- Google Groups new infinite scrolling system is irritating, but I've found one definite use, from January 23 2013! " Il y a des gens qui suivent le mot-dièse Ruyer ?" (there are people following the hashtag Ruyer?) in the Usenet group fr.soc.religion. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:18, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
- I glanced at Usenet cites yesterday, but gave up quickly, since I couldn't distinguish uses from mentions (not knowing French). That said, there was at least one from 2011.—msh210℠ (talk) 16:50, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

- Sorry if I come late on this, but this entry should not have been deleted in my opinion. Mot-dièse is the official translation of hashtag (ref JORF n°0019 du 23 janvier 2013 page 1515). It means this is what the government recommends to use. Even if that recommendation is not followed by anyone, the sole reason of being official should be enough for this word to appear in any dictionary, including this one.
- You'll hardly find uses of this word on Usenet, except in humorous contexts. But it appears on official sites: google:site:gouv.fr "mot dièse" returns "Quand des classes s'emparent du mot-dièse #EcoleNumerique", "Commentez, partagez, (...) avec le mot-dièse #macoloamoi sur Twitter et Facebook", "Retrouvez toute l'actualité du numérique à l'École : actualités, vidéos, infographies, flux RSS et mot dièse [sic] dédiés, etc." — Xavier, 20:48, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
- We follow usage, not prescription, so it being an official word means nothing. If you can find three independent instances of the word being used (as opposed to being mentioned) in Usenet or other durable media spanning at least a year I will gladly undelete this. — Ungoliant (Falai) 21:06, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
- The three instances have been quoted above (you should not consider gouv.fr as one site but, anyway, I can easily find other uses elsewhere). The problem is the one-year timespan. The term having been coined in January 2013, I guess we will have to wait another six months. — Xavier, 21:42, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Use of this word in France[edit]
Hi, french guy talking here. In my opinion, we should not indicate «rare» or «more commonly used» without precise numbers and references. For example, from my everyday life I would definitely say that «mot-dièse» is not rare, although less used than «hashtag». But it's my individual perception, not sure if it's true nation-wide. 2001:861:42C0:DF30:C494:FDDA:D5EB:C7BB 10:43, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
