Technical

[edit]
  1. Fix the disappearance of spaces in Pinyin after erhua or toneless-ification in {{zh-pron}}.
  2. {{zh-pron}} argument and layout redesign - e.g. |m=xiǎoháiR, |m=lìdù_, |m=Ōu-^亞, |mn=qz:ge̍rh{白}/qz:goa̍t{文}, Quanzhou: ge̍rh /ɡəʔ²⁴/ {}, goa̍t /ɡuat̚²⁴/ {}.
  3. Add phonetic bopomofo, e.g. "ㄑㄧㄥˊ ㄅㄨˋ ㄗˋ ㄐㄧㄣ [Phonetic: ㄑㄧㄥˊ ㄅㄨˊ ㄗˋ ㄐㄧㄣ]" for 情不自禁.
  4. Redesign modules for dialectal pronunciation table for single-character entries, e.g. more flexible entry of pronunciations, no display of location if there is no pronunciation for that location, incorporation of Module:zh/data/dial.
  5. Entry header level check, best if automatic whenever there is a ==Chinese== section. Headers should have defined relative levels.
  6. List Cantonese characters with only one pronunciation, and generate a list of compound pronunciations for entries making use of these characters which are currently pronunciation-less. Batch upload after review. Make {{zh-new}} automatically add the Cantonese pronunciation if it is entirely predictable.
  7. See points #9, 10 in #Entry maintenance above.
  8. Rewrite Wiktionary:About Chinese/references in Lua, allowing one to locate the (highlighted) specific reference after the click.
  9. Error check functions in Module:zh-pron and its submodules, detecting errors such as: (1) incorrect diacritic placement in Pinyin; (2) invalid Jyutping syllables; (3) space before and after the parameter names (e.g. | m = xxx); etc.
  10. General display improvement, more dynamic features (e.g. hover), more JavaScript usage, etc.
  11. Think about a general JSON-like structure of term data storage and incorporate ID's for senses, instead of the currently ad-hoc extraction of glosses by {{zh-forms}}.
  12. Centralise all usage examples and quotations in a backend database and assign each word in the example to a sense in the entry. Make the database queryable. Automatically display examples and quotes on the entry.
  13. Synonyms, Antonyms, See-also terms and Dial-syn display format redesign, with terms placed directly underneath senses with an improved layout, perhaps with drop-downs similar to quotations ▼.
  14. IPA for the sub-dialects of Teochew: Bangkok, Cambodia, Chaoyang (潮陽), Chaozhou (潮州), Chenghai (澄海), Huilai (惠來), Jieyang (揭陽), Kalimantan, Nan'ao County (南澳), Puning (普寧), Raoping (饒平), Shantou (汕頭).
  15. Support for more sub-dialects of the Southern group of Eastern Min: Fuqing dialect, Gutian dialect.
  16. Support for more Northern Wu lects (with use of Wugniu): Suzhounese, Ningbonese, Hangzhounese?
  17. Support for more lects, including:
    Dialects with known transliteration systems
    Dialects without known transliteration systems
  18. Linking {{zh-see}} to relevant etymology/pronunciation sections instead of default Chinese section (when required). See Talk:攰 for more.
  19. Automatic pinyin transliteration of compounds with different pronunciations in mainland China and Taiwan based on Module:zh/data/cmn-tag. See Talk:擁 for more.
  20. Inclusion of compound words from 《兩岸萌典》 when {{subst:zh-new/der}} is invoked. The current output from 《萌典》 contains a significant number of classical Chinese compounds and lacks certain terms commonly used in vernacular speech. Compare 崗(兩岸萌典) and 崗(萌典)
    1. See this revision for an example.
  21. Done Done Adding Tongyong Pinyin to zh-pron (First attempt [1])
  22. Support for Old National Pronunciation.
  23. Existing simplified forms that are not using newly-encoded characters (example: 牛犅萤牛𰠫萤).
