Missing plurals
I wanted to add something to find missing plurals, which looks a little like this, but I couldn't make it work. if plural and not mw.title.new(plural).exists then table.insert(categories, "English nouns with missing plurals") end if plural2 and not mw.title.new(plural2).exists then table.insert(categories, "English nouns with missing plurals") end


 * Be careful: this is a costly operation (doubly so, because it checks the existence of 2 pages), and the result ignores articles that exist without an entry for the English plural (e.g. pis, plural of pi). — Dakdada 13:09, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

For adverbs, change this module to automatically categorize entry as being spelled with "-ly" or not
This is beyond my level of Wiktionary expertise, but I would love to see the following two categories automatically populated:

(exists) (does not exist yet)

Verbs with defective paradigms
Verbs like shall and can should show an empty slot in the headword line when  is supplied, rather than linking to -. If someone wants to fix this, go ahead, otherwise I might. — Eru·tuon 05:28, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Long words
Change “> 25” to “>= 25” (line 89; Category:Long English words: “25 letters long or more”). J3133 (talk) 07:05, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

f=/m= parameters for nouns
Can these be added? That way we can use this template in actor and actress as well. Fytcha (talk) 20:10, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * No. English does not have grammatical gender. DTLHS (talk) 21:53, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Grammatical gender is irrelevant. Refer to the example above. Fytcha (talk) 16:23, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
