User talk:Gunslinger47

Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary!

If you have edited Wikipedia, you probably already know some basics, but Wiktionary does have a few conventions of its own. Please take a moment to learn our basics before jumping in.

First, all articles should be in our standard format, even if they are not yet complete. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with it. You can use one of our pre-defined article templates by typing the name of a non-existent article into the search box and hitting 'Go'.

Notice that article titles are case-sensitive and are not capitalized unless, like proper nouns, they are ordinarily capitalized (Poland or January). Also, take a moment to familiarize yourself with our criteria for inclusion, since Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia. Read our Transwiki process if you plan to work on importing information from Wikipedia. Don't go looking for a Village pump – we have a Beer parlour.

Finally, you can link Wikipedia pages, including your user page, using pagename,, or. Please do not create redirects to Wikipedia pages, though. They don't work.

We hope you enjoy editing Wiktionary and being a Wiktionarian. --Connel MacKenzie 22:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You guys should think of writing up a "Wikipedia's guide to Wiktionary". There are a few subtle differences that I could only discover by tripping over them. –Gunslinger47 22:56, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Help:Welcoming

Welcome
Welcoming new users onto Wiktionary helps build the Wiktionary community, and breaks the ice for leery newcomers.

In general, sysops do not 'welcome' new users when the account is created. For registered users, one or two good edits is a rule of thumb (so as to not waste time on vandal/sockpuppet accounts.) For anonymous IP contributions, most sysops wait for 3-5 'good' entries.

Besides giving new users helpful information on how to find their way around Wiktionary, the welcome messages change the display for those contributions, making "recent changes patrolling" slightly easier, when used correctly.

How to Welcome
There are three general ways to welcome new users, depending on how they have conducted themselves.

The template is used for users who obviously have contributed to Wikipedia; they may or may not have some preconceptions about how things should work.

The template is the general purpose template for new user accounts.

The template is for non-vandal IP accounts. Earlier versions of this template simply restated the request to create an account many times.

Note that vandals are only 'welcomed' by accident, when following the above rules of thumb.

Adding the comment "Welcome" or "Welcome, please consider creating an account" in the edit summary is common.

I've been giving a lot of thought as to what this template should do and look like. I don't have the skill to write the template myself, so for la-noun I'm writing up the specifications. Please put comments below the sections of specifications, rather than among them. --EncycloPetey 04:20, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Parameters
There should ideally be four parameters instead of the current five. See B through D below under "needs of the template".

 * (1) - nominative singular form with macrons
 * (2) - genitive ending for standard set, OR the full genitive singular
 * (3) - gender (m, f, n, c = m & f)
 * (4) - declension (first, second, ..., fifth, BUT see existing templates)

Needs of the template

 * A - display nominative singular form (1) in bold
 * B - recognize standard genitive endings in (2) and attach them correctly to (1) ELSE use the full genitive singular form given
 * C - take resulting genitive form from B and create a form stripped of macrons
 * D - display genitive form (with macrons) in bold, but linked to page name without macrons
 * E - identify the gender (3)
 * F - link to the appropriate declension page using (4)

Examples
Here are some same inputs and outputs, including the most common genitive form endings so that whoever writes the code will know how to handle them. The first key point is that if parameter (2) is not one of the standard set, the code should assume that (2) is the full genitive form. The second key is that the display form and link form of the genitive are different. Standard dictionary and textbook forms contain macrons, but we have chose to have the names of entry pages lack such macrons, since written Latin does not actually include these markings. Each genitive must therefore be dealt with in two forms, and I'd rather not have to enter a form with and a form without macrons. Macrons occur only over vowels, as: ā, ē, ī, ō, ū and over y (both in capital and lowwer case.

Some Latin entries in Wiktionary use breves (eg ă). These are not standard in most Latin dictionaries, and are not currently found in the Latin/Roman section of the edit tool. We may choose to not use them in Latin, but the tool should be able to handle these without going haywire.

Examples with standard genitive forms to be accomodated
Below are examples of what I would like the input and corresponding output to look like for this template. All of these examples are standard constructions of common regular forms. The template (3) information follows what a standard Latin dictionary would give, so having it as the accepted input will be intuitive for those familiar with Latin.

One additional feature that won't be obvious unless you look at the markup up the text below is that #Latin is used to link the genitive. While many, or even most of these words will appear only in Latin, there are Latin words which occur in derivative languages like Spanish, Italian, and French. It would be nice to be certain that the link goes to the appropriate language instead of simply linking to the right page.

There is really just one way that the first declension genitive is formed, and two for the second declension. There is a wide variety in the third declension.

 * Desired output:
 * lacūna (genitive lacūnae) f, first declension

 * Desired output:
 * equus (genitive equī) m, second declension

 * Desired output:
 * oleum (genitive oleī) n, second declension

 * Desired output:
 * expīlātor (genitive expīlātōris) m, third declension

 * Desired output:
 * stercus (genitive stercoris) n, third declension

 * Desired output:
 * dēbilitās (genitive dēbilitātis) f, third declension

 * Desired output:
 * cōnsitiō (genitive cōnsitiōnis) f, third declension

 * Desired output:
 * cīvis (genitive cīvis) c, third declension

 * Desired output:
 * strāgēs (genitive strāgis) f, third declension

 * Desired output:
 * partus (genitive partūs) n, fourth declension

Irregular and unusual genitive forms
These are examples of odd and irregular entries. They should be easy to handle; the length of the list makes it look harder than it will probably be. I simply wanted to include a sufficient number of test examples.

 * Desired output:
 * stīpes (genitive stīpitis) m, third declension

 * Desired output:
 * īnsīgne (genitive īnsīgnis) n, third declension

 * Desired output:
 * strēnuitās (genitive strēnuitātis) f, third declension

 * Desired output:
 * iūdex (genitive iūdicis) c, third declension

 * Desired output:
 * sūs (genitive suis) c, third declension

Special cases
I would also like the template to work when the person entering the word is uncertain of the declension and leaves that parameter out, as:

 * Desired output:
 * lībāmenta (genitive lībāmentōrum) n

And also to handle nouns that are indeclinable:

 * Desired output:
 * nihil (indeclinable) n

As well as nouns that are exclusively singular (eg aurum), or exclusively plural (eg nūptiae). The key difference here is that if the template normally spouts genitive or singular genitive, it needs to have the option to note that the given genitive is plural because there is no singular.

 * Desired output:
 * nūptiae (genitive nūptiārum) f, first declension, plural only

There are also words like filius that have more than one genitive form. The input is less certain here, but the output is.

(the exact form for the input is not fixed)
 * Desired output:
 * filius (genitive filiī or filī) m, second declension

There are also some Latin words that consist of two parts, as in English. The template should have a means for handling these.

Additional nicetites
It would be nice to have an optional parameter (5) that would identify the sub-type of declension. But that can wait.

My comments / view
First of all, I'd like to notice that I appreciate the work on the template. Latin could use some work on the Wiktionary, especially with various conflicting forms of words provided, not to mention entries like TAVRVS which I've encountered (and fixed, or at least some of them, I hope).

However, I'd like to present an alternative view on the template - based on the "dictionary form" of Latin, that is, rather than using the form (genitive something), the genitive form could be listed after a comma, thus:

mater, matris (third declension)

Alternatively, the genitive could actually link to the declension.

mater, matris

I don't see much point in creating separate entries for genitives, as you could as well create them for nominative plurals or any of the other cases.

The above form also allows for a shortening in regular cases, e.g.

porta, -ae

Of course, that's just my subjective view at the whole thing (but that form more closely resembles forms provided in traditional scholastic materials and Latin dictionaries). Some thoughts would be nice to hear.

Second of all, are there any plans for changing the template according to this talk page? Because I have actually introduced this template to several entries, and I guess I should refrain from doing so if in the near future, the number of arguments is going to change, for example. The above was posted by User:Filip on 28 August 2006

 * The (genitive something) form was chosen to mirror the standard form of other templates. However, there is on-going work being done to make the display form customizable via a user's monobook.  Once the necessary code has been added, any of the above suggested forms should be selectable according to personal preference.

 * The philosophy of Wiktionary is all words in all languages, which includes plurals, genitives, and all the other possible forms. In English, there is already a drive to add plurals, third-person singulars of verbs, comparatives of adjectives and the like. I haven't tried to add alternative forms for most Latin words yet, but the principal reason is that I want to get the basics of lemmata forms settled before tackling non-lemmata forms.  You might like to look at Wiktionary:About Latin, which I have started writing as a guide to entering Latin words.  It's still very much in progress, but I plan to add a lot more text this weekend.

 * As for using the template, while the number of arguments is likely to change, go ahead and use the template. It will be a simple matter to have a bot clean up the existing entries once the new version of the template is up and running.  --EncycloPetey 19:33, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually, I don't think all words in all languages should be necessarily understood creating entries for all possible forms of words, especially in inflected languages - in most cases, the entry could be limited to the singular nominative, but provide a declension table of all forms (as it already occurs in most cases). English is a slightly different case, being an analytical language.

 * As for customization, it sounds great and I look foward to it. However, I think the main aspect of my proposition is the ability to shorten regular forms (e.g. porta, -ae), which I think won't be that easy to implement automatically (or maybe I just have little faith in that). It also takes generally less space and, as I said, is based on actual scholar / library form of Latin dictionaries. But I don't try to push my idea here: it's good to see some work being done in any way.

 * Thanks for the response and links. I'd love to see Latin get more organised here.

Talk:醫

Graphical significance and origin
I think this description given for this character's origin is inaccurate. I believe the character is actually a 形聲字 (a phonetic compound character), with the lower portion representing alcohol as an anesthetic, as was stated, but with the upper portion 殹 representing the phonetic complement yì, as well as a secondary semantic meaning of an bad or ill sound. 殹 is an old character that represented the sound of an arrow striking something (arrows in a quiver + strike). 醫 (yī): 酉 (alcohol) + 殹 (yì/ill sound). User:LeeWilson 04:33, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

 * You should discuss it with User_talk:A-cai, our resident Chinese expert. —Stephen 05:32, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree with the above assessment. I think the misunderstanding here comes from a misreading of an English definition.  匚 could be defined as chest in the sense of box, case, or basket.  匚 does NOT mean chest in the sense of the upper torso of a person.  I wrote a new version (along with citations), please feel free to edit for readability:

 * 醫 is both a phono-semantic compound character (形聲), and a compound indicative (會意).  As a phono-semantic compound character (形聲), it contains two parts: 殹 (pinyin: yī) and 酉 (pinyin: yǒu).  殹 is the sound component, whereas 酉 (referring to the alcohol used during a medical procedure) helps to convey the meaning of the word.  It also works as a   compound indicative (會意), because 殹 literally means to groan (original meaning: the sound of being struck by an arrow).  殹 is composed of two parts: 医 (which provides the sound) and 殳 (a weapon, the meaning component).  Finally, Shuowen Jiezi defines 医 as 盛弓弩矢器 (literally: a device for holding the arrows of bows and/or crossbows).

Rewording, moving stuff around
I can't believe no one ever reworded some of the more outrageous items. Part of the reason I worded things so oddly, was to encourage others to help out with maintaining it...but that hasn't really worked so well, so far. If someone is willing to give it some real thought, these could probably be reordered much more logically, instead of in the order they were implemented. --Connel MacKenzie 00:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, do people have ideas on how to clean up "custom.js"? Right now, the 1st half is the customizations, the second half is the thing that does the magic checkboxes on this page. You can reorder the buttons in the second half to your heart's content, without changing the cookie names. The order they are added is the order they appear. --Connel MacKenzie 01:21, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Nothing in Safari
I'm pretty sure WT:PREFS used to work for me. Now nothing shows up between “Save settings to refresh view” and the category links.

I do see the prefs in Firefox 3, but what I set there doesn't take effect in the other browser. —Michael Z. 2008-08-11 20:52 z

 * I learned that clearing the cookie restores the unfilled preferences form, but any time I check some prefs and click “Save settings” once or twice, the entire form disappears and none of the prefs work. Currently using Safari 3.2.1/Mac. —Michael Z. 2008-12-02 18:02 z

 * Does Safari have any sort of "error console" to see if maybe the JavaScript is raising/throwing an exception/error/something? That would explain the form disappearing — the checkboxes are added by JavaScript (User:Connel MacKenzie/custom.js) — so if a [something] occurs before the first checkbox is added to the DOM, the script would exit and none of them would show up. —Ruakh TALK 19:42, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Not sure where I would look for an "error console", but I use Safari and have the same problem. I originally set my PREFS while using a PC, so I can't recall whether this is a "new" problem (within the past year), or whether I've just never adjusted preferences from my Mac until recently. --EncycloPetey 19:48, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

 * It's hard to be sure without actually trying it out myself, but it looks like item #14 of the Safari Developer FAQ (http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/faq.html) describes what I'm looking for. Can you give it a try? —Ruakh TALK 19:53, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

 * OK, I've deciphered the info... Interesting. Opening this edit window produced this error message:
 * "Error: NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: DOM Exception 7 http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=-&action=raw&smaxage=0&gen=js&useskin=monobook (line 108)".
 * Visiting WT:PREFS yields no message (cause it's a redirect?), but then reloading yields two error messages:
 * Error: NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: DOM Exception 7 http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=-&action=raw&smaxage=0&gen=js&useskin=monobook (line 108)
 * [The HTML that caused this error was generated by a script.] is not allowed inside . Moving into the . http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/WT:PREFS (line 85)
 * That, at least, looks specific enough to be addressed. --EncycloPetey 20:08, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

 * The error about <style> inside <div> is fine, firstly in that (judging from the message) Safari seems to be handling it properly, secondly in that it doesn't seem like it can be the source of the problem, and thirdly in that there's nothing we can do about it anyway. (That error is due to the site notice, which is currently a fundraising box that does indeed have a <style> within a <div>.)
 * The DOM exception is interesting. I can't replicate it on Safari on Windows, but Google suggests that it may be Mac-specific in some cases, which would explain that. The problem is, while in theory I think we could fix it by just using appendChild instead of innerHTML, I'm worried that that would break IE support. :-/  But oddly, that doesn't seem like it should affect WT:PREFS, either, so mostly I'm just at a loss.
 * —Ruakh TALK 02:30, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

 * O.K., duh, I do see how that would affect WT:PREFS. I've now edited MediaWiki:Common.js in a way that should hopefully fix it without breaking support in any other browsers. Please hard-refresh and try again. —Ruakh TALK 14:33, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Change looks good to me - such is the fun of the DOM. Conrad.Irwin 14:43, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, I just tried it yet again (to see what the console says), and the “Trial the javascript prominent interwiki links” actually added the link to a page once. I reloaded, and it was gone again (although the WT:PREFS form is still there).  I doubt this helps much.  By the way, I ran the contents of User:Connel MacKenzie/custom.js through a couple of online JavaScript Lint checkers, and it threw a whole bunch of error messages, mostly about missing braces. —Michael Z. 2008-12-02 20:14 z

 * It's popping in and out for me. It seems the links appear if I load a page орел, but not if I load a URL with page anchor орел.  Caching seems to confuse this distinction, but a page reload always acts as described. —Michael Z. 2008-12-02 22:45 z

 * Hm, that's very interesting - I had a problem with User:Conrad.Irwin/parser.js when visiting links with a # in them. The lint checking is just complaining that I didn't explicitly use {} around single statement blocks (which is a perfectly valid thing to do). Conrad.Irwin 14:43, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Okay, I'm not making this up: now the link shows up whenever I load any version of a URL: ковбаса, ковбаса, or ковбаса. But on every single reload of such a page, it is gone.   Load from URL again, there, reload, gone.  No matter how many times or in what combination.  Safari/Mac only; works as advertised in Firefox/Mac. —Michael Z. 2008-12-03 15:16 z

 * I'm guessing that when you explicitly reload the page, Safari does a hard-refresh, dumping all referenced resources from its cache. Then it has to actually re-download all the scripts in order to import them. Further, I'm guessing there's some sort of race condition, such that if there's a delay during the import process (e.g. due to having to re-download them), they won't all work. If so, it's probably fixable, but probably not by me. I just don't know enough about browser and JavaScript quirks and such. Sorry. :-/  —Ruakh TALK 16:12, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Race condition is possible, and should be fixable if we can find it (note means that all added hooks will run,  means there shouldn't be a race condition after iwiki.js has started) though I'm not sure how to start looking as I'm also Safari-less. Conrad.Irwin 16:20, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Safari has just come out in a new version 3.2.1. When I updated my version a few minutes ago, some of the previous problems were corrected, including the WT:PREFS issue.  Ruakh's style/div edit may be responsible as well, since I did not try the page between the time he made his edit and the time I updated. --EncycloPetey 19:30, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * WT:Prefs seems to be working for me now, but the interlanguage link still disappears on reload (the possible race condition described above). —Michael Z. 2008-12-07 23:11 z

Move to Gadgets tab in Special:Preferences ?
Could this function please be moved into the Gadgets tab in Special:Preferences? That way, it would be portable from browser to browser, and computer to computer, without having to retain cookies on a local computer to use it? Cirt 22:08, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * We do have Gadgets installed, so that should be possible. However:
 * I'm not sure whether we want to do it for all preferences, because:
 * some users might well prefer certain preferences only on certain browsers (e.g. the IRC link, the spellchecker, and the inflection-boxes).
 * the Gadgets tab seems a bit formal, and a lot of these preferences aren't very functional.
 * None of our preferences are in appropriately-named files, so this would take some effort.
 * Since gadgets are loaded before the site skin, whereas these preferences are loaded afterward (I think?), we'd want to do some debugging to make sure that all preferences work as gadgets.
 * All told, I'm not opposed, but I think it warrants discussing at Grease pit, or even at Beer parlour, before anyone starts along that route.
 * —Ruakh TALK 23:27, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay these all sounds like good points. Perhaps post a note to Grease pit, or Beer parlour, that way we could keep a unified discussion here? Cirt (talk) 01:39, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Update: I posted a notice about this thread, in a new subsection at Beer parlour. Cirt (talk) 07:15, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Special:Preferences should only include items that are debugged and at least working in the modern browsers (Firefox, Safari, Opera), and hopefully in MSIE too. I'd rather not see it cluttered with about 40 unsorted and undocumented preference items. Is there a way to gauge how much use which of the preferences are seeing?

By the way, is Gadgets supposed to be enabled now? I don't see the tab in my special:Preferences. —Michael Z. 2008-12-07 23:00 z

 * Gadgets is enabled, and we don't use it for a few reasons. Firstly many of the WT:PREFS are CSS based, and adding an entire javascript file for each one line of CSS is very inefficient. Secondly it would prevent anonymous users from using them. Thirdly it'd need someone with some time on their hands to port everything across and check that it worked everywhere (and as we just got PREFS working again in safari, it'd probably irritate many people to re-break things). The benefit of Gadgets is that prefs are tied to a user instead of a browser, so they are carried between computers (though this can cause a problem with browser-specific prefs) - but that's not a huge benefit. I'd been thinking vaguely about finding a way to store WT:PREFS for logged in users in the way gadgets does, but haven't had time to look into how to hack the mechanism. There's no way of counting PREFS usage - though it could be done with a few minutes of work and a toolserver account and a wait of a month [yay cache] - if there were no privacy concerns. We could really do with a new interface page, I recently cleaned up all of the code, but the list of tick boxes could do with a sorting. Conrad.Irwin 00:34, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

 * It would be nice to document them, too—I can't tell what some of them do. I'll start a list above, and let those in the know fill in any gaps.

 * This could be a good start to sorting and categorizing them, and designing a friendlier interface. Is there any impediment to adding a label element with title attribute for each checkbox? —Michael Z. 2008-12-08 01:14 z

 * I've put them into broad categories, if you want to do more just poke at User:Connel MacKenzie/custom.js - you could get it to add a label instead of just text for each item by editing function wiktAddButton. Conrad.Irwin 00:35, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Re: CSS-based PREFS: My understanding from reading the docs was that gadgets could be CSS, JS, or both. Did I misunderstand? —Ruakh TALK 02:18, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Gadgets can be CSS, JS, or both - is absolutely correct on this. And yeah, the major advantage is portability by user to any browser, as opposed to having to reset preferences every time you go to a new computer/browser. Cirt (talk) 05:33, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

 * In reply to Conrad's "I'd been thinking vaguely about finding a way to store WT:PREFS for logged in users in the way gadgets does, but haven't had time to look into how to hack the mechanism": What I do is simple: I choose the (few) prefs I want to use and edit special:mypage/monobook.js. User:Msh210/monobook.js thus has importScript calls for Conrad's creation.js, Connel's patrolled.js, and others, and has my own version of Connel's reformat.js.—msh210 ℠  20:29, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * does also bring up a good point, perhaps we should have a page explaining how to do this for newer users? Cirt (talk) 23:26, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd add it under #Documentation above, but it's not a trivial task - which is why some auto-solution would be better, saving it in user javascript is a possibility I've had a look at, it should be fine but the effects of mistakes could be considerable for an automaton editing source code. Conrad.Irwin 00:35, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well that is why only admins can edit that part of project-space. :) Cirt (talk) 00:48, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

 * I'd like to start by saying that in general, I think this is a good direction. I'm confused by some of the comments above from Michael Z regarding documentation.  At any rate, several attempts to unify and reset all the JS have come and gone (most memorably to me, on Brion's Wiktionary test server.)  Refactoring it all, seems like the correct first step.  As parts can be separated out without losing efficiency (i.e. not crashing anyone) they can and should be migrated to Gadgets.  But a keen eye should be kept on that total JS size, since it is reloaded so frequently (except each time the devs try to add performance enhancements that obliterate functionality and is invariably undone quickly.)  Before Gadgets, the intent was to move all site-specific JS to the Wiktionary namespace.  I know I did not follow through with that, even though others have done sporadic maintenance.  If anyone is (or better, a group of people are) considering taking this on, I hope they solicit input from other language Wiktionaries.  Off the top of my head, BS, DE, FR, NL, AR, ZH, JA and others have very significant JS investment as well.  --Connel MacKenzie 03:57, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Re: documentation, I've gone through the code and I think I've figured out most of the puzzling ones. For example, “Allow special characters to be input” meant to display another copy of the wiki character picker (this is something I routinely do with my system's keyboard layouts and character pallette)—special characters have always been “allowed”.  “Indent entries with “See also” lines above the TOC properly” actually means to indent the “see also” by 4 ems instead of 2 ems—“propriety” has nothing to do with it, and why do we need to clutter the prefs and provide software support for this?

 * I have a problem with the huge investment here in truly trivial functionality. Offering someone the opportunity to italicize their brackets doesn't only bring down the prefs interface by filling it with dreck, it also introduces a maintenance burden and a threshold of accessibility to developers.  It weaves code through dozens of inflection templates whose function is to put redundant content into every entry in the project, and then more code in the CSS to hide some of it from those of us who don't rely on assistive technologies (if you dropped a few grand on a braille display which actually follows web standards, then screw you, because you'll have to read inflections twice and will have to read transliterated terms with nonsensical brackets).

 * WT:PREFS should be pared down. We should just pick a design for minor typographical elements instead of bringing down the whole project in the name of meaningless “user choices.” And trivial nonsense shouldn't be introduced into the main prefs.

 * Sorry to rant, but I've spent a lot of time wading through the infrastructure, trying to figure out how to make meaningful improvements, and I am forming a worrying picture. —Michael Z. 2008-12-09 21:11 z

 * As you may have noticed with the script templates, people love to complain about trivial details. Having the ability to customise things that people love to argue about prevents such arguments. While I'd be happy to hide all the really trivial ones in a [show] box, it'd cause more political hassle than it should to remove them completely. Conrad.Irwin 21:21, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Sure, let's call it “Advanced preferences”.

 * But I am also really concerned about the pervasive baggage that some of these checkboxes are wired up to. (see Grease pit).

 * And I understand the need to avoid arguments and to compromise. But if the project is unable say “no” to someone who absolutely needs to be able to change their brackets from roman to italic and back, then what will it look like in a year, or in ten? —Michael Z. 2008-12-10 01:43 z

Proposal to migrate into a user scripts library
It looks like at this point most of the well-vetted scripts have been migrated into Gadgets, so the system here is basically redundant. In addition, it adds JS overhead to every page load regardless of whether a person is using it or not. I would like to propose that this page be migrated into a directory of user scripts that people can install in their user script files (similar to w:Wikipedia:WikiProject_User_scripts/Scripts). That way all of the scripts are still available, but there won't be two different systems for using them automatically. Kaldari 00:04, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Layout
Woops, I had just started playing around with the layout, and I notice that I'm not the only one. Please see my in-progress draft: Wiktionary_Preferences. —Michael Z. 2008-12-09 04:43 z

I realize that this can't be accomplished without revising the current page-drawing mechanism.

I suggest that the “Save settings” link at the top be changed to a submit button at the bottom, which also refreshes the page after it updates the cookie. This will let the user feel like they're actually changing something, and give instant feedback by changing the page (e.g., adding the IRC link which they expected to have activated). —Michael Z. 2008-12-09 04:46 z

 * Sounds good. —Ruakh TALK 19:42, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Controls don't work
The following don't work at all in my Safari 3.2.1/Mac and Firefox 3.0.4/Mac:

 * Put the [show] button onto the left of the translation bars
 * Hide the horizontal separator between each language section

Since no one is complaining, why not just remove them? —Michael Z. 2008-12-09 19:02 z

Labels
I believe that text labels can be added by changing the line in User:Connel_MacKenzie/custom.js

var text = document.createTextNode( speedTip );

to the following:

var text = document.createTextNode( "label" ); text.setAttribute( 'for', cookieToToggle ); text.appendChild( document.createTextNode( speedTip ));

This would let users click the entire labelled control to toggle. Not tested yet. —Michael Z. 2008-12-10 19:53 z

 * The concept sounds good. I haven't tested either, but I imagine you'd also need a line like

checkbox.id = cookieToToggle;

 * (since it's <label for="element_id">, not <label for="element_name">). And if we want to be paranoid about avoiding duplicate ids, we might want to prepend "wiktpref_" or something (though it's probably fine even without that).
 * —Ruakh TALK 21:20, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Every name attribute already starts with “Wikt...” (including WiktPref..., Wiktionary..., and WiktionaryPreferences...). I believe the IDs should match the names.

 * The only similar ID I have found is Wiktionaries_in_other_languages, used on the main page. —Michael Z. 2008-12-11 17:42 z

 * Then if there's no objection, I'll add the IDs and labels to the code. Is there a page where our IDs and classes are documented, to prevent conflicts? —Michael Z. 2008-12-17 15:49 z

 * Re: "Is there a page where our IDs and classes are documented, to prevent conflicts?": Yup. It's linked to from our JS&CSS coding guidelines and best practices page, as well as from our comprehensive, up-to-date list of policies.  Which is to say: no, but feel free to start one. —Ruakh TALK 03:35, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Edit link
The first line says, "On this page, you can set your browser-specific English Wiktionary preferences", followed by an edit-link to User:Connel MacKenzie/custom.js, which normal users cannot edit. This is, well, confusing to say the least. I would suggest that the link to edit the latter page either be removed from this page entirely or placed somewhere less obvious to normal users (like at the bottom, following a brief explanation of what the link is for). - dcljr 22:44, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

What a sad page
If you don't have JavaScript turned on, you get nothing. You don't even get told you need it.

Also, use the tag so we can click them like proper system checkboxes instead of having to poke at the squares. 89.100.67.231 02:25, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with the anonymous... The warning is not shown when I disable javascript, and the label would help a lot! Helder 19:16, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks! I've fixed both issues. (Note: for the <label>s to work, you'll have to either visit <http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AHippietrail%2Fcustom.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s> and click "refresh", or else wait up to a month for all the relevant caches to clear.) —Ruakh TALK 16:53, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

 * It's still pretty horrible that code. It was originally made by Connel Mackenzie who did lots of useful things but in very hacky ways. Conrad Irwin and myself (Hippietrail) have worked on it a little since then but there's still lots of legacy hack. It should be moved out of my space into MediaWiki: or Wiktionary: now that I haven't been actively working on it for some time. — hippietrail 02:25, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Bug
The "Change the bullets in unordered lists to be round." pref and any prefs added to the end don't seem to be able to save properly. --Yair rand (talk) 06:07, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed a bit ago. --Bequw → τ 05:27, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Rename
Would anyone object to renaming this page something like WT:Browser-specific preferences so as to avoid the Wiktionary:Preferences / Special:Preferences confusion? --Bequw → τ 05:29, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * renaming may be wise, for the reason stated, but "browser-specific preferences" sounds to me more as though they will only work in certain browsers than as though they will only work in the browser in which they were set. (The former is true, too, but is not what's meant, I don't think.) "Wiktionary:Preferences (stored in your Web browser)" is clearer but highly unwieldy. —msh210℠ (talk) 15:04, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Maybe Cookie-based preferences? —Ruakh TALK 15:15, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds good for users who know what the tech term means. I worry that many non-techy users have heard of cookies, don't (or perhaps even do) know what they are, and have very negative associations with them ("this is a way for the Web site to track what I'm doing!") that may prevent them from using a page titled that way. But perhaps people who might use it if less scarily-titled are of the sort to know not to be scared by such a title. —msh210℠ (talk) 16:25, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, we could take a page from the relevant RFCs: HTTP-state-management-mechanism-based preferences. ;-)  —Ruakh TALK 17:17, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

 * What about Per-browser preferences? --Bequw → τ 20:18, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Good IMO. Though "HTTP-state-management-mechanism-based preferences" has a nicer ring to it.... —msh210℠ (talk) 20:37, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

 * By the way, the current texts atop the page describe this as "your browser-specific  preferences". If we rename the page to use "per-browser" or something else, then we should probably change those texts similarly. (Of course, the page-text can be longer and have more explanation than the page-title.) —Ruakh TALK 14:39, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Renamed. What's wrong with the current text? Do you have a problem with the or that the title says "per-browser" and the text says "browser-specific"? --Bequw → τ 20:29, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Template:q
Has been deleted. So that line has to be removed. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:04, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Alternative
Shouldn't most users technically be able to replace PREFS functionality with Greasemonkey scripts? I'm not sure of exactly how to translate a script referenced here to the Greasemonkey paradigm, but Greasemonkey scripts can be installed for FF, Chrome, Safari, IE, and Opera browsers. Only mobile browsers and people with locked down machines should be unable to do this. --Bequw → τ 13:38, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Broken in March 2014?
I don't believe I've changed any browser settings for months or years but this page now comes up blank for me.

I came here because cirwin's automated translation adder has also not been working for me for a couple of days. — hippietrail (talk) 06:20, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

 * I don’t know why that would be. I’m using the latest Firefox and I see everything fine. Try logging out and see if you see it. —Stephen (Talk) 06:28, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

 * I'm on the latest Google Chrome on 32-bit Windows 7 Starter. Logging out and in didn't change it. Turning on the debug console results in this error:
 * <tt>Uncaught Error: Unknown dependency: ext.vector.collapsibleNav</tt>
 * — hippietrail (talk) 14:40, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Aha but staying logged out does fix it. I'm guessing some change interacted with what was already in my personal JS since I haven't changed that stuff in at least one year. — hippietrail (talk) 14:43, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

BCE/CE to BC/AD Setting Not Behaving Correctly
I just decided to try out the BCE/CE to BC/AD setting, but it appears to not be working properly. On the page I was reading it changed C.E. to BC, which is obviously incorrect: 600 C.E. should become AD 600 (or simply 600). This is very disappointing, as I was looking forward to not having to deal with the unfamiliar notation.

(I am using the latest version of Firefox if that's relevant, though I suspect it's simply a bug with whatever script implements the setting.)

Talk:che sarà, sarà

Could someone please Move / Redirect this page to "che sarà, sarà" (with comma)? Thanks! --Enboifre 13:06, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Quello che sara, sara = "That which will be, will be" == now there's a real catchy line for a song.

"However, it seems more likely that Marlowe was quoting from the Latin, as is consistent with other quotations in the play." - "che sarà, sarà" isn't even remotely Latin. unsigned comment by User:134.3.73.135 19:25, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

 * You should read it again. Nowhere does it say that "che sarà, sarà" is Latin. —Stephen (Talk) 20:00, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * True, but "Che sera, sera" isn't Latin, either. Chuck Entz (talk) 00:26, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * No one said it was. The Latin phrase that influenced him was not explicitly stated...probably quod erit, erit. Marlowe wrote the play 400 years ago. Scholars in those days usually knew Latin. —Stephen (Talk) 01:54, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, "quoting from the Latin" rather strongly implies that the phrase uttered is, in fact, Latin. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:25, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

The expression "toodeloo" has a modern provenance. Historians and etymologists have not seriously researched that one.

What do you think ? Philip Bertrand

It's from the German Tüdelü, meaning "see you soon."
