Green links on Spanish adjectives
Hi. When I click on the green links in a Spanish adjective entry, the new entry forms as a noun. Am I doing something wrong? -- A LGRIF  talk 14:59, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think fixed this problem yesterday. If you it should work correctly again. Conrad.Irwin 15:28, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Error on page
Lately, all Wiktionary pages give me a little yellow triangle at the bottom left (IE7), Clicking on it gives this error message - Line:1058 Char: 17  Error: Expected identifier, string or number  Code: 0  - Any ideas? SemperBlotto 09:58, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Should be fixed now, yay for internet explorer having it's own Javascript syntax rules... (though I should have spotted the problem by eye). Conrad.Irwin 14:30, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. By the way, I'm back on IE7 after a brief use of IE8 - paging went through the roof when I had multiple tabs open (typically two Wiktionaries, it.Wikipedia, two Italian dictionaries and a Google). SemperBlotto 07:06, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

contextification request
Can someone who knows how please convert template:no longer productive to a context template?—msh210 ℠  19:13, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for asking for it. DCDuring TALK 19:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Er, you're very welcome, if there's, indeed, anything to thank me for. (?)—msh210 ℠  19:53, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank, you, Ruakh.—msh210 ℠  19:47, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for doing it. DCDuring TALK 19:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, and now, after all that, I just realized that it was one, and I could have simply reverted.—msh210 ℠  19:53, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, the last time it was a context template, didn't yet have the tcat= parameter, so if you'd just reverted,  would have ended up in Category:Topical context labels. There's been a full iota of progress in the past year. Maybe even 1.5 iotae. :-)   —Ruakh TALK 20:42, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Bad links to Wikipedia -- bot run.
I have come across several links to Wikipedia where the Wikipedia article in question does not exist. I don't think there is a predefined script for removing these in PWB but a custom one shouldn't be too tricky. - 22:49, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


Why do Category:nl:Indonesian_derivations and Category:th:Indonesian_derivations add a category like Category:nl:Indonesian_language? After all, it is not needed and Category:th:Chinese_derivations and similar templates do not add it. —Stephen 13:59, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * That's a good question. has explicit code to check if the current language is English, and adds its caller Category:Chinese language iff so; but  uses a helper template that doesn't draw that distinction. I suppose we should simply remove Indonesian language from, and manually add Category:Indonesian language to Category:Indonesian derivations? —Ruakh TALK 16:08, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I put explicit code checking into . It seems to be working okay now. —Stephen 22:51, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
