Headers that are possibly valid[edit]

I'll move headers that are arguably valid, like rare but real parts of speech (which aren't obviously subsumed by some other part of speech the way "adjectival suffix" is by "suffix"), here. Unlike the other rare headers which are typos or misunderstandings of formatting, these should probably be discussed before any deprecation.

RFC discussion: May 2018–July 2021[edit]

The following discussion has been moved from Wiktionary:Requests for cleanup (permalink).

This discussion is no longer live and is left here as an archive. Please do not modify this conversation, but feel free to discuss its conclusions.


Based on some feedback we got via OTRS, I ran a report on the 4/20 dump to find headers (L3+) which occur twenty times or fewer in NS:0. If you would like to help clean up the many typos, feel free to knock some off of the list. Mostly the pages link to the section with the offending header, but sometimes things get weird. Just delete sections if you clear them all out so others don't try and duplicate the effort. I will run this again for each of the next several dumps with higher thresholds until things seem relatively clean. If you have any feedback on ways to make this easier to use, let me know. - TheDaveRoss 17:41, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

This is useful; thanks for putting it together. - -sche (discuss) 19:13, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
I'll be subdividing it in a more reasonable way next time! - TheDaveRoss 19:31, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Gosh, amatuer lexicographers totally suck at spelling. --Cien pies 6 (talk) 22:06, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Could be better if anybody could edit it. After diff and diff, I thought of removing "Declension (Early)" and "Declension (Late)", but that didn't work. If the edit would be unwanted, it could easily be undone; but if wanted, it might be helpful... -84.161.20.186 22:09, 6 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
All are welcome to edit, is there something in particular you found you were unable to do? - TheDaveRoss 12:27, 7 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
