Remember me?

[edit]

Hello Erutuon, I hope you are well. Do you remember months back we made edits on Module:User:Awesomemeeos/turkish? Well, I decided to go back there again and so I got a request for you. The sezer is a separate function from phonemic, which should be the primary function of the module.

Is it possible to integrate sezer into the phonemic function, and that it would be activated by a separate parameter, |pos=prop, such as {{#invoke:User:Awesomemeeos/turkish|phonemic|Vaşington|pos=prop}}? Also, if no |pos= is specified, can you write extra code that would automatically put the stress in the last syllable, as a starting point?

Many thanks in advance! — they call me AWESOMEmeeos ... [ˈɔɪ̯]! 11:22, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination for merging of Module:Table

[edit]

Module:Table has been nominated for merging with Module:TableTools. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the module's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Thank you. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 16:13, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Erutuon. As I'm sure you're aware, Wiktionary and Wikipedia use different names for different languages, so sometimes this module and templates using it can't link to the right language section. (e.g. kmt, cabra). Also, Wiktionary doesn't have all the same languages as Wikipedia (e.g. njeg, and languages at Module:languages/datax). Is there a way to add data to the module to make sure the links are correct?
Thanks, – Julia (talk) 02:12, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Julia: Yes, the module to add data to is Module:Language/data. To get the template to link to the right section, you just need to add a language data table to the "languages" table, indexed by the Wiktionary code, with its name field set to the Wiktionary language name. Hopefully that is enough information. — Eru·tuon 03:10, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I added a bunch of data and it seems to have fixed some problems. I'll add more when I come across other differences. – Julia (talk) 13:55, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Julia: Hmm, I should have explained that if a code is not used on Wiktionary, it should be in the redirects table, so that the data for the corresponding Wiktionary code doesn't have to be duplicated. (For instance, bs, cnr, hr, and sr all need to use the entry-name replacements assigned to sh.) So I moved some of the codes that you added, using a module to figure out what needed to be done. — Eru·tuon 23:03, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Welp. Thanks for telling me. I'll be sure to just add different names in the future. – Julia (talk) 00:17, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(That came across as super passive-aggressive; not my intention at all) One more question: is there a way to redirect depending on which script is used? Thinking of Chinese varieties– if written in Hanzi, redirect to "Chinese", if in Latin, Cyrillic, Xiao'erjing, etc., don't redirect. – Julia (talk) 00:38, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Julia: I suppose it could be done, because there is a script detection function in Module:Language/scripts. Basing it on script would work in some number of cases, but I found out that Cantonese words in Han script use Cantonese as the header as well as Chinese, which might complicate things. I don't know how {{wikt-lang}} is actually used and whether the issue will actually come up. (I searched incategory:"Cantonese lemmas" insource:/==Cantonese/ and incategory:"Cantonese lemmas" insource:/==Chinese/.) — Eru·tuon 09:00, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mtavruli

[edit]

Hello there. Your addition of the new Mtavruli Unicode characters to the Georgian scripts page seemed useful. I'm curious, is there a reason you undid yourself? DRMcCreedy (talk) 03:30, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmccreedy: I just wasn't sure how the Mtavruli characters should be arranged in the table and didn't want to spend time working that out. You can restore them if the arrangement looks fine to you. (I wish the table were generated by a module: that would make it easier to modify.) — Eru·tuon 03:42, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've verified each character is in the correct row and have restore your edits. Thanks. DRMcCreedy (talk) 15:56, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Error

[edit]

List of species described in 2016 is generating an {{error}} and populating Category:Articles using Template:IPNI with missing parameters. Can you fix it? It would probably take me more time to figure out the solution. Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 20:07, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Wbm1058: Done. It was using positional parameters, which haven't ever been supported. I guess before my recent edit adding the tracking category, it was not working but nobody noticed. — Eru·tuon 20:16, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:EFloras

[edit]

Hi, can you revisit your changes to {{EFloras}} as it appears to be putting "no volume" into a date parameter and causing cite date errors. Thanks. Keith D (talk) 00:53, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Keith D: Fixed. — Eru·tuon 01:18, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks for the quick response. Keith D (talk) 08:21, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Language categories

[edit]

Hello. When using the {{lang}} template as here please can you make sure that the appropriate Category:Articles containing XXX-language text categories exist and create them if not? Per WP:REDNOT you shouldn't make edits that add red-linked categories to articles. TIA Le Deluge (talk) 13:37, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Le Deluge: Sure. I thought maybe there was a bot that would handle it. — Eru·tuon 20:34, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ICNafp authorities

[edit]

I noticed that others have fixed your edits, but for information, we don't use dates with 'botanical' (ICNafp) authorities, only 'zoological' ones. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:16, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Peter coxhead: You mean years after taxonomic authorities in taxoboxes, like here? I don't remember ever adding those. But thanks for the information; I didn't know they were against policy. — Eru·tuon 19:28, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nasal vowels

[edit]

Hello Erutuon. In Parisian French, nasal vowels are really changed, the word "enfant" was pronounced [ɑ̃fɑ̃], but now it's pronounced [ɒ̃fɒ̃]. In Modern Quebec French, it's pronounced [ãfã], [ãfã] is similar to [ɑ̃fɑ̃], but it's not exactly the same vowel. 104.244.64.173 (talk) 21:38, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Labiodental [ɱ] in Italian

[edit]

Hello Erutuon. I've seen that you've edited Help:IPA/Italian in the past, so I thought you could help me to understand a thing. Note 5 says: "the n in /nɡ/~/nk/ is a velar [ŋ], and the one in /nf/~/nv/ is the labiodental [ɱ]". I was wondering why in the symbol list does appear ŋ but ɱ doesn't, but I've read in the same note: "but for simplicity, ⟨m⟩ is used here". Why such a distinguo is made here? In Italian a nasal always assimilates to the following consonant, so ŋ can be found just before k and g while ɱ can be found just before f and v. If it's for simplicity, then also ŋ should be transcribed as n (since, unlike in other languages, in Italian this sound can't be found elsewhere). But this makes the transcription less accurate. Then, why doesn't ɱ have its own place in the list? It's weird to me such a different treatment... Could you enlighten me about this issue, please? Viviocon (talk) 09:18, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
