Italicisation of Halkomelem

This discussion moved to Template talk:Lang#Italicisation of Halkomelem, as it pertains to {{lang}}.

lang for Proto-Slavic

*bogatьstvo ({{wikt-lang|sla-pro|*bogatьstvo}}) should emit HTML similar to *bogatьstvo ({{lang|sla-x-proto|bogatьstvo}}) but in the first case the lang attribute has the illegal sla-pro and the second has sla. --Error (talk) 12:50, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Italics

The documentation for Template:Wikt-lang states that italics can be disabled, but this functionality doesn't seem to actually work and I can't figure out why. Regardless of whether |i=, |italic=, and |italics= is used, and whether it is set to "no" as the documentation suggests or to 0, it doesn't disable the italics.

Can someone fix this so that the italics actually can be disabled? – Scyrme (talk) 13:29, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Jberkel (talk) 11:35, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikt-lang Template: Link to subsection for words with multiple "Etymologies" in the language?

For example, consider the English word "see." There are two completely etymologically-distinct meanings: a verb for visually perceiving or understanding, and a Catholic diocese headed by a bishop.

To show this, the Wiktionary page for "see" has multiple Etymology subsections within the English section. (In this case, only two, but some pages have many more.)

When using the {{Wikt-lang}} template, there's no option to link to a specific Etymology subsection. For example, {{Wikt-lang|en|see}} → see, which always links to the beginning of the "English" section. If I'm editing the Wikipedia page about Episcopal Sees, I'd like to be able to link to the second etymology of "see" in Wiktionary.

This probably requires a new, ffth parameter for "Etymology Number" or something like that. (@Erutuon:, @Jberkel:?) Dark Jackalope (talk) 23:47, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Greenlandic / Kalaallisut

Wiktionary lists Greenlandic language words under the heading "Greenlandic" but the template provides the word "Kalaallisut". Eievie (talk) 03:46, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
