Wiktionary talk:Template documentation

Originally from Template talk:en-infl-reg-vowel-e.

Summary
(The following summary is by Rodasmith:)

There has been a constant demand for more, better, and more clearly organized template documentation, but Wiktionary has no policy regarding where to put such documentation. Two common methods follow:
 * 1) Document templates inside sections of templates.
 * Supporting argument: It is the most common method currently in use at Wiktionary and the location is inconsequential. (If it proves to be a load on the servers, then we'll simply have to move them to talk pages.)
 * 1) Document templates on the template talk pages.
 * Supporting argument: Doing so is consistent with Wikipedia (e.g.: w:Template talk:cite web) and reduces server load.

Your input on how to document templates is welcome at Template talk:en-infl-reg-vowel-e/Template documentation. Rodasmith 19:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Now at this very page. — Vildricianus 11:45, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Detailed discussion
A month or two ago, I started including template documentation inside "noinclude" sections of the template. I am no longer convinced this is the best way to go, as it makes the server work overtime for each instance the template is used. Is there active discussion about this practice anywhere that I am unaware of? --Connel MacKenzie T C 16:01, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I had created documentation here and on Template talk:en-verb, ala the standard template documentation style at Wikipedia, but my Wikipedia-style template documentation table of contents formatting was reverted . Subsequent conversation informed me that Wiktionary template documentation belongs in tags on the main template page. So, I moved my documentation from the talk pages as recommended. Please let me know if there is a policy on where to put template documentation. Rodasmith 17:03, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I am certain there is no policy. I doubt there is consensus on what our current practice should be.  I guess this belongs {sigh} in the Beer Parlour as a new discussion topic.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 17:07, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Those reverts look troublesome. I'll ask other sysops if they agree that User:V-ball should be blocked.  As a dictionary, we have built-in redundancy nearly everywhere.  And the TOC directives are a no-no.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 17:09, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Wow, really didn't mean to do something that could get me blocked. Sorry.  Anyway, as far as the format goes, I'll just put my vote in for option 1, the tags.  I just think this looks better and avoids the redundancy (yes, I know it exists, I'm somewhat familiar with dictionaries, but it wasn't just redundant) and the confusion of a TOC that lists stuff above it.  One of my complaints with Wiktionary and Wikipedia is the lack of usability, and a TOC below content listed in that same TOC just doesn't make sense to me.  Anyway, sorry about the nasty edit . . . I really didn't mean any harm, and again, I'm for sections. — V-ball 01:07, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

 * There's absolutely no reason for blocking here; from what I've seen before, V-ball appears to be a well-intended person.
 * I don't think it matters where the documentation is. If it proves to be a load on the servers, then we'll simply have to move them to talk pages. That's no big deal, is it? — Vildricianus 17:50, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

 * As a dictonary, we are redundant in many ways - nearly as a rule. In my short history here at en.wikt: there has been a constant demand for more, better and more clearly organized template documentation.  The notion that wholesale removal of helpful information is itself somehow helpful is the opposite of what I've learned about wiki.  So, the tremendous philosophical chasm between me and this so-called "well-intentioned" contributor may have caused me to over-react.

 * "Template documentation style" needs a calm, neutral discussion on WT:BP. For my part, I think I've possibly blown the "calm" and "neutral" aspects, so I'll try to stay out of it, as long as 1) server performance is discussed, 2) my previous efforts/experiments aren't misrepresented.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 18:21, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Fine, bring it on then. I don't see any problems here, but that'll be because I've no idea of previous discussions on this. — Vildricianus 18:28, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
 * My view is that the mechanism is a brilliant idea. It enables the documentation to be held as close as possible to the template itself, with the most chance to be correctly updated with the template. Can't believe it would place much real load on the servers. --Richardb 13:22, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Additional posts to appear on including pages
This discussion sub-page is included in WT:BP and Template talk:en-infl-reg-vowel-e. Posts in the section will appear only on this discussion page. Other posts will appear in the including pages, adding to the size of WT:BP which is already too large for editors with slow connections.

Documentation of template sets
Some sets of template have their documentation on a page of the Wiktionary space. ????E.g. Inflection templates documents Category:Inflection templates ????. It seems that the category page itself might be a better location for such documentation. Otherwise, the list of templates in the category can easily grown >out of sync with the documentation. Is there a specific reason not to document sets of templates within the templates' category page? Rod (A. Smith) 20:33, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

A cautionary note on the proliferation of templates.
I can remember back to when I started. I found some parts of Wiktionary almost unintelligible (when it came to editing) becuase of the complex use of templates. I think the idea of trying to make everything uniform is fine, but must be tempered with a recognition of the complexity it brings in for beginners.

For example, I can see sod all value in the "serial commas" kind of template, just added complexity for the satisfaction of someone playing with himself. It just isn't needed.--Richardb 13:17, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

 * It's not the quantity of templates that causes difficulty for newcomers, but rather the quantity of fundamental guidelines required to learn, the inconstist template usage patterns, and the lack of template documentation that makes it difficult. Nobody needs to understand or use all of the templates, just as nobody needs to understand all of the WikiMedia magic words or parser functions. The primary use for esoteric templates, WikiMedia magic words, and parser functions should be in other templates, well-hidden from newcomers.

 * Perhaps the key barrier for newcomers is the monumental task of learning how to create a proper entry from scratch. Preloads for new entries can simplify that, just as simple, consistent template names with obvious usage patterns can simplify editing of existing pages. We should identify, list, and correct the causes of each point of confusion. Rod (A. Smith) 16:44, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Index to templates
Index to templates is also used to document templates.--Richardb 13:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

 * It seems that the content currently on Index to templates should be moved to Category:Templates for consistency. Then the following pattern emerges:
 * Each template is documentated in its " " section (e.g. Template:en-infl-reg-consonant).
 * Questions, comments, and general discussion for each individual template is on the template's talk page (e.g. Template talk:en-infl-reg-consonant).
 * Each category of templates is documentated in the template category page (e.g. in Category:English headword-line templates (was Category:English inflection templates) ).
 * Questions, comments, and general discussion for each category of templates are on the template category's talk pages (e.g. in Category talk:English inflection templates).
 * I have included "Wiktionary:Inflection templates" in Category:Headword-line templates (was Category:Inflection templates ) to demonstrate how such documentation might appear if we use the above template documentation organization model. Rod (A. Smith) 16:44, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

From the Grease pit
I'm not sure what the last discussion resulted in. I read again, and found that there hasn't been much discussion. I'm sure though, that perhaps a heavily-used template, like, could do without the extra strain on the servers each time it is edited. Documentation tends to get edited once in a while, so perhaps it's not unreasonable to keep it on the talk pages after all. The thing I have in mind is that, each time a template gets edited, the server caches need to be refreshed (am I right here?), so when we're talking about, that are 15,201 pages that need refreshing. Is this a real strain? I don't know. It's something that didn't get said last time so I say it now. I also want to mention that it may not be unwise to (semi-)protect these templates for the same reasons. The upcoming English inflection templates are the ones that reminded me of it, as they may quickly become the most heavily used ones here. — Vildricianus 22:03, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, the server doesn't know that the changes were only in a "noinclude" section, so the template is marked as "dirty" and every page that uses it is queued for regeneration. I'd support moving the documentation to the template talk pages. We can also change to point to templates' talk pages and have a "noinclude" note at the top of each template to mention that the documentation is in the talk page. Rod (A. Smith) 00:46, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

 * We should really file a bug report / feature request on this. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out if an edit to a template would affect caching. At the very least a dev would respond to our concern about wasting server power. — Hippietrail 22:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I think posting to wikitech-l would be even better. — Vildricianus 22:42, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

 * This is tricky. The command msgnw uses aspects within the noinclude, so the template would still have to be marked as dirty. Of course it would make sense to have msgnw NOT include sections within noinclude, but from the spaghetti-like consistency of this language I doubt anybody likes win-win revisions. You also have to be careful to count includeonly's when comparing changes because their placement can affect evaluation. Davilla 15:07, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure there was any serious debate regarding the noinclude style documentation vs. the talk page documentation. I know I always used the 'noinclude' style only because I'm lazy.  (Lazy in the good way...lazy programmers == code reuse.)  But now that there is evidence that this style of documentation is harmful, it only makes sense to correct it, procedurally, from now on.  Right?  --Connel MacKenzie T C 05:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Since these all come from Project Gutenberg, it could be neat to also have the deep-linked page link for each of these. Very nicely done! --Connel MacKenzie T C 20:06, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! It was a kind of test to see how much toil is involved doing these from all my local files. I've got another bunch for "abiding place", which I'll put here as well, and then find some more recent ones.
 * The links to Gutenberg will involve more work and will be easier to have on the "RQ"-style templates for quotations, when we have more of them. Over time, we will also have to change the link from Gutenberg to Wikisource as they gather more texts. — Vildricianus 13:58, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

♃

Etymology
The Greek letter Zeta with an abbreviation stroke, for, the Greek equivalent to the Roman god Jupiter. The form changed from Classical and early Medieval $⟨Ƶ⟩$ to one with a more salient cross, $⟨♃⟩$, in the 15th–16th century, at about the time that Christian crosses were added to $⟨☿⟩$, $⟨♀⟩$ and $⟨♄⟩$, and so may have had a similar motivation.

Symbol

 * 1)  Jupiter.
 * 2)  tin.
 * 3)  electrum.
 * 4)   herbaceous perennial plant.
 * 5)  Thursday.
 * 1)  Thursday.

Derived terms

 * M♃ – Jovian mass (as a unit of measurement; more commonly MJ).

♄

Etymology
The Greek letters kappa-rho with an abbreviation stroke at bottom, for, the Greek equivalent to the Roman god Saturn. The cross at top was added later, to Christianize the symbol of a pagan god.

Symbol

 * 1)  Saturn.
 * 2)  lead.
 * 3)   woody perennial plant.
 * 4)  Saturday.
 * 1)  Saturday.

Derived terms

 * 🜪 – lead ore.


text:
♅

Etymology
A globe surmounted by the letter H, the initial of Herschel, the discoverer of Uranus ('planet Herschel').

Symbol

 * 1)  Uranus.

Usage notes
While neither symbol is exclusive, $1$ is somewhat more frequent in astronomy, and $⟨⛢⟩$ is very much more frequent in astrology. Use of either symbol is now uncommon in astronomy.


text:
♆

Alternative forms

 * Neptune symbol (barbed).svg – the symbol commonly has barbs on the tines.
 * Neptune orb symbol (fixed width).svg – orbed variant common in German-language sources alongside $⟨♁⟩$ for the Earth and $⟨⛢⟩$ for Uranus, so that most of the planetary symbols contain an orb; sometimes with horizontal barbs on the outer tines so that those look like an inverted omega, $⟨℧⟩$.
 * Bismuth trident symbol.svg – another common variant today; this form of Neptune's trident was used by Newton as a symbol for bismuth, before the planet Neptune had been discovered. Typefaces that use this form may harmonize it with Jupiter so that it looks like $⟨Jupiter symbol (fixed width).svg⟩$ reflected on itself.
 * – Greek capital letter psi is sometimes used as a typographic substitute.

When the symbol has a cross at bottom and the tines do not bear barbs, it may be identical to variants of $⟨🝁⟩$, an alchemical symbol for for quicklime.

Etymology
The trident of Neptune, the Ancient Roman god of the sea.

Symbol

 * 1)  Neptune.
 * 2)  bismuth.

Usage notes
As one of several alchemical symbols for bismuth, Neptune's trident is not attested with barbs on the tines, and is unlikely to have ever had a planetary cross or orb at bottom, but a distinct character is not available in Unicode, and it is identical to the design of the planetary symbol in some typefaces.

♇

Etymology
A monogram of the capital letters P and L, the first two letters of "Pluto" as well as the initials of Percival Lowell.

Symbol

 * 1)  Pluto.

Usage notes
$⟨♇⟩$ has only rarely seen formal use since the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet in 2006. $⟨⯓⟩$ has seen rare use for Pluto as a dwarf planet.

Both $⟨♇⟩$ and $⟨⯓⟩$ are common. $⟨♇⟩$ is universal, due to its early standardization in astronomy, but while astrological use of $⟨⯓⟩$ is global, it is not the preferred symbol in many European countries. (See ⯓ for astrological synonyms.)

kochen

Etymology
From, from , from.

Verb

 * 1)  to cook, to prepare food (chiefly hot food for lunch or supper)
 * 2)  to cook something (in a) liquid (e.g. soup, chili, spaghetti)
 * 3) to boil
 * 4)  to reach the boiling point
 * 5)  to heat a liquid until it boils
 * 6)  to be stirred up or agitated, especially with anger

Usage notes

 * Intransitive can be used for all sorts of food preparation that require at least some amount of work and effort. However, there is a strong tendency to use the verb only for the preparation of a proper dinner, be it lunch or supper. Hence, the preparation of, say, an onion tart for dinner is, even though the food is baked. Contrarily, the preparation of breakfast is only rarely called  even if eggs are boiled in the process.
 * Transitive can generally be used only for actual boiling. Hence,  would be understood solely as dropping a steak into a pot of boiling water.

Talk:cheers

Format for synonyms of terms with multiple definitions
I would like to discuss the structure of the entries in Wiktionary with 'cheers' as an example:

The synonym currently given for 'cheers' as well as the translations, are not for the entry 'cheers', but instead for the sub-entry (cheers - interjection, meaning #1). They do not apply to the verb, or the other meanings like 'good-bye'. Therefore the structure should be different and should allow entering synonyms and translations associated to a specific grammatical type and meaning.

Maybe this has already been discussed and it was decided to keep the structure of entries as it is for some reason, if so, I apologies for raising it again. —This unsigned comment was added by Lgriot (talk • contribs) 2006-04-20 11:32:03.

 * The Synonyms section of Entry layout explained recommends to give synonyms in a separate list for each meaning in this situation, parenthetically summarizing the definition for each synonym list. I reformatted the synonym list in this entry in that way. Rodasmith 20:30, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

cheers, latin alphabet

UK
I’ll heard “cheers” used pervasively in the UK for “goodbye” and “thanks”, but not at all in the US, hence I’ve marked it as “UK”. If in fact it is used in the US, could it be marked as “chiefly UK”? (I don’t know about its use in other countries.)

Nils (Nbarth) (email) (talk) 00:36, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

It's also used infrequently in Canada to mean the same 99.236.245.18 22:36, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Cheers to show agreement
If I recall correctly, cheers is used occasionally to show a sentiment of agreement to a statement (perhaps a shortening of "cheers to that"). Similar expressions would be like "you can say that again" and "truethat!". Mindwitherlesstress (talk) 01:04, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

 * Flange of baboons is (famously) an invented collective noun, first coined for and used in a sketch on the comedy TV series "Not the 9 O'clock News" with Mel Smith and Rowan Atkinson back in the 1980s (if memory serves). Due in part to love of that show, and possibly in part to ignorance of the traditional collective noun for baboons ('troop'), the collective noun 'flange' has been adopted by many zoologists working in that field, as well as by others. It's even referenced in Ask Oxford - http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/collective/b/?view=uk Llykstw

Musical term
For electronic musicians in the years spanning 1940-2000, "flange" was a word to describe a musical effect.

Electronic music was invented using reel-to-reel tape recorders (first using magnetized wire and then magnetized tape). One effect was to record sounds, simultaneously, on two tape recorders and then to play the sounds back in unison. By touching the rim (or flange) of one of the machines' reels, it was possible to slow the speed and to create an echo or even contrapuntal effect. Later, this effect was applied to tape loops by composer Steve Reich, among other noted composers, to create mesmerizing compositions that were among the early experiments that lead to minimalist music. When applied to tape loops, it was described as "phasing" - or "flanging" - music in and out of synchronicity.

Thus, another 1970s example of shifting a noun (flange) to a verb (to flange, flanging).

Here is a reference to this practice in Robert Fink's book, 'Repeating Ourselves.' [http://books.google.com/books?id=khosyjk0ShYC&pg=PA106&lpg=PA106&dq=reich+phasing+flange&source=bl&ots=f5fiJHEYyh&sig=KzkPL8l1GsGhz_fXbvs1buvFWow&hl=en&ei=xkqlTtORF6ni0QGb5unDAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBsQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=reich%20phasing%20flange&f=false
