Why do you find issue with this? If it's because of Wiktionary's supposed policy against redirects, that is for mainspace entries, not templates. We have plenty of useful template redirects and there is absolutely no downside to keeping them. — 2600:4808:9C31:4800:982D:2083:BB23:FD71 16:12, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- It's not a justified redirect. Template redirects need to have a good reason to exist, and generally the trend has been to eliminate them as much as possible, especially in cases like this where the redirect is highly unlikely to ever be used on a major scale. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 16:16, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- What a silly trend. The effort and data expended in going around deleting them is more than whatever that intended to save is. — 2600:4808:9C31:4800:982D:2083:BB23:FD71 16:34, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Etymology
[edit]The name "Mujeet" is not commonly used and does not have a specific cultural or religious association. It is sometimes used by Indian Hindus as a counter-defense when being called "Pajeet," a term often used derogatorily. While "Mujeet" is not an actual word, it was created as a response and has no literal meaning 2404:3100:1003:38CE:1:0:B9BF:48AA 18:49, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- The term has three quotations, which is enough according to our criteria for inclusion to keep it. Do not add your opinions on entries. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 18:57, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

You shouldn't have Blocked me
[edit]Wasn't "The Canterbury Tales" in English? Why would you block me for that? 2603:9000:8100:B539:CC83:72E6:4DB5:C879 21:16, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- No, Wiktionary distinguishes between three stages of English, and what on Wiktionary is called "English" is Modern English, while The Canterbury Tales falls under Middle English. But the main issue is that your edit was done so sloppily that it managed to cut out large parts of the page. In hindsight then, the block summary for "vandalism", and perhaps the block in general, was misjudged on my part, since I doubt it was intentional. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 21:20, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
Talk page help
[edit]Hello, LTAs/socks of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Zjholder, cross-wiki harassing and vandalizing once more. Could my talk page, User talk:Magitroopa, please be deleted once more here? If possible, could my talk page also be protected? I only primarily use main Wikipedia, and all cross-wiki contributions I do (such as this) is usually trying to deal with the constant vandalism against me cross-wiki. These two accounts/socks of theirs also need (global) lock/bans, please:
Thank you. Magitroopa (talk) 02:20, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Magitroopa: your talk page is now auto-confirmed-only protected. Chuck Entz (talk) 05:33, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Boreas
[edit]Hello mr Surjection. Boreas is also the god of Storms, Winter, Loneliness, Solitude, Absence, Lack, Sadness, Depression, Calmness and Serenity. Is there anything I can do to add them??? 2A02:586:1E27:B531:D136:792:E5A2:8C75 11:13, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- Stop adding your made-up nonsense to Wiktionary. You were blocked on Wikipedia for the exact same reason. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 11:15, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
You shouldn't revert my changes in the page of диалект
[edit]i have made an ossetian topic of it, so you shouldn't revert my changes, it hurts my feelings Nail123Real (talk) 17:29, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- Don't add entries if you cannot add the necessary basic information. In general, you should stick to languages you actually speak instead of trying to create entries in every single possible language. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 17:30, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- okay fine Nail123Real (talk) 17:32, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks, just realized the same (needed a definition somewhere). Please check if better now. Also, what do you suggest for the usage notes? Is there a better category to use? MikuChan39 (talk) 20:40, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you mean by categories. Usage notes generally don't use the category system. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 20:49, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
- I think you had originally included "notes on usage" (which is not a valid heading)" in the template on top - I see it's gone now, but it still says clean-up needed. Wondering how to make it better. I think the usage information should be somewhere (other than the talk page) because a lot of casual Coptic manuals (for church use) have this wrong, even though there's really no question on what the correct expression is, from a scholarly perspective. It's about as grating on the ears as: he teached me English. MikuChan39 (talk) 20:54, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
- The bigger issue is that the page doesn't use correct templates, neither for the etymology nor the quotations. However, the usage notes do come across as a bit prescriptive, when WIktionary is a descriptive dictionary. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 20:56, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
- Good point, toned it down a bit (re: prescriptivism). How to fix the templates? We are in the lucky position that the quotes are in the Bible and Sahidic and Bohairic bible editions are available electronically, but how to reference them without a print edition? I plan to do a few more to complement the English phrasebook where Coptic currently has redlinks, so I better learn how to do this correctly :-) MikuChan39 (talk) 21:00, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
- If they are available online, you can use

Jeruk
[edit]Suntingan jeruk kenapa dikembalikan? Jeruk itu pinjaman dari bahasa Jawa. Sedangkan bahasa Indonesia adalah bahasa Melayu itu sendiri. Kalo gak paham sini tak kasih paham.Jawapedia (talk) 16:27, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
Mereko in Urdu
[edit]Hello there. You recently removed my edit on the "ko" article in which the word "Mereko" is shown as only being Deccani Urdu. The use of Mereko is also found in Delhi Urdu as well. Karkhandari (talk) 20:47, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- It should be a new entry (heading) instead of replacing the existing one, unless there's some widely agreed practice to only have Deccani entries for entries that are not found elsewhere in Urdu that I am not aware of. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 20:50, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- The latter would make the most sense as then you would have to duplicate all of Urdu's entries for a single dialect. This is usually how Deccani dictionaries work (ie. only Deccani-specific words are listed). Karkhandari (talk) 03:06, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
