تلفاز
There is a citation to a dictionary in this article, but the dictionary in question does not appear to contain the word. I'm not sure how we handle this sort of problem in WT: should I simply remove the reference, or what? (I looked for a cleanup tag like w:Template:failed verification to apply, but I didn't find one.)

 * It is in page 116. — Fenakhay ( حيطي · مساهماتي ) 16:52, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I didn't think of looking before the page that the link delivered me to, particularly since تلفيريك is on that page - I didn't notice the ya before the fa (and I'm not very familiar with Arabic alphabetical order). So the problem is with ejtaal.net's indexing then. Is there a way of fixing the link to point to the right place nevertheless? ColinFine (talk) 17:03, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Question.
Question. Is there a category or special page where one can check entries that have no etymologies? [Saviourofthe] ୨୧ 14:09, 2 July 2024 (UTC)


 * This will show you every page that links to or transcludes rfe, which is a start. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:58, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * also categorizes by language. Vininn126 (talk) 06:24, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

I just edited an entry, and then made an account. Can that edit be added to my contributions?
I added an etymology for the Sanskrit term चेतना anonymously. I then created an account, because I thought I might make contributions later on. Is it possible to add to my contributions under my account?

How to remove Japanese transliteration?
I'm trying to remove all instances of Latin transliteration appearing in brackets after Japanese words. (For myself only.)

Since I am only starting out in CSS and Javascript, could someone provide me with working code to add to my custom files?

So far, I've managed to hide the letters and dot via my custom CSS. This leaves the brackets, which I don't seem to know how to replace with whitespace in my common.js.

Proto-Indo-European noun template doesn't show gender
Template ine-noun is broken since 28 May, 2024 and does not show the word's gender. I'm new to template coding and don't know the last editor's intent. Does somebody more experienced know how to fix it? 37.79.13.111 18:56, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I think I fixed it. When I edited the code, I left out one of the arguments. I have more experience with template coding, but not a lot. Sorry about that, and I hope others will check my code. Chuck Entz (talk) 20:51, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Add subpage to locked page
I created this page: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Frequency_lists/Cantonese

I want to add it to the "Frequency Lists" section of this locked page: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Frequency_lists

Is this automatically done by the maintainer or do I need to ask somewhere (new to Wiktionary contributions)? LachyMcD (talk) 06:24, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
