English

• use {{trans-see}} whenever possible. redundancy is a huge problem here.
• proper use of the transitive and intransitive tags in verb phrases. "show one's ass" is not transitive itself; "show" is.
• generalise use of links to Wiktionary:Wikisaurus in entries, instead of lists of synonyms.
• clean up Category:en:Linguistics, Category:en:Phonetics, Category:en:Phonology, Category:en:Linguistic morphology. create Category:en:Syntax?

General

• remove the lead text from {{calque}} and {{semantic loan}} > Vote
• rename {{borrowed}}, {{derived}} and {{inherited}} to {{borrowing}}, {{derivation}} and {{inheritance}}, to align it with other templates names
• propose that the header alternative forms be moved below; far too conspicuous right now. etymology and pronunciation as well? POS and definitions are probably the most important (i.e. sought after) pieces of information.
• use links to Wikipedia in Appendix:Glossary
• when discussion about a specific word/template/category in the Wiktionary:Tea room, Wiktionary:Beer parlour or Wiktionary:Etymology scriptorium, post it in the discussion page of the entry.
• deprecate {{term}}
• deprecate {{etyl}}
• remove the "idiomatic" tag, which doesn't serve any real purpose

• {{homophonic translation}}?
• populate Category:Homophonic translations by language
• {{conversion}}? {{zero derivation}}? use -∅ for the w:null morpheme?
• create Category:Conversions by language. It should replace Category:English homographic denominal verbs
• what the difference between a back-formation and a disfixation? What are deverbals? maintien from maintenir
• {{disfix}}?
• What can we do with {{transfix}}?
• reorganise the categorisation of compounds: cf. Module talk:category tree/poscatboiler/data/terms by etymology
  • CAT:Verb–noun compounds by language > subcat CAT:Verb–noun compound nouns by language?
  • CAT:English noun-noun compound nouns > CAT:English noun–noun compound nouns?
  • These two have to be integrated in a common scheme.
• find a way to distinguish between derivations/borrowings/inheritances from Ancient Greek/Latin words, and modern coinages from Ancient Greek/Latin roots, which didn't exist in these languages
• Category:Hybrid compound words by language (or Category:Bastard compound words by language)?
• Category:Neo-classical compound words by language
• {{lemming test}} on the model of {{wotd-nominee}}?
• improve Module:headword for it to be able to parse hyphens and apostrophes
• improve {{fr-adj}} (and other headword templates): for words such as haut en couleur, instruct it to only inflect haut

Ideas which I'm thoroughly incapable of implementing myself

• enable some new "Preferences"
  • favorite order of grammatical cases in declension tables
  • favorite ordering of senses: chronological/etymological (obsolete senses first), or practical (most common senses first)
  • two versions of each entry: a linguistic one (etymology header first; uses of labels such as (ergative), etc.); a simpler one, oriented towards language learners. But they have to depend from each other; data for the simpler one automatically extracted from the linguistic?
• allow simultaneous output of transcription and transliteration
• be able to invoke individual Swadesh lists in comparative pages (Swadesh lists for families)
• is there a way to "cross" categories between them easily? How much are subcats needed?

Done

• -ans, -ens, -iens to -ns
• this revision
• find all lemmas that don't use {{grc-IPA}} yet; these are often old entries. See also: Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:tracking/IPA/grc
• The same principle applies to the predecessors of {{grc-decl}}. There will surely be regressions and mistakes, but {{grc-decl}} is the only wieldy template, and the only long-term solution.
• There are 0 transclusions of {{grc-ipa-rows}}. It's a very unwieldy template. Let's convert all the instances to {{grc-IPA}}, and then we can work on the latter's output, inconsistencies, etc.

I guess the module is cleverer than I am actually: it made me realise that I can create CAT:English pseudo-anglicisms without having a module error, which obviously doesn't make sense. I should probably have the same system that prevents us from creating cats like CAT:English terms calqued from English (edit: wait, I could actually create that category...). pseudo-gallicisms, pseudo-foreignisms?

Ideas

• Add a parameter |type= to {{affix}} or {{compound}} for the categorisation
• rename {{temp}} to {{template}}
• {{param}} and {{para}}?
• make a list of participial adjectives in Modern Greek. actually, no: this will already be covered by some declension template
• add a parameter to {{bor}}: |type=: specify it's a semantic loan (|type=sl), a calque (|type=clq), a learned borrowing, etc. Not necessarily a good idea, just an idea
• make {{desctree}} collapsible. When to use it, when to use {{see desc}}?
• a cleanup script to convert {{suffix}} to {{affix}}
• for local search engines, copy {{ws header}}
• create {{unadapted borrowing}}: see Appendix talk:French doublets § Latinisms
• create Category:Negative polarity items by language.
• overarching category for Category:Unadapted borrowings from Latin, Category:Unadapted borrowings from Russian, etc., and Category:Unadapted borrowings by language? Category:Unadapted borrowings?
