Wiktionary talk:Parsing

Hi,

I see that this page was last edited in 2008. Is there any progress here, especially in creating an API? I see that there is a generic MediaWiki API at http://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php, but it doesn't have anything Wiktionary specific, like a call fetching the synonyms or the etymology of a word. There seem to be some ideas in http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:Conrad.Irwin/How_about_an_API with proposals of how to do it (though I don't understand all of it due to unfamiliarity with the workings templates and such).

Regards, Sundar

Perhaps making it a section of Wiktionary:Parsing would help. --Rishabhbhat (talk) 11:07, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Delete this and all of the pseudo-subpages of Wiktionary:Parsing. They're little more than someone's observations and opinions from 2008. This, that and the other (talk) 04:02, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

@This, that and the other: Wiktionary:Parsing:Translations contains some actual content though. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 23:17, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

That is WELL out of date. It doesn't even acknowledge the existence of {{t}}. But let's hear from @Hippietrail, who has very excitingly rejoined us! This, that and the other (talk) 02:13, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Pinging @Hippietrail as the creator. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 23:17, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm not opposed to deleting if nobody is using it and nobody wants to update it. I often think about taking another crack at parsing Wiktionary but haven't really worked on it properly for ages. If other people are though and do want to replace or update my ancient notes then that's probably a good thing. But I'm not attached to my old stuff. — hippietrail (talk) 06:10, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

• Could we use something like "Request for update" ({{RfU}}) for pages like Wiktionary:Parsing (but not talk, not mainspace; not user pages, etc). If something doesn't get updated within a year (or more?) after being brought to our attention, that would be good evidence in support of deletion. DCDuring (talk) 16:32, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

  In this case, only Wiktionary:Parsing would seem possibly worth the application of a template like {{RfU}}. It would serve to extend our usual minimum period until deletion after posting an RfD. DCDuring (talk) 16:36, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

RFD-merged to WT:Parsing for historical purposes. This, that and the other (talk) 05:34, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

For future readers, I've written Python scripts to parse Wiktionary database dumps. — excarnateSojourner (talk · contrib) 18:48, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
