I don't like this template, Wonderfool. Why would anyone want to generally request more translations? Either you have a specific translation request, for which Wiktionary:Translation requests can be used, or the word should be nominated for ToW. Ncik 19:14, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's true, it is a bit crappy. I put it up as a part-time solution to keep track of words that maybe could go into WT:TOW. But could we keep it there for a bit longer, until we've sorted out what to do with our 2 projects (there will inevitably be some kind of merge between the two projects due to their common ground). --Wonderfool 19:23, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Having a template to nominate articles for ToW is maybe an acceptable idea, although I like your approach of adding their talk page to a category better, since I think disfiguring pages with templates should only be allowed in grave situations (i.e. when containing suspicious content or being in an entirely insatisfactory state: rfd, rfv, rfc).

Wonderfool made this template years ago. Doesn't seem to be used much. Maybe there's a better template around...--Zo3rWer (talk) 12:13, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This template is unused and t-needed should be used instead if someone wants a translation for a specific language. Matthias Buchmeier (talk) 18:03, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect {{treq}} to {{t-needed}}, and eventually move {{t-needed}} to {{treq}} because 4 keystrokes are fewer than 8. DCDuring TALK 20:00, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It won't work as they don't work the same way. {{treq}} doesn't take a language, and {{t-needed}} requires one. If you're only proposing this for the name change then please, just propose the name change on its own. Renard Migrant (talk) 12:30, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Though @DCDuring if your aim is to break Wiktionary pages, I say you're doing the right thing. Renard Migrant (talk) 15:16, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I just want the end result to be fewer keystrokes. {{t-req}} would be a name consistent with our current naming practices. Now, if we could just get some contributors who will fulfill some of those requests.... DCDuring TALK 17:02, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well we can't redirect while it's still being used as they're not compatible, so we delete first and rename later. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:23, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Deprecate but keep. Use AbuseFilter to deprecate it on the technical level by preventing saving pages that contain the template if possible or explain why it is not possible. Point: make page histories legible. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:02, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
