Module:accel

This module supports the accelerated entry creation gadget, WT:ACCEL. It automatically creates entries according to a set of language-specific rules, located in submodules.

The module will automatically try to merge multiple generated entries into one, if everything but the definitions is the same. Moreover, if the definitions use {{inflection of}}, then the inflection tags will be combined into a single {{inflection of}} definition line, separated by a semicolon ;. In addition, the module will attempt to group multiple semicolon-separated tag sets in a single {{inflection of}} call that differ in only one dimension, using multipart tags. For example, the following initially-generated entries

==Latin==

===Adjective===
{{head|la|adjective form|head=bonīs}}

# {{inflection of|la|bonus||dat|m|p}}

===Adjective===
{{head|la|adjective form|head=bonīs}}

# {{inflection of|la|bonus||dat|f|p}}

===Adjective===
{{head|la|adjective form|head=bonīs}}

# {{inflection of|la|bonus||dat|n|p}}

===Adjective===
{{head|la|adjective form|head=bonīs}}

# {{inflection of|la|bonus||abl|m|p}}

===Adjective===
{{head|la|adjective form|head=bonīs}}

# {{inflection of|la|bonus||abl|f|p}}

===Adjective===
{{head|la|adjective form|head=bonīs}}

# {{inflection of|la|bonus||abl|n|p}}

will first be grouped into one entry as follows:

==Latin==

===Adjective===
{{head|la|adjective form|head=bonīs}}

# {{inflection of|la|bonus||dat|m|p}}
# {{inflection of|la|bonus||dat|f|p}}
# {{inflection of|la|bonus||dat|n|p}}
# {{inflection of|la|bonus||abl|m|p}}
# {{inflection of|la|bonus||abl|f|p}}
# {{inflection of|la|bonus||abl|n|p}}

Then, the several inflection lines will be combined together into one:

==Latin==

===Adjective===
{{head|la|adjective form|head=bonīs}}

# {{inflection of|la|bonus||dat|m|p|;|dat|f|p|;|dat|n|p|;|abl|m|p|;|abl|f|p|;|abl|n|p}}

Finally, the several tag sets in the single {{inflection of}} call will be grouped into one tag set with multipart tags, like this:

==Latin==

===Adjective===
{{head|la|adjective form|head=bonīs}}

# {{inflection of|la|bonus||dat//abl|m//f//n|p}}

The use of multipart tags like this helps by indicating where syncretism occurs and reduces the amount of information that must be processed. The algorithm to do the grouping is quite smart; it will only group when it won't change the semantics of the inflections, and there are multiple possible groupings that yield the same number of tag sets, the one with the fewest number of multipart tags is preferred. As an example of the latter, an entry like this::

==Latin==

===Adjective===
{{head|la|adjective form|head=bonum}}

# {{inflection of|la|bonus||acc|m|s|;|nom|n|s|;|acc|n|s|;|voc|n|s}}

will be converted to the following:

==Latin==

===Adjective===
{{head|la|adjective form|head=bonum}}

# {{inflection of|la|bonus||acc|m|s|;|nom//acc//voc|n|s}}

It could equally well be converted to the following, which also contains two tag sets:

==Latin==

===Adjective===
{{head|la|adjective form|head=bonum}}

# {{inflection of|la|bonus||acc|m//n|s|;|nom//voc|n|s}}

However, this grouping is dispreferred because it results in two multipart tags, while the preferred grouping has only one.

Language-specific submodules


Default rules

The module uses a set of default rules which generate entries that should be acceptable in most cases:

  • The headword is formatted using {{head}}, using the part-of-speech of the lemma plus "form", e.g. noun → noun form, adjective → adjective form, etc.
    • For the tags comparative and superlative, "comparative" and "superlative" are added to before the part of speech instead.
  • The definition is formatted using {{inflection of}}, and the form tag is used directly as the form tag of the template. Thus, gen|s{{inflection of|lang|...||gen|s}}.
  • For some tags, a special-purpose template is used in the definition instead:

These defaults may change in the future as Wiktionary's needs change. Don't rely on particular default values. If in doubt, assume that everything will use {{inflection of}}, and override anything you want to be different.

Requesting new rules

First, consider whether new rules are needed at all. The default rules suffice for many cases, especially if you make sure to provide a value for the form tag that can be directly inserted into {{inflection of}}. If you really need language-specific rules, and are not able to edit the module yourself, please file requests for new features at the Grease Pit. Specify:

  1. What you want to generate the links for. That includes at least a link to the template whose links you want to make green.
  2. What the generated entries should look like. In particular, which headword-line template it should use, and which form-of template, which parameters they should receive in which situations, and so on. A link to a word that has blue links to all the forms in the template would work best, as an example.
  3. Ideally, a link to a word that has red links to all the forms. This is useful for testing to see if the generated entries are correct.

Adding new rules

Generation rules are used to create the entry's contents. The general parts are defined in this module, while the language-specific rules are handled by submodules. Each submodule must return a table containing one function named generate. This function has two parameters, params and entry, and it does not return any value.

Params

The params parameter is a table that contains the information about the lemma, the form-of entry to be created, and the acceleration tags. It contains the following values:

lang
The language code of the language in question.
pos
The part of speech that the new entry is created for, e.g. "noun" or "verb". This is taken from whatever part-of-speech header preceded the template in the lemma entry. The default rule for creating the headword adds " form" onto this, resulting in e.g. {{head|hi|noun form}}.
target
The non-lemma form that the new entry is created for. This is taken automatically from the display form (alt) in the template's link to the form. It is used to give the head= parameter of the headword, if necessary (i.e. if different from target_pagename). This is the same as target_pagename in most cases, but can be different if the display form contains additional diacritics, as in languages such as Russian or Ukrainian (where the target will contain an acute accent marking the stress, if the word is more than one syllable) and Latin or Old English (where the target will contain macrons marking long vowels).
target_pagename
The page name of the entry to be created.
form
The name of the form. Normally this is an inflection code with the individual tags separated by pipe symbols, e.g. "1|s|pres|ind". Occasionally it may be something else like "comparative". This comes from the .accel.form field in a module invocation; the |accel-form= parameter in a call to {{l}}, {{m}} or similar; or the |fNaccel-form= parameter in a call to {{head}}. See WT:ACCEL for more information.
gender
The gender, or nil if no gender was explicitly given. This comes from the .accel.gender field in a module invocation; the |accel-gender= parameter in a call to {{l}}, {{m}} or similar; or the |fNaccel-gender= parameter in a call to {{head}}. See WT:ACCEL for more information.
transliteration
The transliteration of the non-lemma form, or nil if no gender was explicitly given. This comes from the .accel.translit field in a module invocation; the |accel-translit= parameter in a call to {{l}}, {{m}} or similar; or the |fNaccel-translit= parameter in a call to {{head}}. See WT:ACCEL for more information. Note that this will only be specified for languages that use a non-Latin script, and only when the auto-generated transliteration is insufficient, incorrect or nonexistent.
origin
The lemma that the new entry should link back to. This comes from the .accel.lemma field in a module invocation; the |accel-lemma= parameter in a call to {{l}}, {{m}} or similar; or the |fNaccel-lemma= parameter in a call to {{head}}. Under normal circumstances, none of these parameters are explicitly given, in which case the value of this field is the same as origin_pagename. (It will only differ from origin_pagename when the lemma contains additional diacritics that are stripped in order to generate the pagename, as in Latin, Russian, Ancient Greek or Old English. See WT:ACCEL for more information.
origin_pagename
The page name of the lemma to link back to.
origin_transliteration
The transliteration of the lemma to link back to, or nil. This comes from the .accel.lemma_translit field in a module invocation; the |accel-lemma-translit= parameter in a call to {{l}}, {{m}} or similar; or the |fNaccel-lemma-translit= parameter in a call to {{head}}. The same considerations apply here as for transliteration above. See WT:ACCEL for more information.

Entry

The entry parameter is essentially the return value of the function. It is a table that contains the different parts of the entry that is being created. Some of them will already have a default value when the language-specific function is run, while others are nil by default. The purpose of the generation function for each language is to fill in these values, or override the defaults, so that the entry is generated according to what is needed for the language. The entry table contains the following values:

pronunc
The contents of the "Pronunciation" section, if any. Empty by default.
pos_header
The name of the level 3 part-of-speech header for the new entry. This does not usually need to be changed, as it automatically matches the part of speech of the main entry. But you can change it if, for example, you are generating a participle entry and you want to show "Participle" instead of "Verb".
head
The headword template code and all its parameters. By default, it uses {{head|(lang)|(pos) form}}, with head= and tr= as necessary. You need to override this if you need something else.
def
The definition line, without the initial # . By default, it uses {{inflection of|(lang)|(target)||(form)}}, with tr= as necessary. You need to override this if you need something else.
inflection, declension, conjugation
The contents of the "Inflection", "Declension" and "Conjugation" sections respectively, if any. Empty by default. This can be used if the new entry is a sub-lemma with its own inflection, such as participles or comparative/superlative forms that inflect themselves.
mutation
The contents of the "Mutation" section. Empty by default. This appears at level 3 rather than level 4.
altforms
The contents of the "Alternative forms" section. Empty by default. This appears after the definitions (rather than before, which is more common) and after the sections above (as per WT:EL).

--[=[
The purpose of the acceleration code is to auto-generate pages for non-lemma forms (inflections) of a given lemma.
The way it works is approximately as follows:

1. When you have the accelerator gadget in [[MediaWiki:Gadget-AcceleratedFormCreation.js]] enabled, and you click on a
   green link, the JavaScript code gathers all the green links on the page that have the same language and pagename as
   the clicked-on green link and sends them to the generate_JSON() function in this module, which is a thin wrapper
   around the generate() function. Each individual green link maps to an "entry" and has associated accelerator
   properties that were specified by the `accel` object passed into full_link() in [[Module:links]]. Note that there can
   -- be multiple entries passed to a single generate() call for various reasons, e.g.:
   (1) Inside of a single inflection table there is syncretism, with two different inflections having the same form;
       e.g. the same Latin form ''bonī'' occurs in three different inflections of the lemma [[bonus]]: the masculine
	   genitive singular, neuter genitive singular and masculine nominative plural. Hence there will be three entries.
   (2) Inside of a single inflection table there are inflections that are spelled differently but map to the same
       pagename due to diacritic removal; e.g. Latin ''bona'' (occurring in five different inflections: the feminine
	   nominative and vocative singular and the neuter nominative, accusative and vocative plural) and Latin ''bonā''
	   (the feminine ablative singular) will be merged together into a single call to generate() with six entries.
   (3) There are two or more inflection tables, partly or completely duplicative. E.g. if a given lemma has
       Etymology 1 and Etymology 2 sections, and the inflection of each separate etymology is the same and associated
	   with its own table, then clicking on any green link will result in (at least) two entries.

2. The generate() function is invoked like a template call, meaning all its arguments come as strings and need to be
   parsed. It does the following steps:

   (1) Parse its arguments.
   (2) Convert each set of per-entry parameters into a `params` object.
   (3) For each `params` object, generate a default entry, then, if there is a language-specific accelerator submodule,
       call that module to customize the entry.
   (4) Merge duplicate entries. This not only looks for completely duplicated entries but tries to merge entries that
       differ only in the definition. In general, this will result in multiple definition lines under a single entry,
	   but definition lines that consist of calls to {{infl of}} will be further merged. For example, for the
	   example above with ''bona'' and ''bonā'', the five inflections of ''bona'' will be merged into a single entry
	   with a single call to {{infl of}} that looks something like this:
	   # {{infl of|la|bonus||nom//voc|f|s|;|nom//acc//voc|n|p}}
	   In other words, not only are the inflections combined into a single call to {{infl of}}, but inflections
	   with partly shared tags are further merged.
   (5) Generate the Pronunciation and Etymology sections that go at the top, above all the entries. This is done either
       by calling custom generate functions in the language-specific accelerator submodule, or (if those aren't given)
	   by merging the individual pronunciation and etymology lines, removing duplicates. Note that the default entry
	   generated in step (3) has no pronunciation or etymology (which are generated only by a language-specific
	   submodule), so by default there will be no Pronunciation or Etymology section.
   (6) Assemble the parts of each entry into a string and paste all the strings together, along with any combined
       Pronunciation and Etymology sections, to form the text of the entire per-language L2 section. Note that if you
	   have enabled the OrangeLinks gadget, accelerator entries can be created on already-existing pages, as long as
	   there's no L2 section for the language of the entries.

Combine multiple semicolon-separated tag sets into multipart tags if possible. We combine tag sets that differ in
only one tag in a given dimension, and repeat this until no changes in case we can reduce along multiple dimensions,
e.g.

{{infl of|la|canus||dat|m|p|;|dat|f|p|;|dat|n|p|;|abl|m|p|;|abl|f|p|;|abl|n|p}}

{{infl of|la|canus||dat//abl|m//f//n|p}}

`tag_sets` is a list of objects of the form {tags = {"TAG", "TAG", ...}, labels = {"LABEL", "LABEL", ...}}, i.e. of the
same format as `data.tag_sets` as passed to tagged_inflections() in [[Module:form of]]. Also accepted is an "old-style"
list of strings, one element per tag, with tag sets separated by a semicolon, the same as in {{infl of}}.

The return value is in the same format as was passed into `tag_sets`. If an old-style tag list was passed in, and
labels are present, they are attached to the last tag in a tag set using an inline modifier.
