll implement it when I get a chance. JeffDoozan (talk) 15:39, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * We would still need some way to suppress the value of chapter from being treated as an Arabic or Roman numeral (for example, by using the prefix ). I have come across books where the chapter names are years, so they should display as "1984" rather than "chapter 1984". — Sgconlaw (talk) 16:15, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * , I've added support to the cite- templates to handle entry separately from chapter. Values in entry are displayed exactly as provided without any special handling for roman numerals. Values in chapter handle roman numerals unless prefixed with  . JeffDoozan (talk) 15:43, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

[Corrections] “Web colors” is not exactly a system – light green is not an HTML4 colour keyword nor a CSS2 colour keyword, it is the name of an X11 colour.

Its derivative, lightgreen is a color keyword supported by many browsers, and also an SVG color keyword (therefore supported in the latest HTML5 draft), and also in the latest CSS3 draft. —Michael Z. 2010-05-05 16:52 z

(And boy, some of our colour-related definitions are just confusing and wrong. Added to my long list.) —Michael Z. 2010-05-05 21:17 z

 * Delete This is not an English word, it is a translingual keyword from a series of computer standards (X11, SVG, CSS3, HTML5). These are not English; HTML or CSS has the same keywords when written by Albanians and Zimbabweans.

 * X11 — My Mac's X11 colours (at /usr/X11/share/X11/rgb.txt) has synonyms light green, LightGreen, and PaleGreen2.
 * SVG — only lightgreen is part of the standard.
 * CSS3 draft — only lightgreen.
 * HTML5 draft — spec refers and links directly to the SVG standard, so only lightgreen.

 * We don't include keywords or function names from computer languages (be they procedural, object-oriented, or markup) in the dictionary.

 * Regarding the possibility of verifying actual usage of the term: the first two pages of Google Books results for HTML "light green" yielded 15 uses in a computing or web-authoring context. Only 1 used Light Green, in a table of keywords, to refer to this colour, 1 used Light Green in a table possibly to refer to the X11 colour, and 13 various uses mean simply “a green that is light,” amply demonstrated by provided RGB values or HTML colour keywords. —Michael Z. 2010-05-06 17:00 z
 * I read the bgc hits as you do. Notwithstanding that, we can't exclude the possibility that groups might yield some citations. If, after 30 days, none are found, then yet another approach to having color entries with narrow meanings suitable for illustration with color examples will have failed. As with other classes of encyclopedic content, I'd be happy to let WP sort it out for us for cases like this. But there is a modest specialized scholarly literature on color words ("chromonyms"). So it is not a matter of no lexical interest. Has anyone read up on the subject? It is fairly obvious that "green" as in "green eyes", "green grass", or "green apple" is not the same as "green" as in "green paint" and "light" in "light brown hair" is not the same as in "light green paint". DCDuring TALK 17:31, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Not having read up on the subject of chromonyms, those differences are not obvious to me, not even fairly obvious. Can you explain them, please? —msh210℠ 18:05, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I am still wrestling with how to talk about this. For someone more in practice, see |%20head%20inauthor%3ACruse&f=false this passage, at page 30 in Lexical Semantics (Cruse) for a discussion re "red" as in "red hair". BTW, "chromonym" would be barely attestable. DCDuring TALK 19:52, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't understand how the green in "green paint" is different from the green in "green apple"? Any any color can be made "lighter" by shining more light on it, or "darker" by shining less light on it. Photographers have to deal with that all the time - who's to say how "light" or "dark" the subject really was on a certain day at a certain time in a certain light? Facts707 11:25, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * "Color standard" can give you the peace :)? What do you think?--Pierpao 09:01, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Strong delete. Why not "dark green", "light blue", "bright red", etc.? Any use in the computer world belongs in Wikipedia unless it is idiomatic and means something else like "my hard drive just caught on fire"! Facts707 11:20, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * This is not a problem limited to multi-word color names. All color terms have the same problem: they need ostensive definitions. What specific hue or range of hues should be shown for "red"? (See Red and red) In this case, the apparent existence of a "standard" makes it clear what the referent is. If it turns out to be attestable, then it has a definite non-compositional meaning. DCDuring TALK 11:39, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Is it a good idea to put single-colour swatches on entries like red at all? It's impossible to make an illustration that defines a colour, or even one that defines its range. The best we could do is provide any number of examples of a colour, which may be better left to Wikipedia. —Michael Z. 2010-05-15 07:05 z

 * there's some similar, albeit shorter, ones in Category:French contractions. I don't mind if this one's deleted, but short ones like s'a, n'y, j'y, l'as might be worth keeping because they could be confused with sa, ny, jy, las etc. --Rising Sun talk? contributions 13:53, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * All these forms (unlike presqu'île) are always considered as 2 words in French (e.g. n'avais = ne (contracted in n') + avais.) Note that s'a is a mistake, I don't find any possible use (but m'a and t'a are used). ny and sy don't exist. Normally, n'avais and other such examples should be deleted. If they are kept, this should be the result of a new policy to be discussed, because they're less justified than mother's . Lmaltier 18:20, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

 * They are two words for the French, and for those who know French. For those of us who know virtually nothing of French, they are one word. We should keep at least the most common ones, such as n'a, n'est, etc. They are MORE justified than mother's, because many native English speakers do not know French, but all native English speakers do know enough English to deal with mother's. —Stephen 18:35, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, they are less justified from a strict acceptability point of view, according to current policies, but they are probably more useful. This is why a new policy might be defined. For example, accepting redirects in such cases (n'avais redirecting to avais). Accepting complete pages for all pages such as l'île, j'absorberais or n'opérasse would be absurd.

 * I propose that wherever foreign contraction f'ubar could be confused with real word fubar, we include the contraction, but where there is no fubarangina with which f'ubarangina could be confused, we redirect f'ubarangina to ubarangina. The reason is that someone seeing the contracted form might look up the word (e.g. fubar) sans internal punctuation, and come to the wrong word by mistake; whereas, someone looking up the word sans punctuation for which no such word exists (e.g. fubarangina) will merely get a results list with the redirect to ubarangina on top. bd2412 T 15:30, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Lockerbie
Allusive common noun, having meaning by direct reference to a specific event, and only to readers who have knowledge of the event. It has no generic meaning in English. I don't know why I bother; I suppose someone will “verify” it by finding three quotations where the name is used this way. —Michael Z. 2010-05-24 16:27 z

 * Delete. If the slogan governs, than we must have been wasting our time for lo these many months. A slogan is not a mission statement, a constitution, legislation, or rule. It serves mostly to rouse rabble. As rabble no longer have any influence here, its pointlessness should be obvious. Lockerbie might make it as a placename. It should have a lovely WP article for its association with the event. If some of us are jealous of WP's ability to cover some things that are beyond our purview, perhaps we should split from WMF.
 * If there should be some attributive use of the form "a Lockerbie X" or "Lockerbie Xs", then the sense thereby cited should be included. "The Lockerbie X" is clearly a solely reference to the specific event. There may be some determiners that would also collocate with "Lockerbie X" in attributive use. Non-attributive "another Lockerbie" or "a Lockerbie" are collocations that do not warrant inclusion under WT:CFI. If this kind of attributive-use citation is too hard for this page, then perhaps it should be assigned to WT:AEN. DCDuring TALK 18:54, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * At COCA, only 12 or the 79 hits for Lockerbie followed by a noun were not immediately preceded by "the". On closer examination all of the remaining 12 were clearly references to the event or to matters set in motion by the event. This does not exclude the possibility of citation, but suggests that the usage in question is certainly not common. DCDuring TALK 19:03, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:junk drawer

junk drawer
I say this myself, but I say it's sum of parts. Ultimateria 22:51, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:51, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. ---> Tooironic 12:49, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * If the case were made for the regional difference in term used for the same referent, there is a case for having the entry. Move to RfV to encourage collection of the evidence. DCDuring TALK 15:17, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, one man's trash is another man's treasure. The items kept in a junk drawer are not really junk, they are just miscellany. bd2412 T 21:48, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Miscellany is a valid definition of junk. It's almost like a filler word. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:49, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * But it's not junk in the typical sense of things we would throw away. Consider:
 * M. Diane McCormick, "A Place for Everything",Old-House Journal (Jun 2005), v. 33, no. 3, p. 33:
 * Crammed with twist ties and stray screws, the standard junk drawer is a sanctuary for items we hoard out of practicality or affection or the nagging fear that "this may come in handy someday".
 * Donna Smallin, Organizing plain & simple (2002), p. 54:
 * There's nothing wrong with having a junk drawer. Where else can you store those odds and ends you need from time to time. But some of what ends up in the junk drawer really is junk, such as unfixable items, pens that don't work, expired coupons, and a piece to a game you sold at a garage sale five years ago.
 * Allegra Bennett, Renovating Woman (1997), p. 239:
 * We all know that the junk drawer doesn't really contain junk. We know junk when we see it, and that gets tossed pretty fast. It's the odds and ends that had a limited purpose once, are still functional, and one day may come in handy, but for now . ..
 * William D. Tracy, "Notes on Practice", The Journal of the Allied Societies (1912), Vol. 7, p. 376.
 * With a 5/8-inch sandpaper disk cutter, if you happen to have one in the junk drawer, or with a brass or steel tube of the same size sharpened to an edge at one end, four wheels suitable for the engine mandrel may be cut from each eraser.
 * bd2412 T 21:58, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Granted, but it is junk in the common sense 'miscellany'. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:01, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I was adding the second quote while you wrote this, but note the emphasis in the second one, on what "really is junk". I'll expand on that just a bit. It is not merely "miscellany", but rather is, as Bennett suggests, a collection of small items that are not otherwise classifiable, and which have a limited potential purpose. bd2412 T 22:03, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * My real point is this. Why not add this to and delete this? I agree our current definition is a little off (but not wrong). Mglovesfun (talk) 22:13, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with MG on this particular point of semantics without prejudice to the possibility of regional difference in terms referring to the same thing, which might justify inclusion.
 * I find literary discussions of the term, such as those above, to be more mentions than usage. It is a staple of humor both to find slightly quirky uses of language and to make fun of human pack-rat behavior. (See "Fibber McGee's closet" (from WIWAL).A drawer is called a junk drawer as a pejorative or an excuse for its being disorganized. A "junk drawer" is not different from a "j. box", "j. closet", "j. room", "j. shed", or "j. corner", except that drawers are more common.
 * Of course, we could boldly go where no lemming has gone before. DCDuring TALK 22:45, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The phrase incorporates a particular use of the word "junk" which is not the most obvious one. Imagine explaining to a foreigner that you keep the useful little implement for the occasion in your "junk drawer". bd2412 T 22:49, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with that. I believe that we are talking about a fairly common human behavior. DCDuring TALK 23:19, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you saying that the use of "junk" in "junk drawer" significantly differs from its use in "junk pile", "junk shop", "junk heap", "junk room", "junk store", and "junk dealer" or that some or all of these merit inclusion? The very existence of commercial enterprises in "junk" implies that there is potentially positive value to junk in the eyes of some, though many find it not worth sorting and researching. In any event, we merely need to have a definition of "junk" that encompasses elements omitted from our existing senses, if such there be.
 * Similarly, is a pencil drawer meritorious of inclusion because it is used for pens, post-it notes, and USB drives? DCDuring TALK 23:17, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Touche. And I keep an apple in my stationery drawer. (!) ---> Tooironic 08:25, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oddly enough, my stationary drawer is not stationary at all! In any case, I've come around to a "set phrase" justification, below. bd2412 T 13:59, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

 * junkdraw is just about citeable, which would have this pass under WT:COALMINE. --Rising Sun talk? contributions 08:33, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * You mean junkdrawer? The only way I can find enough cites for that to meet the CFI is to go to Google Groups, but those results are sloppy. However, I now think we should keep this as a set phrase, since it is used for this specific meaning with far greater frequency than "trash drawer" or "garbage drawer", both of which get Google Books hits in the dozens rather than the thousands, and are just as likely to actually refer to a pull-out garbage bin. "Knick-knack drawer" and "miscellany drawer" get fewer than ten usable hits each. bd2412 T 13:59, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per DCDuring's excellent analysis. (Of course, if junkdrawer is inclusible, then COLAMINE will apply, and we'd keep this.) —msh210℠ 15:01, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * OTOH, of the first 100 uses in Google News, 0 were from outside the US.
 * I wouldn't mind seeing some actual analysis that settled the question of "junk drawer" being a set phrase, rather than depending on unsubstantiated assertions as is our wont.
 * "Trash" and "garbage" are not very close synonyms for "junk". "Trash" and "garbage" are low value and already placed in a location for disposal. The collocations with these in literal usage are clearly related to the waste disposal process. DCDuring TALK 16:07, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Seems simple enough. What word "foo" would you consider a reasonable synonym for junk, such that if it were not a set phrase, you would expect to see comparable number of hits for "foo drawer"? I did try "knick-knack" and "miscellany". bd2412 T 21:13, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know of one, but I don't see how that can be a required test, especially since "junk" has the enormous advantage over most potential synonyms of being of one syllable. I have identified the sense of "junk" as being common to "junk closet", "junk pile", "junk box", etc. The sense of drawer is the same as the one in "pencil drawer", "silverware drawer", "sock drawer", etc. I don't know of any good synonyms for "drawer" either. It is interesting to me that "junkdrawer" and "junk-drawer" are apparently not attestable from edited sources. Such alternations are typical of true lexical units (the rationale for "coalmine"). Neither term seems to have any meaning other than one that exists in other common collocations. DCDuring TALK 23:59, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * But keep it anyway, because now I've become sentimentally attached to it, and will be sad if it is deleted. Also, it's not exactly a slam-dunk case for deletion. Cheers! bd2412 T 01:15, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Does the existence of a set of products called "junk drawer organizers" change the situation at all?  This suggests to me that this is less of what I would have thought of as a "junk drawer" (old rusty bits of whatever), and more like what my family calls an "everything drawer." -- Visviva 19:30, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep per BD2412 and the reasonable doubt test. -- Visviva 19:30, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Here is an additional piece of evidence to consider:
 * 2002, Alison Comish Thorne, Leave the dishes in the sink: adventures of an activist in conservative Utah, p. 71:
 * Today's generation of young mothers also believe the trash drawer is a good idea, but terminology changes and they call it the junk drawer.
 * I think this is important as it shows an evolution in terminology over time, suggesting that the current usage must be idiomatic because it supersedes a previous idiomatic usage. Cheers! bd2412 T 16:28, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think it shows idiomaticness. I like the quotes, I really do, but they could just as easily justify the miscellany sense of junk. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:59, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Isn't the limitation of the word as used in the phrase to one of several possible senses exactly what makes it idiomatic? Or is that a set phrase? Either way, the determination that this kind of drawer was previously called a trash drawer, but is no longer (that is, in modern parlance, "trash drawer" would be incorrect and "junk drawer" would be correct) would qualify both "trash drawer" (as obsolete) and "junk drawer" as entries. bd2412 T 15:08, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I think we would need to establish that "junk drawer" is replacing "trash drawer", but that "junk" is not replacing "trash" in other uses, especially attributive. I look forward to BYU making their corpus of historical American usage available this summer.
 * OTOH, I don't see any evidence of use of "junk drawer" in the UK. What is it called in the UK? Does the entity not exist? DCDuring TALK 16:01, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * All of the sources I have found are American. I'm not sure how to search for UK uses. However, I tried searching for "junk drawer" AND centre OR colour OR labour and got 37 hits, compared to 536 hits for "junk drawer" AND center OR color OR labor. By the way, a search for "trash drawer" yields an overwhelming number of hits favoring a tall kitchen drawer in which a garbage bag is inserted for collection of actual refuse. bd2412 T 17:02, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I have added an entry for trash drawer accordingly. Also, as I mentioned above, "knick-knack drawer" (which is listed in the entry as the UK equivalent) gets a paltry number of hits. In any event, there is not, at this point, a clear consensus for deletion of this entry. bd2412 T 17:17, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Delete. “A drawer for your junk.” What's all this about “set phrase?” I still don't see that in our CFI. —Michael Z. 2010-06-07 18:15 z
 * Regarding this and trash drawer, if we were proposing the etymology for deletion, youd win hands down. Unfortunately we're proposing the entries for deletion because of their meanings, not their etymologies. And you seem unable to justify that at all, simply showing us citations. Since it's sum of parts, of course there are going to be citations. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:24, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Under that standard, it should be impossible to show that fire truck merits inclusion. What, exactly, would it take? bd2412 T 16:35, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Care to say why? Mglovesfun (talk) 16:48, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Why fire truck would not merit inclusion? Because, how would you show that it is not just a sum of parts? The etymology for that entry merely says, fire + truck. Since a junk drawer is not a drawer made of junk, or a drawer which is itself a piece of junk, or something that is a drawer of junk (either in the sense of drawing a picture or towing something), how would we go about proving what it is? bd2412 T 17:01, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * So you're gonna drop your whole fire truck argument before even starting it? The client-centered approach says that a good English speaker seeing junk and drawer together knows what it means with any explanation. A pencil drawer isn't made of pencils, a paper drawer isn't made of paper, a pen drawer isn't made of pens. As much as I like these arguments, they're not relevant to CFI. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:05, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * How have I dropped the fire truck argument? I'm saying that they are essentially the same. You point to the "good English speaker", which suggests someone who doesn't particularly need a dictionary. There is a translation section in "junk drawer" (albeit with only one translation at this point, which may just be a question of finding others), so the entry would seem to be of use to that vast majority of people in the world who are not good English speakers, and who might well think that a "junk drawer" is a device that draws junk, or a drawer full of things that should be thrown away as useless. A good English speaker would also presumably know a fire truck is not a truck made of fire, so if this entry is deleted, why shouldn't fire truck be deleted too? bd2412 T 17:51, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm asking you why they're the same. IMO junk drawer could refer to at least three definitions of junk (1, 2, and 3) as it stands. So if kept, it needs three definitions, not one. So, explain why it's impossible to show that fire truck would not merit inclusion. I seem to have wrong footed you simply by asking you to explain what you meant. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:24, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Your assessment is incorrect. The citations for junk drawer indicate that the only applicable definition of junk is sense 2. We even have citations here directly stating that "We all know that the junk drawer doesn't really contain junk", and that a junk drawer is for things which "may come in handy", and for "odds and ends you need from time". Find me a citation for a "junk drawer" referring to one of the other senses you mention and you'll have a case for the phrase not being set. bd2412 T 22:52, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I could find citations saying that lol isn't a word, so? Mglovesfun (talk) 11:28, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Yes. IMHO, they are covered by WT:CFI. DCDuring TALK 17:50, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The passage that literally nobody understands. This is not good news. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:57, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * They're undoubtedly specific and entries, but my point remains, are they 'words', 'idioms' 'expressions' or whatever. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:00, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * They are names of specific entities, ie, proper nouns. The only basis for excluding them is that they don't meet the applicable section of WT:CFI. That it is difficult to meet the requirements is the point. ISO 639 has not attestably entered the lexicon, not can we claim widespread colloquial use.
 * CFI seems to have been written At a time when folks thought that WP had that part of the world covered and ignored the possibility that transliterations/translations, pronunciations, and the rest might be deemed to justify such entries. DCDuring TALK 18:23, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I find it ironic that we delete stuff saying 'Not dictionary material: see WT:CFI, but CFI doesn't really have any information relevant to that.

Mglovesfun (talk) 18:27, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Terms from technical standards are inherently prescriptive. If someone wants to keep these, at least take two minutes to add a single frippin' good citation to each one before we spend hours debating this. Delete. —Michael Z. 2010-05-15 06:42 z

Delete All names of technical standards, especially ones with abbreviations and numbers, belong in Wikipedia and not Wiktionary. If someone types in ISO 639 and Wiktionary doesn't have an entry, Wiktionary will offer Wikipedia's entry. Although I certainly would never type ISO 639 into Wiktionary, I'd go straight to 'pedia. We're looking for words and expressions in the English language, not in the technical jargon of international standards. If we include ISO 639 we go down a very slippery slope. If we absolutely must have an entry for it, it can go in an appendix with a redirect in the main dictionary. Facts707 07:30, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Delete all standard names as useless and being against common sense, keep ISO, DIN, SFS, SAE and other names of standardizing systems. Common sense isn't exactly a CFI criterion, but I think it should be. If we include names of standards, the next thing to include would be the official names of laws, decrees, government decisions or whatever - they are usually numbered. There are lots of other things to which numbers are given. In Helsinki and most other places of the world, for example, people refer to bus lines by their number.
