reuse ? --Moala 16:24, 5 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I am dismayed that you didn't notice that reuse appeared under "Derived terms" of both the Noun and Verb. We have tried to save space by "hiding" them under a "show/hide" bar. When you click on "show" the hidden material appears. I have feared that the operation of these bars was not obvious to all. Your experience is not unique and reminds me that we may need something more like standard Web practice than this bar. DCDuring TALK 18:49, 5 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but "reuse" was added in this article after my comment (16:30, 5 February 2009) : http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=use&diff=next&oldid=6028677 . Your remark may nevertheless be pertinent, you cannot full text search unless you click on every "show" link... --Moala 00:30, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * You can change your preferences at WT:PREFS. One is to leave translation tables expanded. This way, your search would find anything that is on the page without having to "show" anything. —Stephen 13:08, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
