Ideas which I'm thoroughly incapable of implementing myself

 * enable some new "Preferences"
 * favorite order of grammatical cases in declension tables
 * favorite ordering of senses: chronological/etymological (obsolete senses first), or practical (most common senses first)
 * two versions of each entry: a linguistic one (etymology header first; uses of labels such as (ergative), etc.); a simpler one, oriented towards language learners. But they have to depend from each other; data for the simpler one automatically extracted from the linguistic?
 * allow simultaneous output of transcription and transliteration
 * be able to invoke individual Swadesh lists in comparative pages (Swadesh lists for families)
 * is there a way to "cross" categories between them easily? How much are subcats needed?

Done

 * ,, to
 * find all lemmas that don't use yet; these are often old entries. See also: Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:tracking/IPA/grc
 * The same principle applies to the predecessors of . There will surely be regressions and mistakes, but is the only wieldy template, and the only long-term solution.
 * There are transclusions of . It's a very unwieldy template. Let's convert all the instances to, and then we can work on the latter's output, inconsistencies, etc.

Don't forget

 * Votes/pl-2014-06/Allowing attested romanizations
 * CAT:Pseudo-anglicisms by language, . I guess the module is cleverer than I am actually: it made me realise that I can create CAT:English pseudo-anglicisms without having a module error, which obviously doesn't make sense. I should probably have the same system that prevents us from creating cats like CAT:English terms calqued from English (edit: wait, I could actually create that category...). pseudo-gallicisms, pseudo-foreignisms?
