@LibCae: Hi. Something is broken and the template is not working at the moment. I see empty cells where Cyrillic and Mongolian spellings are expected. Also calling @Erutuon, Benwing2 for help. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 11:30, 2 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Atitarev Can you give me an example? It appears working on монгол for example. Benwing2 (talk) 19:58, 2 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Benwing2, LibCae: I have just fixed at компьютер (kompʹjüter). There are incorrect template calls with old or wrong named parameters |m= and |c=. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 20:16, 2 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Atitarev, LibCae What should they be renamed to? I can fix this but I'm not sure what to do about |1= and |2=; should |m= be copied to both? Benwing2 (talk) 01:46, 3 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Here is the list of all templates using |m= or |c=:

@Benwing2, LibCae, Crom daba: I’m not aware of differences in the traditional Mongolian writing between Mongolia and China, so I’m not sure why the two parameters for traditional Mongolian should exist. Inner Mongolian standard is also used in Outer Mongolia when they write in the traditional script. The pronunciations and transliterations often mismatch, there could be different etymologies as well. Cf. софа (sofa) from Russian and ᠱᠠᠹᠠ (šafa) from Chinese. Bolor toli dictionary just provides one Mongolian script version if it exists. In my opinion, there should be two parameters - Cyrillic and Mongolian. If param 1 is copied to param 2, it will work in the interim. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 02:14, 3 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Atitarev, LibCae, Crom daba OK, I am running a conversion script now. If doing this is wrong, we have the list of affected terms above. Benwing2 (talk) 02:42, 3 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
