Template talk:R:Macmillan

This template is suboptimal: it doesn't work for terms separated by a space. At, it looks for "just+so", which returns no result, but there's most definitely a Macmillan entry. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 14:53, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Edit: it does work, but you have to replace spaces by hyphens: . It's still suboptimal. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 15:00, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The version I restored (now 05:49, 2 June 2019‎‎) works in just so just fine; it is because it has code to replace spaces with dash. I oppose Sgconlaw-ization of the template. The rendering
 * “word” (US) / “word” (UK) in Macmillan Dictionary

Macmillan Online
Macmillan English dictionary has been sunset, so this template should probably get the same treatment as Template:R:Lexico (redirect to Archive.org, update the documentation, etc). lattermint (talk) 13:50, 16 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I have redirected the URLs to Internet Archive. Will look at updating the documentation later. — Sgconlaw (talk) 14:29, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
