Hi. The code for Middle English is not en (modern) but enm. Please fix alengthe, olenght and the very many others you created in error. Equinox ◑ 10:50, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Equinox:! Thanks for the heads up about the language code. Alength was my first serious effort to create good content on Wiktionary, and, not being comfortable with templates, I probably copy-pasted the en-having templates from another page. In the months since it looks like all the variant spellings, including the ones you link to, have already had their templates fixed by other users, and I've verified that all the other pages I've edited the Middle English sections of have the correct language codes as well.

While I have you, I was wondering if you could elaborate a bit on your reasons for deletion of the page dictatories. The word is attested in print [1] (pg. 266; see search results on right) [2] (page 4) [3] (in a different sense) and elsewhere online [4] [5] [6]. Cheers.

Hi. I deleted "dictatories" because it wasn't coherent. It was (if I remember correctly) given as a plural of unrelated words like "dictation" etc. This may have occurred occasionally as one-off errors but that doesn't make it a part of the language for a dictionary to cover.
