![]() One thing we try to do here on the English Wiktionary is to wikify any language name which we feel is "exotic" to the casual reader. I see you're doing a lot of work adding translations to all kinds of languages. Thank you.- Strabismus 05:05, 4 February 2006 (UTC) Reply Exotic languages Hi, Strabismus, I would like to ask you to refrain from removing the font templates, such as ? I am frequently working with several non-English wiki's and most of them use templates too but theirs don't link anywhere: which is cool and would/will be so here if/when it is considered/effectuated. Okay, one last comment: GIVE ME A BREAK, I'M NOT PERFECT, YOU'RE NOT PERFECT, NOBODY'S PERFECT, IM JUST TRYING TO HELP THE WORLD COMMUNICATE MORE EASILY, I MAY NOT BE DOING THE BEST JOB BUT NEITHER ARE YOU, SO LET'S NOT TAKE THE PISS OUT OF EACH OTHER, DEAL? REMEMBER: IRON SHARPENS IRON! ᏙᎾᏓᎪᎲᎢ.- Strabismus 06:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC) Reply Font templates ⁸Yeah, I know, "Why didn't I save us all some time and put the last sentence first/instead?" Funny. If time is money, then I am stoney broke. ⁴Well, I think we know what became of the latter… (And, yes I realise that was just a movie.) ☭oes the phrase "poverty of intellect" ring a bell? In short⁸, I am not interested in your criticism so p-l-e-a-s-e just get off my back and leave me alone henceforth, okay? So, beat it! Hit the road! Am-scram! Get, outta here, kid, ya bodda me! OKAY? Do I have to report you? (That's a rhetorical question and a warning.) (Who?) You know "who"! A bulk of Internet users think¹ that they're so safe behind their computers, just typing whatever pisses² somebody else off! Y'know, from my experience³ humans aren't bullet-proof, but that's neither here nor there! (Why do I feel like Luke Skywalker talking with the Emperor?⁴) «Is it?»: what the hell⁵ does that mean⁶? Is it what?⁷ Hang on, kiddo, I'm runnin' out of space here. Who are "we"? You and your imagination? Shut up!, I haven't finished yet! Don't you see any purpose for them? If not, then I'm gonna need to have a little word with JW. ![]() Everyone else is worried that contributors aren't aware of the names of the languages for which the ISO codes stand.? Are you sure of this? Do you know this for a fact? Are you taking any MAO inhibitors? Does your master know that you are out of your cage? (NB-Careful, with your comments on mine, Ncik: the size of this page may grow to colossal proportions and throw us into another wretched…) How feckless can you be and still be given moderator privileges? Are you even human? (don't answer that, kiddo!) Look, I don't come to your job jumping up and down on the end of the… who-knows-what! «One of the reasons we don't use them». I don't like having to type out… blah, blah, blah… (i.e., read my notes below). «Not only I am.»? Grammatical vagaries aside, WHY? Why are you ( all of you) children afraid that others (who are likely twice your age) don't know what the codes stand for? There's not a single language template I use for which I don't the corresponding language. Leave these debates in their original order! Okay, kiddo? And, Ncik, please don't dissynchronise my my talk page! It's inaccurate and borders on vandalism. I guess you're going to put another half-assed comment below this one (this half-assed comment, that is). Hey, where the hell did my time stamp go from last time? Tsk-tsk-tsk. So why not here, Little Saint Ncik?… Hmm?… Ncik 20:29, 30 January 2006 (UTC) Reply Īs I say, it works everywhere else. Or are you the type who likes to alphabetise everything and are discouraged because the codes' corresponding language names are not in direct alphabetical sequence? Ncik 20:29, 30 January 2006 (UTC) Reply Īre you worried that contributors aren't aware of the names of the languages for which the ISO codes stand? Do we really need to type out everything and take up more disk space and throw ourselves into another wretched fund drive? If we had 100 translations on each of our 100,000 pages and the average language templates saved us 4 letters (=bytes), we would reduce Wiktionary's size by 10 MB. I've been an editor for as far as my memory runs not to the contrary and the template concept is a marvellous boon. On all the other wiktionaries I work with (ca. ![]() Indeed, why do they exist in the first place? I like them. Ncik 16:36, 9 January 2006 (UTC) Reply Why not? It saves time and takes up less space. Please do not use language templates in the Translations section.
