Wiktionary talk:By alphabetical order

Yeah, it is pretty changeable to use letters, at least at this point...I think I'll go ahead and put some general letters back up though (without all the detail)...Just wanted to put the page up... user:brettz9
 * Is there a function that will allow the automatic generation of the title of the n'th article on the alphabetical list? That would take care of a lot of problems here. Eclecticology 19:42 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)


 * Do you mean list the first article in the nth page of 250?
 * Yes.
 * (I don't have power to do anything about it, but I didn't understand your comment.) Automatic generation would be great, but it will probably be less necessary to change the pages (at least if we are limiting the pages to the first letter of the word) when there are more items user:brettz9
 * Quite the contrary. As we get bigger adding a new article 97 will change the entry at article 32,501.  Even now three separate groups of 250 begin with the namespace "Wiktionary:".  The entire ordered list is numbered; thus asking "What is the title of article #251 should give is the name for the first article in the second group.  It is likely that there is a formula to do this.  This is more a matter of knowing the formula than of having the power to do this. Eclecticology 02:54 Mar 3, 2003 (UTC)
 * I guess what I meant was that if the articles are pushed forward when there are a lot of items, even though the letter won't be positioned at the first page, it would at least get people in the right vicinity. But yeah, maybe there is some code for it. user:brettz9 Mar 3, 2003

Thanks for contributing here and adding the specificity. Someone on Wikipedia deleted the page started there for the same purpose since he said he's testing out an automatic generator (though it's not implemented yet). Hopefully it'll be done soon and also addable here? - Brettz9 04:33 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC) P.S. Even though the specificity is great, I did kind of like the general quick glance single letter items before. Those were also not as changeable for manual updates, but if someone is willing....
