Hi there! Thought I'd explain why I reverted you on cuniclus. You're right, it's cited, so it deserves to stay in the main space... eventually.

The issue is that Brutal Russian created the page by copy pasting data found on another page: Reconstruction:Latin/cuniclus. But if the latter (which, as you can see, is very much the product of a collective effort) was simply deleted, its history would be lost, and it would look like Brutal Russian collected the data all by himself.

So, the way to go now is to delete cuniclus, move Reconstruction:Latin/cuniclus, then add your cites in that entry (although you probably can already add them right now, in fact). See Wiktionary:Requests for moves, mergers and splits § *cuniclus. 2A02:2788:A4:205:9587:CF85:4CF2:9DA4 11:14, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Your work on Middle English

It's awesome that you're working on moving Middle English quotes to Middle English entries. However, I've had to go through all your edits because of the mistakes that you've made. Can you do the two following things so I don't have to go through all your edits again?

1. Make sure the Middle English word that you're adding doesn't already exist. If it does, use {{alt form|enm|<existing entry>}}.
2. Don't delete senses or spellings that survive into the Modern English period. Even if the sense/spelling only has a Middle English quote, it may have survived into Modern English. The following resources are useful:
   1. EEBO TCP is a good resource for checking whether a certain spelling survives into Modern English.
   2. The first edition of the OED is a good resource for checking whether a certain sense survives into Modern English. The documentation for this template has a handy set of links to the different volumes.
