Template:derivcatboiler

What are you trying to achieve with your edits? A lot of your attempts are breaking things. —CodeCat 00:27, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't account for the Lua module the first time because I wasn't aware of it. On the second attempt I read up on some of the Lua documentation and managed to put in the category. My purpose was to put all "Category:Terms derived from X" from Special:UncategorizedCategories into Category:Terms derived from specific languages or something similar. Did I break any particular pages on the second attempt? TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 00:31, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

These templates are very intricate. There is a Lua replacement that's hopefully a bit more straightforward, but it's still being tested and isn't complete. I think what you want to edit is {{derivcatboiler/ROOT}} or {{derivcatboiler/OTHER}}. —CodeCat 00:47, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Now that I look more closely, I think something went wrong with the edits I made to the templates recently. The categories shouldn't be orphaned at all, they weren't originally. I'll see if I can fix it. —CodeCat 00:49, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Oh I see now, my second attempt partially nullified this edit of yours which introduced the catfix template and recategorized the ones lacking the first parameter. TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 00:54, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

I fixed the problem, hopefully. I will be happy when these templates don't exist anymore... —CodeCat 00:57, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

にっぽん

Hi there, it's the general practice, and one which I want to encourage as much as possible, only to put information about a term on its lemma entry, and the practice has been to use the kanji spellings of terms as their lemmata, so in this case the pronunciation of にっぽん should be at 日本 and only at that page. Kana entries should serve as soft redirects much like disambiguation pages on Wikipedia. The main reason is that duplicating information creates a maintenance nightmare. Thanks in advance.

Done though I left in the pronunciation for にほん because it also has a noun entry. Is that ok? TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 01:14, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks :) Once it's created I think the pronunciation section should be in 二本. I could be wrong but I think the emphasis is on に in 二本 and ほん in 日本, so once somebody adds information about stress they would be different pronunciations anyway. Haplogy (話) 01:30, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Re: tea

Yes. FVDP was originally released under GPL 2.0+ [1], but the author gave permission to Wiktionary to use it under the GFDL back when Wikimedia used GFDL, and a separate project, TraTu, later got permission to use it under CC BY-SA. However, the Vietnamese Wiktionary avoided importing the German↔Vietnamese dictionaries due to poor quality. We also omitted the entries that FVDP got from the VACETS project and user-contributed definitions that are present in some copies of FVDP, because we weren't sure about the copyright status of those sources. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 00:57, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Oh, now that I look into it, VACETS-DICT has a generous license that should be compatible with CC BY-SA. It only requires attribution. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 01:06, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Good idea. (I had used hundred as a model, hence the usage note.) – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 05:51, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
