Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Full etymologies/reply (3)

(Late to the game, but there you have it...)

I dimly recall some time back discussing the possibility of selectively transcluding etymologies, since these all build on one another. Japanese comes from English  comes from Middle English comes from Old English comes from Proto-Germanic etc. etc. It'd be handy if we could create some sort of chaining mechanism, but ultimately, I don't think the Wiki software is robust enough for that, and our template "coding" language, as it were, frankly sucks donkey balls (apologies for the rudeness). If/when we ever get Lua, that might change, but I've long since stopped holding my breath. :-| -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 06:55, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
