Apparently this template edited the header of pages like |}}, but that is the job of MediaWiki:Common.js now. It was replaced by a simple {{DEFAULTSORT}}, as of diff. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 18:05, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think this should be reversed. We should rely on JavaScript as little as possible. If it doesn't have to be in JS, it shouldn't be. —CodeCat 18:13, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I tentatively agree. Javascript is a whole nother can of worms to learn and the MediaWiki extensions don't appear to be well-documented, unlike for Lua. Benwing2 (talk) 22:23, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Also, the duplication in the title map and reverse title map is bogus; one should be derived from the other. Benwing2 (talk) 22:23, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It does seem to exist purely for the sake of documentation (you need to go back in its history to msh210's edits to see it), as DEFAULTSORT is a magic word, not a template (like PAGENAME) and magic words don't have documentation subpages. Renard Migrant (talk) 22:52, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


No longer necessary, as its job is all automatically handled by the headword template. Theknightwho (talk) 16:20, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
