Language variety qualifiers
I think the labels in, , , and ought to be centralized, as I have said in the beer parlour.

The difference between and  and the others is that these two are used in headword lines and definitions, and they often add categories, while the others do not. But and  contain some of the same content: in particular when they refer to language varieties. They could use the subvariety labels module (Module:labels/data/subvarieties) to generate a link to a relevant Wikipedia article, but just not add categories.

This would, however, require that language codes be added to, to verify that the language of the entry is the correct one: for instance, that you don't add an "Australian English" qualifier to a German entry. At the moment, most instances of don't contain a language parameter, so this entails a lot of work. But I imagine that, to transition to using a labels module, we could just require that the language parameter be added if someone wants to use the labels module; otherwise, the qualifier will be displayed as plain text. — Eru·tuon 02:02, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

AWB cleanup
, could I entreat you to make an AWB run to clear out Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:tracking/gloss/lang and Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:tracking/non-gloss/lang? — JohnC5 05:04, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, I started but it will take some time (especially for n-g, > 1000 entries). Maybe a bot could help to speed it up. – Jberkel (talk) 09:28, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * , would you be willing to configure NadandoBot to help with this? — Eru·tuon 09:32, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Done, except for some transclusions. DTLHS (talk) 17:13, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Or alternatively a bot flag for AWB, so it can be run in an automated fashion. – Jberkel (talk) 10:10, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
