Thread:User talk:CodeCat/idea for ja-kanjitab

Hi, I wanted to ask you what you think about adding a feature to. There's been a long-standing disagreement over kanji readings, as you may know. In the past some editors created ===Kanji reading=== sections, such as at ねん, but no active editors have been maintaining them for several years. There are currently 116 entries in Category:Japanese_kanji_readings, and I don't know how many kanji readings exist, but I think it's more than 116. Eirikr proposed that the section and its template be deleted, but since then there hasn't been much activity. Would it be possible to add the kanji reading information to ja-kanjitab, and for that template to put the respective page in a category for that reading of that kanji? Something like this for 念力 (ねんりき, nenriki): which would add links to the categories "Japanese readings of 念 as ねん". Putting that category into a parent category like "Japanese kanji read as ねん" would go a long way to serving the function of the ===Kanji reading=== sections which have been in limbo for years, but would not interfere with any future development of them (I think Eirikr wants to put every reading in a part of speech section, which in many cases would be Affix .) It would also be nice to compare how common different readings are, which is impossible otherwise. I was planning to ask him about it but first I wanted to find out if it's even possible. Thanks!
