Wiktionary talk:Todo/Mismatched POS - English

Procedure

After fixing one of the entries linked to from this list, is it better to <strike> it or remove it? Haplogy (話) 02:51, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Whichever you prefer. I suppose simply removing finished entries would make it easiest to see what was left to do. I only struck and left defeatured because it had bigger problems than just a POS mismatch between the header and the template (namely, the POS that the citations supported was different from both the header and the template). It can be removed, though. - -sche (discuss) 05:03, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Numbers?

What is the significance of the numeric sections? SemperBlotto (talk) 08:15, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

That's how AutoWikiBrowser (which I used to make the list) outputs it. It makes the page easier to edit: the Mediawiki software can often resolve/avoid edit conflicts when people are editing different sections at the same time, whereas editing an unsectioned page would result in edit conflicts. - -sche (discuss) 08:29, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
