Implementation[edit]
I have written a Python script to do this, but have not tested it yet.
Populate thesaurus entry categories[edit]
Description[edit]
Category:English thesaurus entries (and likely its siblings) severely under-represent the actual population of applicable thesaurus entries. These categories are supposed to be populated by {{ws header}}'s |lang= parameter. It seems that {{ws header}} is widely used (at least in English entries), but the optional |lang= parameter is often not used. I want to:
- Modify
{{ws header}}'s parameters.- Bump the existing
|1=(used to optionally specify an alternative term to display) down to|2=. - Create
|1=as an optional parameter to replace|lang=. This makes the template more consistent with other widely-used templates (such as{{m}},{{head}},{{IPA}}). This parameter's value should be a comma separated list of language codes. These should be used to add the entry to all corresponding thesaurus entry categories. - Deprecate
|lang=in favour of the new|1=.
- Bump the existing
- Fix thesaurus entries.
- For all entries in the Thesaurus namespace:
- If the entry contains
{{ws header}}and|lang=is specified:- Move the value of
|lang=to|1=.
- Move the value of
- Else if there is at least one L2 heading:
- Extract the languages from all the L2 headings, convert them to a language codes, and add them as
|1=.
- Extract the languages from all the L2 headings, convert them to a language codes, and add them as
- Else (there are no L2 headings):
- Maybe add the entry to a list for manual review.
- If the entry contains
- For all entries in the Thesaurus namespace:
- Make
{{ws header}}'s|1=required.

Categorize appendices[edit]
There are several blocks of similarly named appendix subpages listed at Wiktionary:Todo/Lists/Uncategorised pages (all namespaces) § Appendix that look bot-categorizable.
| Parent page | Proposed categories for subpages |
|---|---|
| Subpages of Appendix:Chinese radical | Category:Chinese appendices, Category:Japanese appendices, Category:Korean appendices, Category:Vietnamese appendices, Category:Han script appendices |
| Subpages of Appendix:Chinese total strokes | Category:Chinese appendices, Category:Japanese appendices, Category:Korean appendices, Category:Vietnamese appendices, Category:Han script appendices |
| Subpages of Appendix:Dictionary of Mining, Mineral, and Related Terms | Category:English appendices unless someone can find a more specific category |
| Subpages of Appendix:JLPT | Category:Japanese appendices, Category:Basic word lists by language |
