meaning of [w̌] and [ ǰ ]
I encountered these symbols used for Ancient Greek, but how can a non-syllabic vowel have a tone? Dngweh2s (talk) 15:35, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It's easy for sonorants to have tone or pitch, but almost always in conjunction with a neighboring vowel. Where did you encounter these symbols for Ancient Greek? I don't think grc-IPA generates them, does it? —Mahāgaja · talk 09:15, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

 * In the International Phonetic Alphabet this diacritic denotes . Does that fit the uses? A high and falling pitch on a two-mora vowel, if fully notated, is represented by a combination of the acute and grave diacritics, as in, seen e.g. in the ancient Attic pronunciation of μῆρα. Note that the extra-shortness diacritic of IPA is a “smile”, while in many fonts for Ancient Greek the circumflex polytonic accent is written as a “frown” (upside-down “smile”). --Lambiam 13:16, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The diacritic shown in the subject line above is not the breve (the "smile") that denotes extra-shortness; it's the hacek that denotes rising tone. —Mahāgaja · talk 22:19, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I see — what I didn’t see. --Lambiam 10:43, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It's from the ancient greek phonology wikipedia article. It give's κελεύω as /ke.leú.ɔː/ [ke.lew̌.wɔː] (wiktionary: [ke.lěu̯.ɔː]).  I don't know why something like that is written in [].  I also didn't know at the time that the accent is written on the second letter of diphthongs which made it more confusing.  Also, are they just copying the acute into IPA because it means high tone in IPA. --Dngweh2s (talk) 20:07, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * There are many different ways of transcribing a diphthong with a contour tone (rising or falling). Another option would be or . It's all just a matter of deciding on a convention. The IPA is flexible enough that there can be multiple correct ways of transcribing an utterance. —Mahāgaja · talk 06:57, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

I hope this email finds you in good spirit. I just an overview of this project, since i'm curious to be a part.

Thank!🐼🌍
 * It's hard to tell what your post is going for but are you trying to add pictures to Wiktionary to make it easier to navigate? We do have some visual dictionary work that's already been done and you could definitely add a lot to that if that's what you're asking. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:43, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Searching: Terms with special or accented characters not appearing in results when only normal characters are used in the serach box
How can one ensure that a term entry that has special or accented characters will appear in search results if a user types in normal characters without accents? An example is the Chickasaw entry chokka' á̠a'. If a user does not type in <> exactly like that with the accented and underlined "a", it doesn't show up in the results (e.g. typing just <> doesn't work). I couldn't find this topic in the Help pages. If there is a section that covers all of this and how to work around or through it, please let me know. It would be much appreciated. WiktionaryFan (talk) 10:55, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know; it works for me. Specifically, if I type  into the search box I do see chokka' á̠a' right there below it, ready to be clicked on. It isn't bold, the way a perfect match would be, but it's there. If that doesn't work for you, it's probably an issue with your browser. —Mahāgaja · talk 12:34, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

 * I assume you're only sent to that page after you press enter or click the 'search' button, no? (Otherwise, how does the browser know when you're finished typing and are ready to be sent to a page?) If you don't press enter, you should see the drop-down of suggestions for what you might be looking for (not useful here, where just going directly to the page like you did is preferable, but useful if there were also a page chokka' aa'). - -sche (discuss) 07:23, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

I'd love to contribute, however I asked a simple question regarding the ins and outs of wiktionary and instead of answering the question, there have just been a lot of condescending and antagonistic answers, including your own. A simple response such as "here is where we discuss policy" or "there isn't anywhere we discuss such things" would have resolved this issue a long long time ago. So, I'd suggest it's users such as yourself who are intentionally wasting everyone's time by turning a simple request for information into a drama. But it's okay, you can still answer the initial question and we can move on. (or you can make more accusations and drag this BS out ever more) 152.32.99.116 08:49, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

 * If "you'd love to contribute", then contribute. The reason nobody answered your question before is that your case is open-and-shut - you added POV text to an entry, got reverted, decided to still try to add it back, got blocked and immediately thought you got blocked only because the admin felt like it. There are simply no grounds for your complaint to be built on, and for that reason it would simply be ignored, hence my "wasting your time" argument. — surjection ⟨??⟩ 09:17, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

lynch descendants' template usage
Why is Italian coded as ("reshaped by analogy or addition of morphemes" while Spanish is  (just "borrowed")? (Because of the added -i-? How regular is addition of i after a loanword in /-ʧ/ and before -are?) - -sche (discuss) 08:17, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I bet it's because of the addition of the -are, but that seems silly to me. I'd change der to bor. (It may have even simply been a typo.) —Mahāgaja · talk 10:37, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I thought about the -are, but then why would Spanish adding -ar not be labelled the same way - just inconsistency? But yeah, I wouldn't consider adding either of those to constitute "reshaping" the word. - -sche (discuss) 16:30, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Proto-Indo-European roots consistency
Currently, the PIE roots situation in Wiktionary is something of a shambles. There are a small number of systems of categorising and writing PIE roots. There are some genuine controversies but in the main these systems are mutually consistent. Rix differs somewhat Pokorny in this regard for instance. If two words are uncontroversially descended from the same PIE root then it would be desirable for the etymology on both pages to link back to the same PIE root page but at present they quite often link back to two different pages that, in reality, are describing the same putative root. I think we need to pick a primary system of PIE roots for the purposes of naming pages, and stick to it: within the pages we can discuss the various different versions according to different authors. We could conceivably do this solely via redirects. I want to kick off a project to get this done. I could just hoe in and do it as I see fit but it's probably better that there's a bit of a discussion and consensus about the way forward. Is there a mechanism within wiktionary for me to initiate such a project?Ordinary Person (talk) 10:24, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Do people use regionalisms unconsciously?
I have this very vague memory of using a British spelling under the mistaken assumption that it was standard everywhere in the world, which certainly sounds possible but I have never heard of anybody else doing that. I do, however, remember thinking that the hair sense of ‘ginger’ had always been normal in American English, only to find out later that it was imported through the Harry Potter series. I feel like the accessibility of the Internet has lead to a significant increase in people applying regionalisms outside of careful writing, but I don’t know how somebody would go about proving that. —(((Romanophile))) ♞ (contributions) 22:43, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The Internet has, unfortunately, led to unnecessary dialectal levelling (especially in English). It has also led to instances of regionalisms from a thousand miles away replacing local terms.
 * People are, moreover, lazier in their writing just generally speaking these days. Tharthan (talk) 22:52, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It's certainly true that the hair sense of is relatively new in American English, but I didn't know that it was Harry Potter that had introduced it. The first American publication I encountered using it was South Park. At any rate, an introduction through either Harry Potter or South Park would not be attributable to the Internet, as books and TV are both pre-Internet media. And my own use of British expressions like "I can't be arsed" and "Are you taking the piss?" is attributable to the fact that since moving to Germany I've encountered more speakers of British English than I ever did when I lived in the U.S., and not to the Internet. Nevertheless, it probably is true that the Internet has introduced people to regionalisms they otherwise never would have heard. —Mahāgaja · talk 07:32, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Wikitionary How to search from one language into all others ?
Wikitionary allows searching translation from one foreign language. For instance: we click on an indonesian word, and we hase its translation into english. Is it possible to do the opposite way, that is to say searching, for a word in english, all its translations in all languages found in the wikitionary ?

hoax words
Are there enough words which were coined as hoaxes or jokes to merit a category for them? I can think of azidoazide azide, bananadine, Brazilian aardvark, and Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg. (On the other hand, I understand that—as people say whenever someone complains about neologisms or neopronouns or whatever—all words were made-up at some point, so maybe there would be a lot of edge cases and grey areas. Indeed, compare miscegenation, foxcore, and maybe quiz.) - -sche (discuss) 21:17, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure. I think there may actually be a stronger case for categorising words created accidentally (e.g., ), and we don't have a category for that either. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 21:23, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Oooh, those seem like the sort of thing that belongs in the Hall of Fame, if nothing else. (Maybe the "real fake words" could go there, too.) - -sche (discuss) 23:52, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Would that include ghost words like esquivalience and zzxjoanw, or fake words in humorous works like anatidaephobia? What about Mountweazel and nihilartikel? Chuck Entz (talk) 00:42, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, anatidaephobia is in the same boat as bananadine and foxcore, words coined as jokes, if we want to consider that the same category as hoaxes. Esquivalience and zzxjoanw would also be perfect examples if they existed, but apparently they don't. (Edit: actually, esquivalience has enough citations that I restored the entry for it.) (In turn, Dord/dord, would be another word coined by mistake, if it existed.) Nihilartikel is interesting if the etymology given is correct — if, like Brazilian aardvark, it was coined on Wikipedia — although it seems to be a sincere coinage rather than a hoax or joke(?). - -sche (discuss) 02:48, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

 * According to 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 is an erroneous creation by scribal error, and Ajuga is an erroneous creation by misreading. durmast oak may also result from scribal error, and Mabinogion, and Hebrides.

I left out distortions that derive from speech and are “legitimate”, like from plain metathesis, folk-etymology and adaption to native forms (e.g., , ) etc. But maybe the sausage-name by reason of the spelling too is a literary corruption. Fay Freak (talk) 14:12, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

 * I love the idea but I’d not include words that coined alongside a referent which is the hoax proper (e.g. bananadine). A separate Hoaxes category is better for these cases, but it might be a tad too controversy-ridden for us (bigfoot? Scientology?).
 * Also, name it something like Terms coined as jokes or hoaxes rather than just hoaxes. It’s kind of disparaging to call the likes of azidoazide azide a hoax. — Ungoliant (falai) 15:51, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm not sure what the category should be called; I recognize I've ended up mentioning three distinguishable things here (jokes, hoaxes, and unintentional errors of reading/writing), though it's possible they could all fit under the designation "ghost words". Or perhaps only the last one should be considered ghost words, and the others should be "jokes or hoaxes", as you suggest. - -sche (discuss) 19:05, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

 * I have been putting things like and  in Category:Armenian misconstructions, but I think we should create a Category:Ghost words by language for the words discussed here, including hoaxes. --Vahag (talk) 18:23, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

 * I support categorizing and the other Armenian words as ghost words. And although they originated as intentional fakes, rather than via "misinterpretation or a typographical error", I think we could also categorize esquivalience and Brazilian aardvark as "ghost words". This way, we also don't have to decide what else to call them ("words coined as fakes"? "words coined as hoaxes"?). And based on w:Ghost word's inclusion if feamyng, I gather we can consider Ajuga / celtis / Hebrides to have originally been ghost words, in that they originate from "misinterpretation"? (Our entry claims ghost words must have been "originally meaningless [...when] published in a dictionary" or other reference work, but that is a bit daft; what dictionary publishes a word without asserting a meaning for it? So I take it to mean the string itself must have had no meaning before its coinage / publication...?) Are medireview and cdesign proponentsist also ghost words, or are they something else? Should they (and also Ajuga, celtis, etc?) be categorized as "words derived from misreading or typographical errors" or something? - -sche (discuss) 04:03, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * For lack of a better term, we can use "ghost word" loosely and put there all literary creations due to errors, jokes and hoaxes. --Vahag (talk) 05:12, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Listing for completeness: another misprint is Moreton Bay. See also Albireo (or should only a Latin etymon be categorized?), livadus(?), possibly cenit; see also nt-jqrt, Ulysses, Eaglescliffe, λαῦρος (and plentitude or is that "mere" contamination?). praemunire and praemunire facias are also the result of errors, and newsfroup is the result of a typo, but I'm not sure they count as ghost words. As a separate issue, we have Crimean Gothic entries that say they're misprints but haven't been normalized: fyuf, iel vburt, menus, thunetua, thunetria, vburt (and baar). I've only been categorizing the language that originated the error or in which it first started to be used as a word, e.g. syllabus but not syllabus, on the theory that the English word was taken over without errors from the Latin word once the Latin existed. (This would also mean barberry would not be categorized.) But this is debatable; perhaps syllabus should also be categorized; I'm not sure. Entries where either the entry or its etymon needs to be categorized include basalt, chabazite, gravy, Madagascar(?), morion, rasceta, and rinatrix. Latin obsidianus looks like another candidate if someone could clarify its etymology a bit: the sentence "the more common nomen Obsius was used by Sillig, but the correct name was Obsidius" is worded as if to contradict the sentence before it and say that obsidian is not a ghost word or misreading. - -sche (discuss) 06:48, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Inopportune (discriminating) image in the article for "cleavage"
I propose to remove or substitute the image of the woman showing cleavage in cleavage. In my opinion the image is neither modest, nor is it necessary. Depicting half-exposed breasts in a dictionary is sustaining objectification of women. In most cultures exposed breasts are considered sexually arousing. Every woman should be free to decide to show her breasts to whatever degree. But being confronted with it in a dictionary feels wrong. Are there any opinions on that? How does Wiktionary cope with discrimination?

Democratic processes
Hi all,

Can somebody point me to a resource which explains all the democratic processes here, particularly as it relates to:

 * RFV
 * RFD (keep / delete)
 * Beer parlour discussions (support / oppose)

My questions are:

 * Who does the counting of votes?
 * Who decides when it's time for a decision?
 * Who has the authority to decide the outcome of these informal votes?
 * What happens if there's a clear consensus for some kind of change? What happens next?

Thanks. -- Dentonius (my politics | talk) 15:25, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * RFVs and RFDs are closed by administrators, usually after (at least) a month; the decision is at the closer's discretion. BP discussions almost never produce any binding results, and they're discussions rather than votes. Clear consensus for important change must be demonstrated in a formal vote. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 18:24, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Copyright policy
Hi all,

I've read WT:COPY, but I'd also like some clarification: If the president of a country says more or less (in a foreign language) "I spoke to him on the phone and I invited him to discuss it." This is reported by several different sources. It also appears to be, more or less, a normal sentence that any normal person would say.
 * Is it necessary to cite it or can you simply create an example using ux along with your own translation? Would it be viewed as a copyright violation to do otherwise?
 * Would a citation using quote-book or quote-journal be enough to avoid accusations of plagiarism?

-- Dentonius (my politics | talk) 07:43, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Quoting a short everyday sentence spoken in public by a public figure does not infringe copyright at all. Equinox ◑ 09:10, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . I appreciate it. Just a little background information: I was admonished by a younger admin who I suppose just wanted to plant a warning on my talk page before taking future action (e.g., blocking me). I'm not taking any chances, though. I'll just use quote-book from here on out and avoid contributing to foreign languages here. I'll stick to Jamaican Creole and English. -- Dentonius (my politics | talk) 09:20, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

For the sake of transparency, the quote in question belonged to the Romanian president Klaus Iohannis and was taken verbatim from one or more news sources without being attributed as such. It was most likely taken from the opening paragraph of an article published on the 25th of October 2015 on Economica.net. All material published on that site is copyrighted (terms and conditions found here, unfortunately solely in Romanian). Similar copyrights apply to articles published by Aktual24, Mediafax, Jurnalul Antena3, Timpul etc. In the usage example for invita, there was no mention at all that the quote belonged to the president, a quote he by the way gave in an interview. Surely that kind of quote has to be attributed as such and not as your run-of-the-mill usage example.

For the record, I had and have no intention of blocking Dentonius – I simply wanted to help him understand that quotes, especially taken from news sources, have to be attributed as such so that we don't risk getting accused of copyright infringement.

Thesaurus page for terms meaning "person with characteristics stereotypical of people of another race"
Hello, do words like, , and as a group warrant the creation of a thesaurus page for listed all similar words? The main reason I am wondering is because I am unsure if there is a certain critical mass of related words that is generally considered necessary for a thesaurus page to be warranted. Details on such a standard if it exists would be appreciated. Also, for clarity there are at least six words that I consider related. Many of the terms listed at Thesaurus:newcomer, such as, could also be argued to be related. Hoping the best for you. —The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 02:29, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Hypothetical Kangxi Dictionary entries
I was reading the entry on 悶 and noticed a contradiction: The radical is given as 心 which makes sense given that that is the semantic component, whereas in the "References" section it says that it's not present in the Kangxi Dictionary, but that it would follow character 9 on page 1333 with the 門 radical. In the absence of an original Kangxi Dictionary entry, what is Wiktionary's policy for determining a character's radical and where it would go in the dictionary? (I actually find it a bit odd to state where a character would be in a dictionary that never had it.) Stibitzki (talk) 18:17, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Looks like I've found the answer, the value is the same as that of the field "kIRGKangXi" in the corresponding Unihan entry and I assume the radical is based on the field "kRSUnicode". Still, I feel that the template should mention that. Stibitzki (talk) 10:29, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Citing/quoting poems

-ish Etymology 2
Unless I'm missing something (entirely possible as I'm not fully awake), -ish appears to be missing a definition? Thryduulf (talk) 02:40, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It doesn't have a meaning, and I would be reluctant to call it a suffix of English. —Mahāgaja · talk 06:42, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

 * I added a non-gloss definition as "an ending found on some verbs", directing people to the usage notes, since it should have some definition as long as it exists, but that is without prejudice to RFVing it. I will say Dictionary.com and Lexico have entries for that -ish, though Merriam-Webster and MacMillan do not. Lexico says it is used in "forming" verbs, and our usage notes say it is found not only on verbs of French origin but also verbs "formed on the type of such verbs", as if to imply it might have been marginally productive in English at some point. That text (in our usage notes) appears to have been copied from Century, their examples are: abolish, astonish, banish, demolish, diminish, establish, finish, minish, punish, stablish. Of these, astonish derives from English aston(e), but it may be easier to view the -ish not as a suffix which was applied but as the result of a process like blending. banish claims it's "equivalent to" ban + -ish. Meh. Compare -rix, WT:RFM, ostensible "suffix" on a range of words borrowed intact from Latin. - -sche (discuss) 21:15, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Change ancestor of Jeju from "Proto-Korean" to "Old Korean"
While a distinction technically exists between Proto-Korean as a reconstructed language and Old Korean as a (marginally) attested language, all Koreanic varieties, including Jeju, are descended from the language of Silla (see for more)—which happens to be identical to the very language represented in what survives of Old Korean. So really, PK and OK are the same thing, just one is reconstructed and the other is attested.

I have also been lemmatizing reconstructed Proto/Old Korean forms with the tag for Old Korean.--Karaeng Matoaya (talk) 15:10, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

relatum
Hi, I haven't looked over any of the guidelines on how to use or edit this wiki, but I just wanted to make a post about the Wiktionary entry for the word 'relatum' which I have come across in Karen Barad's 2007 book Meeting the Universe Halfway ("Relations do not follow relata, but the other way around", p136). I'd not come across the word relata/relatum before but my instinctive impression of the definition is, more or less, "that which is related." I think this definition is supported by the two already-cited quotations in the current Wiktionary page for this word. Wiktionary gives this sole definition: "1. A term which is related to the referent." This is fine - sure, the word is related to the word 'referent' - but it does have two problems: 1) it makes no mention of the (I would say glaringly obvious) connection between the words 'relatum' and 'relation' and 2) it actually uses the word 'related' without pointing out said connection. It's a kind of unknowingly circular defintion, in my view. I don't presume to suggest the definition should be removed (I am a totally new user after all) but I think at the very least "2. That which is related" should be appended. BCJT (talk) 17:47, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

How to write a Japanese entry for single-kanji, compound-only senses?
The kanji has the following meanings (taken from kotobank.jp):
 * 1) something that resembles the human shape; doll (Ex., , )
 * 2) pair; couple (Ex., , )
 * 3) even number (Ex. )
 * 4) unexpectedly; accidentally; by chance (Ex., )

However when appearing as a standalone term (as 偶, 偶々, or 偶に) it only ever has the "unexpected" sense, and only this sense is represented in it's entry. What would be the best ways to represent the other three senses?

 * For general entries, we have Template:only used in, which could be used to point towards the compounds a particular meaning is used in. (That may or may not be appropriate here.) If there is a large number/variety of compounds in which one or more of these meanings occurs, I think it's OK to cover the meaning on the kanji page with a label like ja. We may also have a Japanese-specific template for this., who would know more about this. - -sche (discuss) 17:58, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * (PS, since you are also familiar with Korean, either of you might also have input on, above.) - -sche (discuss) 18:01, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * You don’t have to worry about kun readings. It’s rather a Japanese word than a sense of a kanji., , and are all native Japanese words that may or may not be written with the kanji 偶. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 00:34, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Where to add "to scramble expectations"?
Where's the best place to add information about the phrase "to scramble expectations"? Should it be added to scramble, or do phrases like this get their own page? Thanks AxelBoldt (talk) 16:07, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Assuming that "to scramble expectations" can mean something different than the definitions of "scramble" and "expectations" together, the standard place for information about it would be scramble expectations. Pages that might be useful to reference are ask out and answer back. Hope the best for you and that this is helpful. —The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 23:15, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Adding a new language
Hello, I'd like to create a new module for Proto-Romance. According to your naming scheme, the tag would be roa-pro. Could an admin help me add it to this page? Cheers.--Excelsius (talk) 05:26, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It's a bit more complicated than that. First of all, what you're talking about here is a language code. There are plenty of languages that have a language code, but no module. Data that would be included in the existing data modules is normally enough to use in all of our normal templates. And a module doesn't necessarily need its own language code. If you're creating a module to generate pronunciations, it probably doesn't need to use a language code at all.
 * Second, Proto-Romance may not be distinct enough from Latin to merit treatment as a separate language. It's possible to have an "etymology-only" language code that can be used in etymology sections, but the entries themselves are in the main language and the templates convert links to the etymology-only language into links to the main language. Thus, Vulgar Latin has the language code "VL.", which the etymology templates display as "Vulgar Latin" and they add categories such as Category:Spanish terms derived from Vulgar Latin. When you include a term to link to, however, they link to the term as Latin, and the the entry for the Vulgar Latin term itself has a "Latin" header and uses the "la" language code.

Wiktionary is virtually useless for Japanese
Wiktionary is virtually useless for Japanese. Most of the words I have tried to look up just give the katakana or hiragana spelling inxtead of the latin spelling, and perhaps point to some synonyms (also in Japanese). No English definition is provided in most cases. JRSpriggs (talk) 05:53, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hmm. I just looked at 相撲 (as an example) and saw a reasonable translation into English. SemperBlotto (talk) 05:56, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Examples often help. I think the problem is with transliterated Japanese as a language variant.  If one looks up, one gets referenced to the kana, which then one clicks again to get the hanji and then clicks the hanji to get the translation.  I see two issues one here.--RichardW57 (talk) 16:13, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * There is a lot of hostility to, or perhaps just contempt for, those who are using a language in other than its native script. Perhaps the preferred answer is to use the search box at the top right of the pages rather than to access words by URL.  However, for several languages, such as Japanese, a more sympathetic approach has been allowed to poke through.
 * The second problem is that maintaining complete entries for different ways of writing a word is difficult, given the way information is stored on Wiktionary. The solution adopted is to have a primary entry, which holds details such as etymology, multiple meanings and attestations.  (Sometimes bits are so large that they are stored in appendices.).  This is why you have to take an indirect route.
 * There are several ways to ameliorate the second issue. You may notice that the conversion is done by invoking the template .  What I have taken to with Pali entries is to use the parameter t to add the basic meaning of the word, to serve as a memory jogger.  That parameter is used for many templates, including this one.  There may be a straightforward way to elegantly add the kanji, so that it is only one extra click to get to the full entry for the word.
 * Now, who's going to add this extra information. Well, 'anyone can edit', so I suggest you do, on the principle of leaving a public utility as you would wish to find it.  If you have a tendency to forget Japanese words, and look the same word up several times, you will even be helping yourself.  One could expand the current entry from
 * to
 * ; see for details
 * Others may suggest better formatting. --RichardW57 (talk) 16:13, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

unable to include audio file in template?

 * Just now I tried searching in the search box, and only the .wav version showed up (at commons, both do). Entering the .wav file seems to work now. I'm guessing that this is some kind of problem with indexing or communication between servers.

Palawalla - word submitted today
Dear editor(s), I am writing you to provide more anecdotal evidence supporting the existence and use of the word 'palowalla' in Guyana by Guyanese as described in my initial submission. Within the past few hours, additional Guyanese members of my Facebook Group have added comments that the term was used only by Guyanese to describe 'islanders" and "migrants from St. Lucia" (or other French-Caribbean islands) who spoke a distinct brand of French-Creole, the cadence of which they (English-speaking Guyanese) informally translated onomatopoetically as "palowalla" thus birthing the word. Hence, the word definitely exists in the lexicon of most Guyanese, especially Baby-boomers. Please feel free to contact a random sample of Guyanese in this demographic for additional confirmation. Regards, James G. Paul Sr.

language levels
the description of the language levels doesn't match in some languages... for example ru-2 is intermediate in the English description but in the Russian one it says "хорошо" (good/well) LICA98 (talk) 18:44, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Lemma Consolidation and Copyright
I've been consolidating Pali lemmas by moving information from inflected forms to the lemma entry, and marking the entries as inflected forms. It now occurs to me that some of those entries of what are now presented as inflected forms (chiefly nominative singulars) may have acquired copyright 'protection' from re-use at creation, except as permitted by the CC BY-SA licence. Is there a recommended procedure to provide attribution for these entries that have been moved from one page to another? Wikipedia has a recommended procedure associated with w:Template:copied, but I see that a template copied has been deleted from Wiktionary. (I can find no record of what it was or why it was deleted.) Is there a recommended manner for complying with the CC BY-SA licence when performing such consolidation? --RichardW57 (talk) 19:48, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * An edit comment or a note on the talk page should be sufficient. If the other page gets deleted, that could be a problem, though. The edit history needs to be viewable somewhere and there has to be some way to get to it from the new location. Chuck Entz (talk) 19:55, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The Wikipedia template w:Template:copied is supposed to address that issue, but my guess is that it was rejected at Wiktionary. I suppose it could have been deleted for lack of use.  If we can credit all editors of the source entry in the destination's change history, we don't actually need to be able to access the change history. --RichardW57 (talk) 23:28, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Template:ux

 * I don't think there is a "procedure". You'll need to copy Module:usex to the ഘടകം namespace on the Malayalam Wiktionary, and Template:ux to the ഫലകം namespace, while acknowledging their sources in the edit summaries to conform to the attribution requirement of the CC BY-SA 3.0 license. If you want documentation in Malayalam, you need to translate and install Template:ux/documentation; otherwise, you can remove or comment out  from the template code (although it does not hurt the functionality of the template itself).  --Lambiam 16:30, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Definitions and literal meanings of proverbs
Can I add literal meanings to a proverb? On this entry alah bisa, tegal biasa, only the definition “Practice makes perfect” is given, but it lacks the literal meaning. I think adding the literal meaning would allow users to better understand that proverb. Should I just add “lit. [literal meaning]” in basic text there, or is there any special template for it?

Thank you! -Colathewikian (talk) 05:26, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Talk:se

Polish dialectal / colloquial "se" missing
"Se" - a very common informal contraction of "sobie" (dative "to himself / myself" etc.) is missing here. As long as it is not accepted by many grammar purists as standard, it is part of a very wide language use and accepted in colloquial speech. Eg.

Zrób se wolne w pracy. (Take some time off at work)

Some slang sayings only accept "se" rather than "sobie": Daj se na wstrzymanie (calm down / chill down)

Talk:tikə

no Chuvash/Hungarian = no Proto-Turkic!
Hi.

What is the reasoning behind this? You realise if we really applied this, we would need to get rid of 90% of the reconstructions, doesn't matter PT or any other proto language. Having no Chuvash in the descendants may indicate uncertainty in some vowels or consonants where Chuvash may be indicative of a certain sound in some cases but it doesn't indicate lack of such words. --Anylai (talk) 16:09, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
 * The reasoning behind this is called the comparative method. If adherence to it requires that we delete 90 % of the reconstructions, so be it. In the meantime, I don't think it is the case that 90 % of the current Proto-Turkic reconstructions need to be deleted, but it may well be the case that many of them need to be "downgraded" to Common Turkic, as there is no evidence that supports their reconstruction at the older level. "Having no Chuvash in the descendants may indicate uncertainty in some vowels or consonants where Chuvash may be indicative of a certain sound in some cases but it doesn't indicate lack of such words." - that's where you are wrong, my friend.

Template:RQ:Hardy Two on a Tower/documentation

Usage
This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote 's work  (1st edition, 1882, 3 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the Internet Archive:

 * Volume I.
 * Volume II.
 * Volume III.

Parameters
The template takes the following parameters:

 * 1 or volume – mandatory: the number of the volume quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either I, II, or III.
 * 2 or chapter – the chapter number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals. The chapter number restarts from I in each volume.
 * 3 or page, or pages – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
 * Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: 110–111.
 * You must also use pageref to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
 * You must specify this information to have the template create an automatic link to the online version of the work.

 * 4, text, or passage – a passage quoted from the work.
 * brackets – use on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.

Talk:egyből a lyukba

How is this an adverb? I thought it'd be a noun, but does "egyből" make the whole phrase an adverb? Dragonman9001 (talk) 17:42, 1 January 2020 (UTC)Dragonman9001
 * A noun responds to the question "ki?/mi?", an adverb "hogyan". The PoS also could be a Phrase in this case. BTW, when you sign your comments, please use four ~ instead of four dashes. Panda10 (talk) 18:09, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
