Hello ! In lieu of having no template for Modernising Middle English terms to modern spellings, I have added a '''categorize''' template to {{m|enm|wrengthe}}, which created a redlinked [[wikt:Category:Middle English modernised forms‎forms]]. However, this page has an error. can someone please investigate further and hopefully repair/fix ? Thanks in advance !

: I looked at the disgruntled template, and I think I may have corrected it, so closing this for now. [[User:Leasnam|Leasnam]] ([[User talk:Leasnam|talk]]) 20:07, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
: {{edit conflict}} The problem is that there is no "[language] modernised forms" item in the modules. The way our module infrastructure is designed, such things are language-independent and can be applied to any language where appropriate. Are such things described that way in other languages, or is there some other term used? If the latter, we might want to consider changing one or the other. With a word like "[[modernised]]", there's also the matter of Pondian variation- you would also want to look for categories spelled with "[[modernized]]". We would also need to consider where in to put this in the category tree. Otherwise it ends up in [[:Special:UncategorizedCategories]] for someone else to fix.

:The quote/cite templates are in urgent need of Luafication; they are almost unmaintainable in their current state. I don't think there is any chance of solving this issue without [[WT:LUA]].

::As the editor who’s been trying to maintain the reference templates up till now, I can confirm that these issues with commas are very hard to solve because of all the possible combinations of parameters (author and quotee, author and editor, editor with no author, author and translator, etc.). I’m afraid, though, that I have no experience with Lua. Perhaps {{ping|Benwing2}} or {{ping|Erutuon}} can help. — [[User:Sgconlaw|Sgconlaw]] ([[User talk:Sgconlaw|talk]]) 11:34, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

I have [https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Module%3Aetymology%2Fmulti%2Fsandbox&type=revision&diff=69375126&oldid=69374683 implemented a change] to the module sandbox that will correct this:
 
: {{tl|cognate/sandbox|it,fr|example123}} => '''[Edit: module deleted]''' <!-- {{cognate/sandbox|it,fr|example123}} -->
 
Note that I did take into consideration the edge case where link normalization results in different page titles:
 
: {{tl|cognate/sandbox|la,lv|exāmple123}} => '''[Edit: module deleted]''' <!-- {{cognate/sandbox|la,lv|exāmple123}} --> (the Latin normalizes to <nowiki>[[example123]]</nowiki>, while the Latvian retains the diacritic as in <nowiki>[[exāmple123]]</nowiki>, so having separate links makes sense).

== robots.txt ==
 
I found out that some pages in [[:Category:Wiktionary-namespace discussion pages]] would be in the top results in certain Google searches, which is annoying. Can someone get the Phabricator people to change the robots.txt, so that pages in that category (and maybe other pages such as [[Citations:]] and [[Talk:]]) no longer appear in Google search? Judging from the [https://en.wiktionary.org/robots.txt current robots.txt] there has been precedent from other wikis to do so, and I would assume that this affects Wikt heavily, as it is a common thing to google with double quotes for searching cites. – [[User:Wpi31|Wpi31]] ([[User talk:Wpi31|talk]]) 14:06, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

:We could try throwing a <nowiki>__NOINDEX__</nowiki> on the offending pages and see if that is enough to delist them. I am guessing most of their search juice is internal linking. - [[User:TheDaveRoss|<span class="mysig">TheDaveRoss</span>]] 15:04, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
