Broken
, this module is unfortunately broken now. lect is intended to be filled out as parent_family_code, so xme should be returning Badrudi (xme-bdr), but is instead returning (bdr). --  01:51, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It’s probably worth updating it to ditch having to enter two codes. It’s now possible to obtain the family code from the etym-only language directly. Theknightwho (talk) 02:16, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hang on - I’ve just had a look at the code, and I’m afraid using that model is fundamentally flawed: not every etym-only language follows that format, and even the ones that do don’t necessarily use the parent family for the first part. I also don’t really understand what the advantage of doing it this way is in the first place, either - why not just have one parameter list? Theknightwho (talk) 02:25, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The purpose of the module is so you can write out long strings dialects, like xme, with the added benefit of not having to include a prefix for each. Each first queried for, then if not found, searched for that code alone. --  02:31, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Victar It's a seriously bad idea to subdivide language codes like that, because it creates the possibility of ambiguity if  and   are both in the same family. It's also unintuitive, because no other templates work this way. Just include the prefixes... Theknightwho (talk) 22:20, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Like, OMG, so seriously bad. Thanks for letting me know. -- 06:31, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Victar No-one cares, Victar. You're impossible to argue with, so most of us have stopped bothering. Theknightwho (talk) 06:33, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * LMFAO, catch you at your next desysop vote. -- 16:22, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Feel free to nominate me, if you like. Theknightwho (talk) 16:24, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Victar There is no consensus for you making this change, and it goes against the principles of how language codes work on Wiktionary. This is not a helpful approach. I will lock the page if you reinstate this again. Theknightwho (talk) 16:38, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
