What now?
[edit]@Victar, Andrew Sheedy, Mnemosientje, Rua This vote passed almost a month ago, but it doesn't like anything has been done about implementing it. Also, what do we do about our one attested Frankish entry, ᚨᚾᚾ? —Mahāgaja · talk 22:02, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Mahagaja: I'm not an admin so I can't restore the Frankish entries @Rua deleted. --
{{victar|talk}}04:42, 8 March 2020 (UTC)- @Victar: I thought she re-created them as West Germanic entries anyway, didn't she? Anyway, that seems like the least of the issues. As an admin, I can easily go to Module:languages/data3/f and remove "frk", and then go to Module:etymology languages/data and add "frk", but I'm not sure what the consequences after that will be. Will that create a thousand module errors at CAT:E that will require a bot to clean up? —Mahāgaja · talk 15:48, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Mahagaja: I created a vote to a) make the change official, because demoting a language with over a hundred entries to a dialect should be something that's voted on, and b) instead of moving Frankish entries to Proto-West Germanic ones, @Rua was deleting them, and expunging their edit histories by doing so, which needed to stop. --
{{victar|talk}}19:46, 8 March 2020 (UTC)- Wikipedia's article on the Bergakker inscription says it may be considered the earliest attestation of Old Dutch, so I'm reassigning ᚨᚾᚾ to Old Dutch so that Frankish can become an etymology-only variant of a reconstructed language. —Mahāgaja · talk 14:14, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
