Knoten

Etymology
From, , from ,. The two forms are probably variants based on Grammatischer Wechsel. The form with -t- (from Proto-Germanic *-d-) was predominant in East Central German, that with -d- (from Proto-Germanic *-þ-) in Upper German. Incidentally, this situation explains the lengthened vowel in the standardized form (lengthening being blocked before -t- in Upper German, but not in Central German). Neither German form can be derived directly from 🇨🇬, whence 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬, though a relation is very likely.

The senses “journeyman”, “person (of some quality)” are probably due, at least in part, to conflation with, cognate of 🇨🇬. Alongside, there is a common tendency of referring to people, especially children, with words for thick, plump, or inflated objects (compare e.g. ).

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.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called IguanaScales. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name IguanaScales~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:50, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

User:Scsbot/formtools

This is a set of "helper" scripts for processing HTML forms from shell scripts.

Since several calls will be required to several of these tools during the course of form processing, there needs to be some way for the scripts to maintain context across calls. To help the scripts do this, the caller is obliged to invent a unique token and pass it as one of the command line arguments in each invocation. The token is typically just some guaranteed-unique string like "token$$" (where of course the shell will replace "$$" with the current pid). [It would also be possible to have the first-called script choose the token string and return it, and I may rewrite the scripts to use that style.]

The scripts are:

 * formsetup : Perform the initial parse of an HTML page containing one or more forms. Code: formsetup.  Invocation:

formsetup token htmlfile

 * formselect : In case a page contains multiple forms, select the form that the calling script intends to use. Forms can be identified by their id attribute.  Code: formselect.  Invocation:

formselect token form_id

 * formcheckfields : Confirm that the selected form contains the particular input fields that the calling script expects to see. (This is an optional step, since the script to access an individual field, described next, also checks that the requested field exists and returns an error code if it does not. formcheckfields is provided as a convenience so that the calling script doesn't have to check for every possible missing-field error later.)  Code: formcheckfields.  Invocation:

formcheckfields token fieldname1 [fieldname2 ...]

 * formgettmpfile : Return the name of the temporary file containing a field's current value. The calling script may either inspect, alter, or overwrite this file.  (In doing so the calling script emulates a human user with an actual web browser who is either looking at, editing, or typing into a form field.)  Code: formgettmpfile.  Invocation:

formgettmpfile token fieldname

 * formsubmitbutton : Prior to actually submitting a form, indicate which submit button the calling script intends to press. Code: formsubmitbutton.  Invocation:

formsubmitbutton token submitfieldname

 * formsubmit : Actually submit the completed form back to the server. While the rest of these scripts are all written on top of xmlsed, <tt>formsubmit</tt> invokes <tt>httpget</tt>.  <tt>formsubmit</tt> requires two parameters besides the usual token: it needs the base URL which the form was originally fetched from (in case the submission URL is relative to it), and it needs the <tt>httpget</tt> cookie file.  Code: formsubmit.  Invocation:

formsubmit token baseurl cookiefile

 * <tt>formfinish</tt> : Clean up all temporary files and other saved state associated with a form being processed. Code: formfinish.  Invocation:

formfinish token

User:Scsbot/httpget

httpget is a tool for low-level HTTP fetching; it is basically a command-line callable interface to the HTTP protocol. (It is similar to cURL, wget, and lynx -dump -source.)

httpget has two features which are important for this application: (1) it can post data, and (2) it can maintain cookies across calls (just as a real web browser would maintain cookies across page fetches during a session).

Wiktionary:Grease pit/Etymology templates

From BP
I see ever fewer instances of these. How come? Does everybody endorse them or are they not really accepted? Note: I'm only talking about the "derivations" templates, like and such. I think they're very useful for etymologies. — Vildricianus 12:27, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Personally I hate them. The main reason is that I don't like wikified language names, especially in Etymology sections.  It makes everything looks very messy and cluttered and basically hard to scan; when only the etymons are wikified, they stand out much better.  On the other hand the good thing about the templates is that they add the Category:Words of x Language Origin, but I just tend to add that bit by hand.  Widsith 15:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, actually, that's what I meant. The languages shouldn't be wikified, it's the categories which are their main advantage. — Vildricianus 15:03, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * What we really need is a standardized format for etymologies. Once it's standardized it can be personalized. Personally I really dislike language-name-templates because it requires memorozing a long list of abbreviations to use them. But a standardized format would be best if all language names were in one certain style, all foreign forms were in a second certain style, and all glosses of foreign forms into English were in a third certain style. — Hippietrail 18:40, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't understand. Why use the Webster abbreviation instead of the language code, maybe followed by a dot or something? Which one is easier to remember? Or just use the full language name, or some combination (using redirects for the templates). ∂ανίΠα 19:04, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Is there a code for Late Latin? — Vildricianus 19:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm... strange shortcoming. Adding a dot suffix for late, middle, etc. doesn't seem like it would simplify anything. Oh well. 59.112.50.163 21:55, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I would prefer to use the full names of the languages as template names. Each template can include some CSS that can allow setting to bold or italics or whatever depending on where it is used and can be personalized. For languages with multiple names, those can all redirect to one template per language. This way article editors can use whichever language name or spelling they are used to, and everybody will see the same thing. It would even be easy for people to choose say Burmese or Myanmar, Byelorussian or Belarusan for each language. — Hippietrail 20:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Good idea. Sounds very flexible. Sounds also quite easy to apply to existing etymology sections (just enclosing in brackets). — Vildricianus 20:30, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Having them in place, means that Webster imports are not stymied. If such strong objections exist, then the templates use can be "subst:"'ed.  But the notion of prohibiting them (as some are implying) is a very non-wiki philosophy.  On the other hand, having them in place as templates means they still can be "corrected" without too much fuss.  Every few months or so, the decision seems to waffle between linking internally vs. linking to Wikipedia; then back again, some time later.  Having them as templates lets those changes occur without too much database interaction.  Whereas if they were all subst'ed, a bot would have to run each time the wind changed.  Template redirects seem reasonable at first glance.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 16:13, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Why should they be subst:'ed? — Vildricianus 16:45, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * They shouldn't be; I was suggesting that as a kind of potential compromise. --Connel MacKenzie T C 23:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess they need some grease pitting and brainstorming after today's business (mainly inflection templates) is settled. Topic deferred. — Vildricianus 18:59, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Grease pitting
An idea of mine: how about creating 1 template which takes a parameter. Something like, or perhaps even shorter. A finite set of parameter checking could then determine which category to add. ISO codes as parameters would be OK for me, but do Late Latin, Middle English, Old French etc. have codes? I'd prefer the current abbreviations which are easy and memorable, to be used as parameters. — Vildricianus 20:19, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Rod just made . Combining the above and this one creates a template taking two parameters: 1/ language, 2/ etymon. As such it could become quite useful. Any ideas? — Vildricianus 20:19, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Template:etymon

 * (or, "More templates than you can shake a stick at")

As discussed at User talk:Rodasmith, we have not yet standardized the style for etymons. Candidate styles include the use of quote marks, italics, emboldening, wikilinking, and combinations thereof. Recent conversations have highlighted some editors' distaste for and some legibility problems with using italics in general. Fully aware that the current template palette for Wiktionary's "perfect entry" includes more templates than you can shake a stick at, I introduce.

Before proposing adoption of on WT:BP, I would like feedback here to ensure that the proposal is appropriately flexible and technologically consistent with Wiktionary's collective vision.

Similar to and,  should address the following needs:
 * Wiktionary should display etymons consistently.
 * The community can choose and change the default style of rendering all etymons.
 * Readers can choose their preferred display style for etymons.

Because it may be desirable to display non-Latin script etymons with a different style from Latin script etymons, I seek feedback on whether we should use any of the following language-specific or script-specific extensions of :
 * 1) Add the ISO language code as a required first parameter, e.g. on "artel":
 * 2) Add the ISO language code as an optional second parameter, e.g. on "artel":
 * 3) Add the ISO code for the script as an optional parameter, e.g. on "artel":
 * 1) Add the ISO code for the script as an optional parameter, e.g. on "artel":
 * 1) Add the ISO code for the script as an optional parameter, e.g. on "artel":

Option 1 above is a direct implementation of the "From BP" proposal above, but is perhaps problematic for etymons whose languages lack ISO language codes. Options 2 and 3 allow the language-neutral/script-neutral uses of the template to show a default style.

Options 1 and 2 allow the template to show the name of the language, to categorize words according to their language derivations, and to wikilink to the language section appropriate for the etymon, e.g. " " can wikilink to.
 * From Russian "артель".

Options 1 and 2 also allow us to specify a language code of "-" to indicate that the etymon is hypothetical and should not be linked, e.g. on "word":
 * From Proto-Germanic "*wurða-".
 * From Proto-Germanic "*wurða-".

Your feedback is much appreciated. Rod (A. Smith) 23:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Very neat, but needs some more functionality. The language parameter should be required, so we'll need templates for Late Latin etc. The template should also include Category:Xyz derivations, but this won't with the language template structure. Perhaps you'll need to incorporate a parameter-checking infrastructure, adding categories depending on the parameter. — Vildricianus 14:11, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

 * OK. Uses of the template read best if the language code is the first parameter anyway. (I.e. " " and " " seen to read naturally.) Is there an extension of ISO language codes that includes abbreviations for Middle English, Late Latin, Proto-Germanic, and Proto-Indo-European? Does Wiktionary accept entries, language headers, and "Category:Xyz derivations" for each? Rod (A. Smith) 16:28, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

From Wiktionary talk:Index to templates/languages
The following text from Index to templates/languages does not appear to be true:
 * These link to the extended Wikipedia articles, so that finer points of congjugation, etc. can be referenced without too much hastle.

Were links to Wikipedia entries an old convention or am I missing something? Rod (A. Smith) 17:14, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Looks like a bad place to post things. I usually spot these edits, but in general these will go unnoticed.

 * On topic: these templates are bad. They're the old convention to use in =Translations= sections instead of the plain language names. Recently we got rid of them through downright subst'ing everything. They're still being kept for the reason that people will post translations using them, in which case have to be tracked and subst'ed again.

 * We could still use them as our own method for getting but with local names. Where they link to was a matter of where we linked to in translations sections. — Vildricianus 17:27, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the reply. (I will move this to BP or GP if you think the increased visibility would be helpful.) Per your GP post, I plan to modify to determine whether an etymon is a valid Wiktionary link target. It already expands the language code argument using these templates, but an additional option is to determine whether the etymon is a valid link target based on whether its language argument is the name of one of these templates.

 * Anyway, I wanted a complete list of these templates for reference. I thought categorizing them as something like "Category:Language names" might help. It seems I don't need to do so, though, since this template listing page appears to be complete (despite its confusing note about Wikipedia links). Rod (A. Smith) 18:40, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

xmlsed is (intended to be) a simple, general-purpose tool for parsing, analyzing, extracting data from, and modifying XML, HTML, and SGML files.

It is a work in progress -- it is not finished or complete. As of this writing, it has only a couple of features, just those needed by "wikised", the bot script run by User:Scsbot. But for this application (its only application so far) it works just fine.

(Yes, I know, I should have used an off-the-shelf XML tool, such as XSLT or Xerces, to perform these tasks, rather than reinventing the wheel. But the off-the-shelf tools I've looked at are Just Too Complicated.)

Invocation:

xmlsed [flags] inputfile [tag]

At this stage there are only two useful option flags:

 * -t : print a "table of contents" of the input file, showing the nesting structure of the tags. Also, each tag is given a unique identifying number.

 * -x : extract the contents of the requested tag. Tags can be identified in two ways: by their path, or by the unique identifying number listed by -t.  Tag attributes can be extracted as well, using the syntax path/@tag or #uniqueid/@tag.
