batch loading italian verb forms

[edit]

Could you please add "{{infl|it|verb form}}" instead of the word when batch loading articles from file as in f.e. accasciandovi, accasciandoti,accasciandomi, accasciandoci, abbuffandovi, etc. Otherwise the pages fill up Special:UncategorizedPages again while i am trying to get that endless list smaller.

Italian participles

[edit]

Not every italian participle has a female or plural form. Participles of verbs which are to conjugate with "avere" altough they are intransitive, cannot exist. Exemples: abbaiati, pranzati.... Sorry, it's simply ridiculous --85.1.137.47 14:11, 8 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Recent changes

[edit]

Does the bot follow the recent changes, or just your most recent edits? I occasionally find Italian words that have red linked plural, I'm assuming these are older entries, right? Mglovesfun (talk) 14:17, 24 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Adjective forms

[edit]

Just a heads-up: we might change the appearance of non-gloss definitions (see here) and as your Italian adjective forms don't use a template, they would become inconsistent. —Internoob (DiscCont) 01:43, 28 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

athleticis

[edit]

Latin has no common gender; only masculine, feminine, and neuter. The "common gender" in linguistics is not the same as "common to all genders". --EncycloPetey 08:53, 13 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Also, the inflection line was missing a standard macron in the ending. This may be a problem on previously generated pages. --EncycloPetey 09:12, 13 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

French plural participles

[edit]

Can you update the bot syntax to do this? Reasons are two fold. lang=French produces {{French/script}} (doesn't exist) and French has two plural past participles, masculine and feminine. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:21, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

forms of imprimo

[edit]

I don't know if there is only one verb with that bug but I found one. Forms of imprimo, for example impresserat, link to the verb imprĭmo instead of imprimo. Another: imprĭmis also links to imprimo but No pages link to imprĭmis. Maro 22:18, 1 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Some missed Latin entries

[edit]

It looks like the bot ended up not adding inflections of the Latin discus to disco and disce. Would this have happened for all cases where a page already existed for an inflected form, or just if a page already existed and already had a Latin section?

SemperBlottoBot's generated forms

[edit]

Your bot is still adding raw links to entries, like affûtiaux, even though that has been deprecated for a long time. I am working on cleaning up such usage right now (see Category:Entries using form-of templates with a raw link), so could you fix your bot so that it doesn't do that anymore?

referencia

[edit]

I noticed your bot added a space after the word it links to. This is causing problems because the template thinks that the parameter is not a valid page name, so it omits the link. There are others in Category:Entries using form-of templates with a raw link/conjugation of. —CodeCat 15:25, 19 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

on the auto-creation of French conjugated forms

[edit]

Hey, Jeff.

Do you think you could have your bot add lang=fr to {{homophones}} when it creates French forms. This will (as the template is currently configured) do nothing except that it will change the links to section-sepcific links (so pastiches rather than pastiches).

Thanks.​—msh210 (talk) 18:22, 24 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Something went wrong with Portuguese verb forms

[edit]

These are incorrect

Latin declension tables

[edit]

Latin declension tables no longer need separate parameters for the macrons. So these have been removed. I didn't realise your bot used these templates, but I just noticed it now so I'm letting you know. The verb tables still work the old way, but they will probably be changed as well at some point. If I am the one that does it, I hope I remember then to notify you. Could you place notices on the documentation pages, like you did with the Italian templates? —CodeCat 16:38, 17 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Plural forms

[edit]

{{plural of}} doesn't categorise anymore (see WT:NFE), and I noticed your bot hasn't been updated yet, so now it's creating orphaned entries. I've fixed the ones you created, but I'm letting you know in case you need to update your script. —CodeCat 20:02, 8 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hold on, before you do stuff, don't you think there should be a discussion about what changes you're going to make? --WikiTiki89 02:09, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
It's mostly just removing different parameters that do the same thing. —CodeCat 02:15, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
If you mean this then I'm ok with it, but I think fplural should also be renamed to fpl. --WikiTiki89 02:21, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Yes, like that. I also want to make 2= replace pl=, because that parameter is underused, and 3= and othergender= will become m= and f=, so that 3= can replace pl2=. It mainly brings the template in line with other similar templates like {{ca-noun}} and {{en-noun}}, which already work this way. —CodeCat 02:24, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Ok, that's fine. --WikiTiki89 02:27, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
OK. I'll keep an eye on it. SemperBlottoBot (talk) 08:20, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Gender and number templates are going to be deleted

Problems with the autogenerated entries for the declined forms of Lūcās

Hi SBB. Please see these corrections I've made. For {{la-decl-1st-Greek-Ma|num=sg}}, the quantities of the final -ā̆ of the ablative and vocative forms are different, and grammatical number should not be listed in the form-of definitions of pluralia and singularia tantum; also, your bot should be able to distinguish between common and proper nouns (proper nouns have their own form-of headword template, viz. {{la-proper noun-form}}).

Personally, I consider that fixing my (bot or manual) mistakes is an absolute priority.
Also note that these forms normally don't exist (intransitive verb). They exist only because of a new (missing) transitive sense derived from the English verb (trim). I'm afraid that your bot created many such inexistent forms for French intransitive verbs. Lmaltier (talk) 18:16, 25 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Your bot is creating module errors on French past participle forms. For example at arrhés,

Changes to Latin first- and second-declension adjectival-declension templates

[edit]

Hi SB(B). I've made some changes:

  1. In {{la-decl-1&2}}, the old |type=greek is now |type=greekA. |type=greekA displays as in adespotos.
  2. |type=greekE has been added to {{la-decl-1&2}}. |type=greekE displays as in rhētoricōteros.
  3. I have created a new declension template, viz. {{la-adecl-2nd}}. In that declension, the feminine forms are isomorphic with the masculine forms; in non-lemma entries, the masc./fem. forms will need duplicated sense lines, as in the case of non-lemma forms of adjectives declined per {{la-decl-3rd-2E}}.
    1. Its normal display is as in chrȳsocarpus.
    2. Its Greek variant, |type=greek, displays as in chrȳsocarpos.

I asked a university Latin teacher about this, and I was told that the word doesn't exist.

Forms of Latin "citer"

[edit]

You auto-generated entries for forms of the Latin adjective "citer" on 9 March 2016. Unfortunately, while they all seem to have been generated on the right pages, a number of them managed to misspell the relevant form within the Latin entry itself, omitting the 'r' in the following forms: citrum, citram, citrae, citri, citrorum, citros, citrarum, citris, citras. I have corrected these typos; however, I am concerned, since the entries were auto-generated, that a similar problem may have arisen in the auto-generation of forms of other similar Latin adjectives (or nouns) ending in -er, so I wanted to bring it to your attention. [I also note that you auto-generated an entry for "citre" as a putative masculine singular vocative form of "citer" (also with typo, as above), but the correct form is in fact "citer" so I deleted this entry.] LacrimosaDiesIlla (talk) 17:01, 29 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
