Proto languages
Now that its initial run is done, you should consider using the bot account to update proto languages. Last time you did this under Nadando, but automated rather than manual. Am I right? Mglovesfun (talk) 09:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

lang=
I think NadandoBot should not change lang=da into lang=Danish, but instead go the other way, according to recent discussions on WT:GP. --LA2 01:57, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

{{usex
For some reason, your bot does not add " #: " in the beginning of the usex line when you apply it on Finnish entries. See e.g. kiihkeä and kallistua before and after my corrections to your edits. --Hekaheka (talk) 16:18, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry for a quick verdict. It seems that the entries were messed up already before you added the lang=fi -template. --Hekaheka (talk) 16:24, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

DTLHS?
Hi--I think this is user DTLHS's bot, right? If so, I have just added some new Latvian adjective forms at User:Pereru/Adjective forms. Perhaps you could create those form-of pages? Thanks in advance! --Pereru (talk) 04:13, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Spanish verb forms
Thanks a lot for the Spanish verb forms! Keep it going! In case you're not sure where to continue, try with [:https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Spanish_verbs_having_many_red_links_in_their_conjugation_table these] (should all be regular -ar verbs) and [:https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Spanish_terms_having_red_links_in_their_inflection_table these]. --Zo3rWer (talk) 11:22, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
 * A manual list can be found at User talk:BuchmeierBot/FeedMe --Zo3rWer (talk) 16:40, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Adjectuve forms
Hey. I noticed a typo in the bot code - adjective, not adjectuve please! WT is no place for slopy tyops. --Zo3rWer (talk) 07:35, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Your bot and MewBot undoing each other
See Helsinki. NadandoBot is adding spacing, and MewBot is removing them again. —CodeCat 23:14, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Your bot is still working counter to the WT:NORM rules, see . —CodeCat 15:43, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, fixed I think. DTLHS (talk) 18:04, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

lentokenttä
Would you like to specify what sort of attention you think this entry requires? --Hekaheka (talk) 11:00, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Also rautatie. --Hekaheka (talk) 11:03, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Also დროშა and ავიაკომპანია--DixtosaBOT (talk) 11:27, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * , I was asked by User:Metaknowledge to tag everything that blocked user Willy2000 had edited. Sorry for the confusion. DTLHS (talk) 15:56, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Does that mean that I can remove the tag if I think that the entry is correct now? --Hekaheka (talk) 16:45, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry; I meant entries created. He added a bunch of Indonesian interwikis, and those are of course not to be worried about. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:10, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * is a case where the entry really did need to be checked, though. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:12, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I have reverted all the additions of to pages that were already checked or did not need it. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:41, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Remove rfc-auto
Hey. Next time you reorder pages like this, it'll be a good idea to remove the rfc-auto tag. --Stubborn Pen (talk) 16:59, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes probably... someone should nominate that template for deletion. DTLHS (talk) 17:11, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Comma spacing
I think most of the edits related to comma spacing have been fine (and thanks for cleaning this up), but replaced   with , when it should be replaced with. — Eru·tuon 17:25, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I'll look for double commas separately. In the mean time it's not creating any new problems to change  to  . DTLHS (talk) 17:26, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Minor edits?

 * Should NadandoBot's edits to rebalance translation tables be marked as minor? They seem like minor edits to me. —Granger (talk · contribs) 21:13, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I didn't know anyone cared if they were. I can mark them as minor if you wish. DTLHS (talk) 23:05, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'd appreciate it. Marking them as minor allows users to hide them from the recent changes feed if desired, and it prevents email notifications for users (like me) who have watchlist email notifications enabled. —Granger (talk · contribs) 23:16, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

wrong
, I noticed that your bot has commented out about half of this entry in this revision. Please check and correct. BrentDT (talk) 15:52, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know- HTML comments are tricky to deal with and in the future I won't touch any translations that have them. I'll also analyze my edits for this problem. DTLHS (talk) 15:55, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * It also mangled the markup of a template on at least one occasion. Jarble (talk) 02:51, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, I will also try to fix this type of error. DTLHS (talk) 03:16, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Anagram containing equals sign
Hey, I had to fix a few pages that had module errors because a term contained an equals sign: for instance, see to. This is unlikely to happen very often, if at all, but perhaps you would want to add a rule in the bot's anagram-adding code. — Eru·tuon 22:01, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know. I'll definitely add a rule for that. DTLHS (talk) 23:01, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Japanese kanji categories
All wanted categories beginning with "Japanese kanji" should be able to be created with now. Can NadandoBot do that? — Eru·tuon 05:27, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Replacing Template:uk-pron
is quite primitive; it doesn't add the IPA (key) prefix or formatting, so it has to be enclosed in. I started to replace it with using AWB, but it's used in 950 or so entries, and that's an awful lot for an AWB run. Would you mind doing it by bot? I do have regex you can use (see below). {{collapse| \* *\{\{IPA\|\[\{\{uk-pron\|([^\}]+)\}\}\]\|lang=uk\}\}

\n\* *(\{\{audio[^\n]+)\n\* *(\{\{uk-IPA[^\n]+)\n* \n* $2\n* $1\n\n }} — Eru·tuon 02:09, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * , done, please review Борис, з'їзд. DTLHS (talk) 03:26, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * That was fast. Thank you so much! Went and fixed those two. — Eru·tuon 03:30, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Leipo
Do you know if it is a surname too? Is it of Greek origin? Ze56v (talk) 13:35, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't know. It would be better for you to ask in the tea room. DTLHS (talk) 16:49, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

£sd
Anagrams were added to the entry, although the list of anagrams the bot added did not include the glyph £. Is that a possible issue? Eyesnore (talk) 14:57, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * In my code I ignored "£" since it was punctuation. I could do something else with it though. DTLHS (talk) 15:31, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Vietnamese sortkeys
After I created Module:vi-sortkey, I searched for Vietnamese entries with bare categories, and there are quite a few ( right now). It would be great if they all used sortkey-generating templates ( or, ), but it isn't really necessary except for the titles containing diacritics or the modified letter. Basic Latin titles (consisting of ) will be sorted correctly, as I think the sortkey module makes no changes. (This is ignoring the question of sorting of, which I know nothing about.)

I'm not sure exactly how to go about this. It's sort of complicated: some of the entries have manually added lemma categories, which in some cases can be removed. Unless you have any ideas, or have come up with a function for templatizing categories, I would ask for a list of entries with non-basic Latin titles (and maybe complementary lists of basic Latin and Chữ Nôm, just for completeness).

Pinging, in case he/she has some input. — Eru·tuon 22:58, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I actually do already have something written that can templatize categories, if there is consensus from Vietnamese editors to do so. DTLHS (talk) 23:24, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Bot errors
Hey. Due to WF fuckupery, your bot Incorrectly made a few verb forms. If I don't get to it before you, you might want to delete them all and start again. --Recónditos (talk) 15:30, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I think I'll let you fix these. DTLHS (talk) 17:13, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Creating Chinese sortkey data modules
Hey, would your bot be able to create a bunch of data modules for Module:zh-sortkey? I have a list at Module:User:Erutuon/zh/documentation. Module names are printed before the content of that module. A few of the modules have already been created. I can do it myself, but it's pretty tedious. — Eru·tuon 19:36, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes. DTLHS (talk) 19:38, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Another thing is all the documentation pages of the subpages of Module:zh-sortkey/data should contain Category:Chinese sortkey data modules. Ideally they would also have the description "Data used by Module:zh-sortkey." (And maybe "These are codepoints of Chinese characters from such-and-such Unicode block" with a link to Wikipedia, but I have no idea if that's possible.) — Eru·tuon 19:50, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you create a documentation template for these pages? I can add it to the documentation pages and you can edit the description as you want. DTLHS (talk) 19:54, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, that makes far more sense. I'll go with Template:zh-sortkey data doc. — Eru·tuon 19:57, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Done. DTLHS (talk) 20:06, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Awesome!! Thank you so much!!! — Eru·tuon 20:08, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Oops, now I see the modules all have sortkeys equal to the pagename. I'm ashamed to ask because it's so nitpicky, but could you remove the categories so they can be added by the template? — Eru·tuon 21:25, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure. DTLHS (talk) 23:20, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Vietnamese categories
Hi, the bot has been ignoring the sort key when formatting categories into or, like here and here. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 03:32, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes I know, I'm fixing it now. DTLHS (talk) 03:46, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks! — justin(r)leung { (t...) 03:49, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I wonder if these Han-script entries should be using Module:zh-sortkey instead. — Eru·tuon 03:56, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Just let me know what you decide. DTLHS (talk) 04:01, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, that would be handled by the sortkey module, so you can keep doing what you're doing. — Eru·tuon 04:05, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

anagrams and entries spelled with equals signs
such as EPR=ER are probably not returning the intended results. —suzukaze (t・c) 10:34, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Pointless edits
Please stop edits like this which do not change the rendering of the page. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:30, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Reordering alt forms for multi-reading JA terms
Hello :

I noticed that NadandoBot is reordering sections in some JA entries in ways that aren't quite helpful.

In Japanese lexicography, alternative forms are inherently tied to reading (i.e. pronunciation). For Japanese terms with only one reading, the alt form can go at the top without causing confusion.

For multi-reading (also, by definition, multi-etym) Japanese terms, alt forms specific to certain readings clearly cannot go at the top of the entry, and thankfully NadandoBot isn't doing that.

However, in multi-reading Japanese entries, NadandoBot is moving the alt forms to insert them before the pronunciation sections, instead of leaving them after the pronunciation. This is confusing and unwanted. Could you tweak the bot's code to change this behavior?

Thank you, ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 00:07, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
