== Spaces between sentences, another attempt ==
[[Abstract Wikipedia:Project chat#Extra spaces between sentences|A month ago]], @[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]]<ref group="spaces3>According to Google Translate, it's pronounced "Nèicún yìchū de māo". Please correct me if it's wrong. When I write, I want to know how are things that I write pronounced aloud, and very unfortunately, I never learned to read Chinese characters, and even if I did, most English speakers probably didn't. Come to think of it, is there a function that ''reliably'' transliterates Chinese characters?<br>@[[User User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] Yes, it is correct. For pinyin transliterations, the only way is lemma-based. I'll also encourage you to read in underrepresented [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varieties_of_Chinese Varieties of Chinese] :-) I am working on them on English Wiktionary. ——[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]] ([[User talk:内存溢出的猫|talk]]) 11:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC)</ref> That discussion doesn't seem to have yielded any fixes or meaningful discussions, at least not that I can see.
[[Abstract Wikipedia:Project chat#Spaces between sentences|Two weeks ago]], I tried to bring up a similar topic, but that discussion somehow got derailed and also didn't yield anything useful.
Now, the problem looks differently, but it's still a problem. When I look at [[Q10251]], for example, what I see is four sentences that ''appear'' with ''no'' spaces between them. Not one, not two—none at all. It looks like this:
:Plasma is a fundamental state of matter.Plasma is a classical state of matter.A plasma is a gas.A plasma is a matter.
Note that I emphasized ''appear'': When I see them rendered on the screen, they have no spaces between them. In the HTML, however, they are represented as four <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code>s, and their inline positioning is handled by CSS. This means, for example, that if I copy and paste them, I don't get a long string with no spaces after full stops, but four sentences with a single line break after each full stop:
<poem>
Plasma is a fundamental state of matter.
Plasma is a classical state of matter.
A plasma is a gas.
A plasma is a matter.
</poem>
This is not how it is supposed to be done. <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code>s are supposed to be used for block elements and not hacked into appearing as if they are inline (also known as phrasing). Spaces between sentences are supposed to be real characters rather than HTML and CSS tricks, they may be different in different languages, and in some languages they may be nothing at all.
I hope that the definition of the problem is clear.

:Hi, have a look at it [[Special:PermanentLink/7132|now]]. Does this match your expectations? I think it's not rendering right now for whatever reason, but there are other examples of it being done this way that you can see: [[Q241691]]. The article renders properly in both English (spaces between sentences) and Japanese (no spaces at all).

:I have some, err, strong opinions about [[User:Immanuelle|Immanuelle]]'s 「Abstract Wikipedia Editor」 tool, which is the predominant cause for all of these very janky and poorly-laid-out articles that you see. This is not how an article ought to be written on Abstract Wikipedia, and I and other editors are aware of this. If you see these problems, please do fix them! The wiki will be all the better for it.

::The output of [[Q241691]] looks OK to me in this regard. How was it done?
::[[Q10251]] gives me an error. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 18:10, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::WikiLambda is doing WikiLambda things. This WASI time limit error happens intermittently on Abstract Wikipedia articles and it usually goes away after a short while. The only thing is that it doesn't really seem like purging these articles does anything to force the orchestrator to retry its evaluation so the article might not render that paragraph until someone comes in and pokes at it by editing it somehow.
:::
:::The working article uses the [[f:Z33068|''paragraph from sentences'']] function to lay out its individual sentence content. This function automatically handles converting any and all text-like objects (strings, HTML fragments, and monolingual text) to a consistent form, so sentence fragments can all be supplied verbatim to its list input. When the function is putting the sentences together it defaults to using a single space to separate them, but first checks if the requested language is in the [[f:Z33984|''languages without spaces between sentences'']] list. If it is, it doesn't add spaces at all, and just concatenates the sentences normally. I hope this explanation makes sense. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 18:19, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
::::It makes some sense, but earlier, you suggested: "If you see these problems, please do fix them", and I'm not entirely sure how to do it. How would I fix it in [[Q100]], for example? [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 19:41, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::In this case you would do the following:
:::::# At the bottom, click the plus and then 「Add empty fragment」.
:::::# Set the function to [[f:Z33068]], as mentioned earlier.
:::::# Now go through each sentence fragment, find the innermost sentence-generation function, click on the three dots, and copy it. Do not copy the calls to [[f:Z29749]] or similar, these are not necessary.
:::::# Go to the ''paragraph with sentences'' function call and add an element to the list.
:::::# Click on the three dots next to the new element, and paste in the earlier sentence fragment.
:::::# You can now delete the original fragment and repeat the process in the same list for the one after it.

::@[[User:Theki|Theki]] I intend on fixing it, I recently made an attempt but the suggested fixes made problems worse. Do you have any practical suggestions of how to structure the templates? I will try to implement them when I have more time.
::Also your name is very confusing, are you in the process of getting it changed wiki-wide? [[User:Immanuelle|Immanuelle]] ([[User talk:Immanuelle|talk]]) 22:36, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::Um, are you referring to my signature not matching my wiki username? I have considered for a long time changing it from ''theki'', but I don't feel like putting in the effort when it seems to be perfectly ignorable for most people. The user 「''Rae''」 can't be usurped because they made, like, two or three articles on the Persian Wikipedia two decades ago or something, I don't know. If that weren't the case I would be User:Rae right now but after that failed to go through I just decided to stop bothering. Maybe at some point I'll come up with a username I'm happy with keeping for the foreseeable future but I have other concerns at the moment.
:::Could you explain how your attempted fixes 「made problems worse」? Presently I side with Feeglgeef's sentiments and prefer to wait for abstract content to actually be feasible to make on a reasonably descriptive scale (see: the type proposals) before I go around making articles willy-nilly, which is what AWE has been doing—making a bunch of pretty low-quality articles on a massive scale when it probably ''really'' would have been better to, err, hold off on that.
:::And I honestly know very little about the actual workings of your editor, I don't really use it nor am I familiar with its template syntax or whatever it may use, so I'm going to look over how it actually works and then get back to you on that. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 23:28, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

::::::{{ping|Immanuelle}} I checked. Your issue is that your editor is not providing the article language to Z33068K2; that is, the ''paragraph from sentences'' function has a second argument, and your editor was omitting it. If you properly specify it, it will work. Please, next time, actually tell me what went wrong instead of going quiet and forcing me to look after it myself. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 17:06, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
:I avoid [[f:Z33068]] for now, because executing a whole paragraph in a single call would often time out. So my current alternative is inserting [[f:Z35672]] between sentences. Fairly clunky, but it works... --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:08, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

===Easier solution?===
Maybe a much easier solution would be to replace the "." after each sentence with ". " (a full stop and a space). The paragraghs might add an extra space, but that is displayed as one by the browser. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]])
:@[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]]: I originally thought this was a bit hacky, but it actually makes sense -- the spacing is determined by punctuation. For example, English [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_spacing#cite_ref-Bringhurst_2004._p.28_4-0 used to have] the convention of using two spaces, Chinese uses no spaces, and in Tibetan, ། marks the end of a short phrase or sentence (still needs a space after it), while ༎ marks the end of a paragraph. (Yes, there's a dedicated paragraph-ending punctuation mark!) This at least matches our current abstraction model well. Also, I don't think this will lead to extra spaces. ——[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]] ([[User talk:内存溢出的猫|talk]]) 11:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
::<nowiki><tangent></nowiki> <em>「Yes, there's a dedicated paragraph-ending punctuation mark!」</em> We English folk have used ¶ for that before, so I don't suppose a paragraph mark in Tibetan is all that unusual... <nowiki></tangent></nowiki> — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 17:25, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
:An unnecessary space in the end of a text, though invisible, cannot be a good idea. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 11:43, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
::I agree. We should not change functions which correctly return sentences into functions which return sentences with spaces stuck to them. {{zd|Z35672}} works well until the performance is good enough for {{zd|Z33068}}. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 12:34, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I think if the current WL system allowed for ''starting'' tags and then ending them at a later indeterminate point, Z33068's performance issues could be perhaps mitigated slightly. One could use a ''start paragraph'' call, followed by some sentences in some well-established form, and then close the paragraph with an ''end paragraph'' call. An issue I've had with paragraphs is that you can't see the paragraph build itself up sentence-by-sentence, and the failure of a ''single'' function call means the inability of the ''entire'' paragraph to render at all—something that would, of course, be fixed by making paragraphs more granular in this way. Something to think about, although I am sure it's not possible presently (since the abstract HTML renderer doesn't build up the document gradually, and instead expects the HTML to be well-formed from the outset). — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 17:28, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
:::: Each fragment is its own div, and you can't do <nowiki><div><p></div><div>[text]</div><div></p></div></nowiki>, it will break the browser's tag grouping. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 18:55, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::Hence why I mentioned that I don't suspect it will be possible. The concept is just something to think about. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 19:34, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
== Translations ==
Yes, this question is probably easily answerable through a Web search, but I thought I'd ask here anyways. I am unfortunately not bilingual... I know Toki Pona, but it's a constructed language. I'd love to be a polyglot of some sorts but that is a future thing. I've been trying to translate pages into tok, for funsies mostly.
At any rate, I want to convert some of the un-translated pages, namely Feeglgeef's policy drafts, into ones that can be translated (and then translate them into Toki Pona of course). I think I have to be a translation administrator for this? Which is a process that I'd have to ''apply'' for, and I doubt I have the credentials to be accepted for such a role. Regardless, is there a way I can go about this without having to do it through someone else? I can probably easily find documentation on marking pages for translation but I don't know how much I'm actually capable of doing as just a regular user. Should I apply? — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 14:15, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:Most of the process of preparing a page for translation can be done by any editor. See [[:mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation example]].
:The step of marking a page or translation for the first time or after changes must be done by a translation administrator.
:I recommend learning the <nowiki><translate> and <tvar></nowiki> syntax and using it on a few pages before applying for this permission. After you do it on a few pages, and you feel confident, and you want to do it more, you can ask for the permission. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 14:28, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
::Just to confirm, did I mark up [[Special:Diff/8138|this page]] for translation properly? I thought to give the hatnote its own <code><translate></code> enclosure so as to exclude the indent and italicization from needing to be included in the translatable text. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 15:10, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:::Mostly properly, but don't exclude <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> for italics from translation. It's generally a good idea to exclude complex markup from translation because it's hard for many people to type, and it usually stays the same in translation anyway. <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> for italics is different, however: it's very simple to type and familiar to most editors; italic letters are used differently in different languages, and in some languages they aren't used at all, so translators need the freedom to use them appropriately; this markup can also appear in the middle of a translation unit and not only in the ends. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 15:35, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Thank you for the guidance. Should the italics be included if they are used over the entire hatnote? I figure that placement of italics should be left up to the discretion of the translators, but the hatnote itself is meant to be entirely italicized, I would think irrespective of the language it's in. Is this the right idea or should they still be kept within the translation unit? — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 15:45, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::Yes, italics should be included in the translation unit if they are used over the entire hatnote. Some languages don't use italic writing at all, so it shouldn't be forced. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 18:36, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:I'd support a translation administrator request ;), for reasons below. I'm not sure why we need a seperate translation administrator right, or why we have to call it an "administrator" (deciding that a page could be translated is a much less important role than, say, page deletion, or blocking). We picked three of them (well, one of them went through the WMF, so we picked two), [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=pagetranslation&user=&page=&excludetempacct=1&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%5B%5D=newusers&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist they don't appear very active, though], only marking 9 times this month, zero (0) of which were for pages marked for the first time. Both community translation admins used their global history and rights to get the role and only stop by occasionally, so having one who ''actually'' edits here would be nice.

::This reply echos my philosophy of a sort of wiki-[[Q166005|xenophobia]] (the term xenophobia is probably too harsh, and I wouldn't consider myself one in real life, but it's the best word I can think of), I generally distrust users with a lot of global rights (both global sysop etc. and large amounts of local rights) who come make [[m:Metapedianism|metapedian]] contributions, not as people but to their ability to handle Wikifunctions and Abstract Wikipedia as incredibly unique and technically complex projects.

:::You don't bother me, it's fine. I think they definitely have a place, they can be useful and they usually are. Obviously local admins and what have you that earned their roles through the trust and reputation of the specific community they are in are going to occupy a more trusting position in my mind than a global sysop or global ''anything''. Specialized role members are good and healthy in the long term; I think we are giving these privileges to global users sparingly as the project is still in its infancy and as core contributors emerge and take up key positions we will have a more well-rounded and self-sustaining community with less global privileges needed to take up certain tasks. Wikifunctions probably needed some Foundation members or other staff to act as functioneers initially while the general community was still orienting themselves with WikiLambda and working on applying for the role, but now we have [[f:Special:ListUsers/functioneer|74(!) of them]] and the number of normal members using their specialized skills outnumbers those who were "grandfathered" in (for lack of a better term) or similar. The wiki is young—it just needs time. I myself have been considering applying for sysop privileges since they are obviously needed (there being exactly Zero of them at the moment); I've been weighing the pros and cons of such a commitment, it's obviously a lot to take up. I wish your sysop request went through, I think you would have made a great admin here. I'm unsure of what others think of my capabilities, I'm rather in-and-out around these social spaces so I don't know if there's much to go off of. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 15:55, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Totally agree, and I'd support a sysopship request as well, though I'm apparently not good at assessing what the community considers supportable in admin candidate ;).
::::Off-topic, but interestingly, the sysop toolset allows you to grant yourself translation adminship. I'm not sure if sysops are expected not to grant themselves the permissions (kind of like how on enwiki 'crats are expected not grant themselves any rights without discussion despite having the technical rights), but I did it to myself on WF because [https://www.wikifunctions.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=84940 another sysop had]. Additionally, the functioneer right [[Special:ListGroupRights#functioneer|exists on this wiki]], with the same rights on WF, despite all of them not doing anything on this wiki. I believe this is because, on the technical side, both AW and WF are powered by the same MediaWiki extension (Wikilambda), with one wiki set to a mode for abstract articles and another set to a mode for ZObjects. [https://dag.wikipedia.org/wiki/Di%C5%8B%27gahim:ListGroupRights#functioneer Checking the Dagbani Wikipedia] supports this theory.

== Policy drafts ==
Hi all! I've written some draft policies and guidelines over the last few days. We're not a bureaucracy, so the point is not to set some rules but to kick off some discussions as to how our wiki will work.
So far, I've created:
* [[Abstract Wikipedia:Notability|a notability guideline]]
* [[Abstract Wikipedia:Deletion policy|a deletion policy]]
I've written them as my opinion on what should happen, but I'm hoping to align them with community consensus as we discuss them more. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 13:44, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

== To abstract Wikipedia or be the Abstract Wikipedia ==
There is a discussion happening about what the [[Abstract Wikipedia:Notability|notability criteria]] for Abstract Wikipedia should be, and in trying to participate I've found my idea of Abstract Wikipedia is awfully abstract. Is Abstract Wikipedia supposed to abstract Wikipedia, as in abstracting information from existing articles on the language Wikipedias (barring new contributions), or is it supposed to become the Abstract Wikipedia, supporting collaboration across all languages like it's the language Wikipedia to end all language Wikipedias (allowing new contributions)? I thought the answer would be obvious, but the name Abstract Wikipedia is a bit ambiguous. Am I missing something? [[User:Some helpful person|Some helpful person]] ([[User talk:Some helpful person|talk]]) 02:16, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
:I think ({{ping|DVrandecic (WMF)|p=?}}) the idea is (and I personally prefer) the latter. I believe that, given the fact that it's much easier to write a concrete article than an abstract article, and the fact that the community of potential future contributors on enwiki is skeptical ''at best'', we ultimately will never expand beyond the size of other wikis, but I see no problem with allowing volunteers to add information not on other wikis (it's probably not the most effective, but they're volunteers, beggars can't be choosers), as long as it's not vandalism, useless, or promotional slop. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 02:31, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Some helpful person|Some helpful person]] Abstract Wikipedia is a Wikipedia, where people can collaborate across languages on articles, which can then be used to fill gaps in the existing Wikipedias. Whereas I expect that current Wikipedia articles might be used as a convenient starting point for many of the articles in Abstract Wikipedia, this is more a consequence of Wikipedia being one of the best places to go to to find reliable knowledge, but that is not part of how it is supposed to work. So, this is not to abstract the existing Wikipedias, but to collaborate on an Abstract Wikipedia. At no point is this meant to replace existing Wikipedias.

== Marking NLG Default text ==
Some NLG functions give default texts, like [[f:Z33420|Z33420]] will give text like "Paris ∈ {city}". sometimes in other languages the English text is show. Currently there is no visual clue that these texts are not normal text in the requested language. I propose we mark these text with color <span style="color:magenta;">Paris ∈ {city}</span> with something like <nowiki><span style="color:magenta;">Paris ∈ {city}</span></nowiki>. To have this configurable/maintainable this could be included in a function, called NLG default text or so, with a text as input an a text in color as output. The exact formatting like magenta color or gray background or something else can be discussed/decided later. To have it even more configurable on personal stylesheets it could use a class like <nowiki><span class="NLG Default text">Paris ∈ {city}</span></nowiki>. What do you think? Could somebody make such a function already? [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 12:00, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
:The are technically just monolingual texts in a language called "multiple languages". I threw a prototype together really quickly, [[f:Z35839]].

The test for the function with default text now fails because it now is in magenta color. That was to be expected. I will leave the tests unchanged if that is OK with you, as we might need to change the exact formatting.

== Questions on a simple fragment example "The Eiffel Tower is a monument" ==
Moved from [[f:Wikifunctions:Project chat]]
Hello. I would like to be able to use the function [[f:Z26039]] to generate sentences like "the Eiffel Tower is a monument" or "la torre Eiffel es un monumento" in Spanish. It already raises a lot of questions.
Question 1: I should be able to set the first input "entity" to {{Q|Q243}} and the second input "class" to {{Q|Q4989906}} and get the correct sentence, shouldn't I? Just checking.
Question 2: [[f:Z26039]] calls a language-specific function like "Spanish article-less instantiating sentence" [[f:Z26337]], which uses the label of the Wikidata item to get the text for "Eiffel Tower", which is similar to the lemma of the lexeme. But this would not be acceptable in production, would it? The item label "belongs" to all Wikidata users, not to Abstract Wikipedia users, and there is no guarantee what it might contain, such as a parenthesis for disambiguation. Or am I wrong?
Question 3a: We need to have a lexeme for the combination "Eiffel Tower" in each language, don't we? For instance in languages with gender, the lexeme is the only place to find the gender. It is true that if we know that the equivalent of "Tower" is the head word, syntactical information can be found under the lexeme for "tower", and it would be good to use a system like that. But the only place that the syntactic dependency information could be located is under the lexeme.
Question 3b: At present for [[f:Z26039]] etc. to work, we have to add any forms or syntax information to the lexeme of the whole phrase, such as "Eiffel Tower". But property {{Q|P5238}} with attributes {{Q|P9763}} and {{Q|P9764}} can be used to define the structure and avoid duplicating the syntax information. What lexeme would be used for "Eiffel" in this case? Would it be the same as a lexeme for {{Q|Q20882}}? That makes no sense to me. I propose that there should be a dummy lexeme in each language which could be added to {{Q|P5238}} instead of a real lexeme to mean "invariant element".
Question 4: As has already been pointed out elsewhere, the fragment functions do not work well with the initial definite article in languages like English, Spanish and German. Examples:
* "'''The Eiffel Tower is a monument.'''" The item label "Eiffel Tower" omits the article and so the result omits the initial "The" in English. French, Spanish and German are similar.
* "'''The Sun is a star.'''" Similarly the article is wrongly omitted, also in French, Spanish and German.
* "'''Westminster Abbey is a monument.'''" This is OK in English and German as no article is needed, but not in French or Spanish where it is, for instance "La Abadía de Westminster es un monumento".
* "'''Latin is a dead language.'''" Also this is OK in English and German but not in French or Spanish, where an article is needed.
* "'''Jupiter is a planet.'''". This does not need an article and is OK in all the languages; I include this to show that you cannot assume that there is an article in all cases in French and Spanish.
How should the language functions find out whether an article is needed? In some cases, where the lemma is a phrase like "Abadía de Westminster" in Spanish, I think that it could be deduced, but in general there is no rule to give the answer. Using different rendering functions according to the case is '''not''' a solution, although it might work for a few specific languages like these four. It would not be acceptable because there will be many, many other cases of syntactical choices to be made for all the different languages, and we cannot expect the person writing the abstract code to take them all into account. So I suppose that a declaration in the lexeme is needed to solve this problem. I suppose that there must already be linguistic terminology for this problem, but I don't know it.
I would be grateful for any comments on any of these questions. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 15:02, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] I will try to answer a few of your questions, although I am not linguist.
::@[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] Thanks for your answer. I will add my comments in your answers below. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 18:42, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
:1. Yes I agree the correct inputs for "entity" is {{Q|243}} and the second input "class" is {{Q|4989906}}.
:2. In case no lexeme information is needed (for gender or so) the Wikidata label of {{Q|243}} should be OK. Labels in Wikidata don't contain parentheses for disambiguation. For instance there are many cities called Amsterdam like {{Q|478456}}. {{Q|959016}} and {{Q|727}}
:: Well I sometimes add disambiguation parentheses in the case of taxonomic items, for instance I use the label "Sphaerodes (fungus)" because the genus name ''Sphaerodes'' is both a fungus and an insect. As far as I know, it is allowed to add a parenthesis like this to the label. When selecting the item this is not needed, since the description is also visible, but when looking at the genus name on the page, one would not be able to tell whether the link goes to the fungus or the insect, and sometimes such links get muddled up. If there should be a rule that the label must be the same as the lemma text, then I think that needs to be agreed and publicized.
:3a. In case gender is needed, for example for gender for La Abadía de Westminster I think we need lexemes
:: Yes, so it seems to me that this means that for languages like French and German, every single item needs a lexeme. On the other hand, in a separate conversation it was suggested to me that genders might be established programmatically, and the lexeme would only be needed in exceptional cases. This seems to require an architecture which is different from what I was expecting, and certainly not available at present for the fragment examples (surely the logic will be too complicated for composition code alone). Even in English, many items may need to be used in the plural; the rendering function will need to find the plural of the given item. It can execute a heuristic function (add "s", change "y" to "ies", etc.), and a lexeme is only needed if the label word is "irregular". But note that it has to query the lexeme every single time to see if one exists, in which case it must take precedence.
:3b. I don't know what you mean, so I can't answer that.
::It is a detailed question about how to fill in the attributes of {{Q|P5238}}.
:4. You are right some examples like Sun is a star" are incorrect and need an article for some languages/some lemmma. I don't know if there is a linguistic terminology or Lexeme property that would indicate it needs an initial definite article.
:::Yes. In fact, the strange thing for me is rather that in encyclopedia entries, the article is omitted in the article heading. For instance, in the examples above if the English labels were given as "The Eiffel Tower" and "The Sun", and similarly in the other languages, the fragment examples would work and where would be the problem? In paper encyclopedias, this would mean that many entries would come together under "The". Anyway, I don't think this can be changed and so a property is needed. I would have thought that the property would have to be on a lexeme object.
:: On {{Q|727}} in English the noun Netherlands has an additional "the" in English. This is added by [[f:Z32645]] item indicates definite article, English. Functions should be created for each language, and added to the appropriate sentences. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 11:58, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
:::Oh, Z32645 is interesting. The two implementations are very different, aren't they? The function doesn't work for "Eiffel Tower", but the first implementation could do if "the Eiffel Tower" were an alias. That could be instead of the lexeme property(?) But if we are imposing conventions like that, I suppose we need to talk to other Wikidata users.
:Even for western languages there are a lot of different rules; What about the many other languages in the world. All this makes it a real challenge. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 22:04, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

== Spaces between sentences, another attempt ==
[[Abstract Wikipedia:Project chat#Extra spaces between sentences|A month ago]], @[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]]<ref group="spaces3>According to Google Translate, it's pronounced "Nèicún yìchū de māo". Please correct me if it's wrong. When I write, I want to know how are things that I write pronounced aloud, and very unfortunately, I never learned to read Chinese characters, and even if I did, most English speakers probably didn't. Come to think of it, is there a function that ''reliably'' transliterates Chinese characters?<br>@[[User User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] Yes, it is correct. For pinyin transliterations, the only way is lemma-based. I'll also encourage you to read in underrepresented [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varieties_of_Chinese Varieties of Chinese] :-) I am working on them on English Wiktionary. ——[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]] ([[User talk:内存溢出的猫|talk]]) 11:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC)</ref> That discussion doesn't seem to have yielded any fixes or meaningful discussions, at least not that I can see.
[[Abstract Wikipedia:Project chat#Spaces between sentences|Two weeks ago]], I tried to bring up a similar topic, but that discussion somehow got derailed and also didn't yield anything useful.
Now, the problem looks differently, but it's still a problem. When I look at [[Q10251]], for example, what I see is four sentences that ''appear'' with ''no'' spaces between them. Not one, not two—none at all. It looks like this:
:Plasma is a fundamental state of matter.Plasma is a classical state of matter.A plasma is a gas.A plasma is a matter.
Note that I emphasized ''appear'': When I see them rendered on the screen, they have no spaces between them. In the HTML, however, they are represented as four <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code>s, and their inline positioning is handled by CSS. This means, for example, that if I copy and paste them, I don't get a long string with no spaces after full stops, but four sentences with a single line break after each full stop:
<poem>
Plasma is a fundamental state of matter.
Plasma is a classical state of matter.
A plasma is a gas.
A plasma is a matter.
</poem>
This is not how it is supposed to be done. <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code>s are supposed to be used for block elements and not hacked into appearing as if they are inline (also known as phrasing). Spaces between sentences are supposed to be real characters rather than HTML and CSS tricks, they may be different in different languages, and in some languages they may be nothing at all.
I hope that the definition of the problem is clear.

:Hi, have a look at it [[Special:PermanentLink/7132|now]]. Does this match your expectations? I think it's not rendering right now for whatever reason, but there are other examples of it being done this way that you can see: [[Q241691]]. The article renders properly in both English (spaces between sentences) and Japanese (no spaces at all).

:I have some, err, strong opinions about [[User:Immanuelle|Immanuelle]]'s 「Abstract Wikipedia Editor」 tool, which is the predominant cause for all of these very janky and poorly-laid-out articles that you see.

::The output of [[Q241691]] looks OK to me in this regard. How was it done?
::[[Q10251]] gives me an error. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 18:10, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::WikiLambda is doing WikiLambda things. This WASI time limit error happens intermittently on Abstract Wikipedia articles and it usually goes away after a short while. The only thing is that it doesn't really seem like purging these articles does anything to force the orchestrator to retry its evaluation so the article might not render that paragraph until someone comes in and pokes at it by editing it somehow.
:::
:::The working article uses the [[f:Z33068|''paragraph from sentences'']] function to lay out its individual sentence content. This function automatically handles converting any and all text-like objects (strings, HTML fragments, and monolingual text) to a consistent form, so sentence fragments can all be supplied verbatim to its list input. When the function is putting the sentences together it defaults to using a single space to separate them, but first checks if the requested language is in the [[f:Z33984|''languages without spaces between sentences'']] list. If it is, it doesn't add spaces at all, and just concatenates the sentences normally. I hope this explanation makes sense. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 18:19, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
::::It makes some sense, but earlier, you suggested: "If you see these problems, please do fix them", and I'm not entirely sure how to do it. How would I fix it in [[Q100]], for example? [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 19:41, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::In this case you would do the following:
:::::# At the bottom, click the plus and then 「Add empty fragment」.
:::::# Set the function to [[f:Z33068]], as mentioned earlier.
:::::# Now go through each sentence fragment, find the innermost sentence-generation function, click on the three dots, and copy it. Do not copy the calls to [[f:Z29749]] or similar, these are not necessary.
:::::# Go to the ''paragraph with sentences'' function call and add an element to the list.
:::::# Click on the three dots next to the new element, and paste in the earlier sentence fragment.
:::::# You can now delete the original fragment and repeat the process in the same list for the one after it.

::@[[User:Theki|Theki]] I intend on fixing it, I recently made an attempt but the suggested fixes made problems worse. Do you have any practical suggestions of how to structure the templates? I will try to implement them when I have more time.
::Also your name is very confusing, are you in the process of getting it changed wiki-wide? [[User:Immanuelle|Immanuelle]] ([[User talk:Immanuelle|talk]]) 22:36, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::Um, are you referring to my signature not matching my wiki username? I have considered for a long time changing it from ''theki'', but I don't feel like putting in the effort when it seems to be perfectly ignorable for most people. The user 「''Rae''」 can't be usurped because they made, like, two or three articles on the Persian Wikipedia two decades ago or something, I don't know. If that weren't the case I would be User:Rae right now but after that failed to go through I just decided to stop bothering. Maybe at some point I'll come up with a username I'm happy with keeping for the foreseeable future but I have other concerns at the moment.
:::Could you explain how your attempted fixes 「made problems worse」? Presently I side with Feeglgeef's sentiments and prefer to wait for abstract content to actually be feasible to make on a reasonably descriptive scale (see: the type proposals) before I go around making articles willy-nilly, which is what AWE has been doing—making a bunch of pretty low-quality articles on a massive scale when it probably ''really'' would have been better to, err, hold off on that.

::::::{{ping|Immanuelle}} I checked. Your issue is that your editor is not providing the article language to Z33068K2; that is, the ''paragraph from sentences'' function has a second argument, and your editor was omitting it. If you properly specify it, it will work. Please, next time, actually tell me what went wrong instead of going quiet and forcing me to look after it myself. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 17:06, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
:I avoid [[f:Z33068]] for now, because executing a whole paragraph in a single call would often time out. So my current alternative is inserting [[f:Z35672]] between sentences. Fairly clunky, but it works... --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 06:08, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

===Easier solution?===
Maybe a much easier solution would be to replace the "." after each sentence with ". " (a full stop and a space). The paragraghs might add an extra space, but that is displayed as one by the browser. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]])
:@[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]]: I originally thought this was a bit hacky, but it actually makes sense -- the spacing is determined by punctuation. For example, English [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_spacing#cite_ref-Bringhurst_2004._p.28_4-0 used to have] the convention of using two spaces, Chinese uses no spaces, and in Tibetan, ། marks the end of a short phrase or sentence (still needs a space after it), while ༎ marks the end of a paragraph. (Yes, there's a dedicated paragraph-ending punctuation mark!) This at least matches our current abstraction model well. Also, I don't think this will lead to extra spaces. ——[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]] ([[User talk:内存溢出的猫|talk]]) 11:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
::<nowiki><tangent></nowiki> <em>「Yes, there's a dedicated paragraph-ending punctuation mark!」</em> We English folk have used ¶ for that before, so I don't suppose a paragraph mark in Tibetan is all that unusual... <nowiki></tangent></nowiki> — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 17:25, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
:An unnecessary space in the end of a text, though invisible, cannot be a good idea. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 11:43, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
::I agree. We should not change functions which correctly return sentences into functions which return sentences with spaces stuck to them. {{zd|Z35672}} works well until the performance is good enough for {{zd|Z33068}}. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 12:34, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I think if the current WL system allowed for ''starting'' tags and then ending them at a later indeterminate point, Z33068's performance issues could be perhaps mitigated slightly. One could use a ''start paragraph'' call, followed by some sentences in some well-established form, and then close the paragraph with an ''end paragraph'' call. An issue I've had with paragraphs is that you can't see the paragraph build itself up sentence-by-sentence, and the failure of a ''single'' function call means the inability of the ''entire'' paragraph to render at all—something that would, of course, be fixed by making paragraphs more granular in this way. Something to think about, although I am sure it's not possible presently (since the abstract HTML renderer doesn't build up the document gradually, and instead expects the HTML to be well-formed from the outset). — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 17:28, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
:::: Each fragment is its own div, and you can't do <nowiki><div><p></div><div>[text]</div><div></p></div></nowiki>, it will break the browser's tag grouping. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 18:55, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::Hence why I mentioned that I don't suspect it will be possible. The concept is just something to think about. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 19:34, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
== Translations ==
Yes, this question is probably easily answerable through a Web search, but I thought I'd ask here anyways. I am unfortunately not bilingual... I know Toki Pona, but it's a constructed language. I'd love to be a polyglot of some sorts but that is a future thing. I've been trying to translate pages into tok, for funsies mostly.
At any rate, I want to convert some of the un-translated pages, namely Feeglgeef's policy drafts, into ones that can be translated (and then translate them into Toki Pona of course). I think I have to be a translation administrator for this? Which is a process that I'd have to ''apply'' for, and I doubt I have the credentials to be accepted for such a role. Regardless, is there a way I can go about this without having to do it through someone else? I can probably easily find documentation on marking pages for translation but I don't know how much I'm actually capable of doing as just a regular user. Should I apply? — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 14:15, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:Most of the process of preparing a page for translation can be done by any editor. See [[:mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation example]].
:The step of marking a page or translation for the first time or after changes must be done by a translation administrator.
:I recommend learning the <nowiki><translate> and <tvar></nowiki> syntax and using it on a few pages before applying for this permission. After you do it on a few pages, and you feel confident, and you want to do it more, you can ask for the permission. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 14:28, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
::Just to confirm, did I mark up [[Special:Diff/8138|this page]] for translation properly? I thought to give the hatnote its own <code><translate></code> enclosure so as to exclude the indent and italicization from needing to be included in the translatable text. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 15:10, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:::Mostly properly, but don't exclude <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> for italics from translation. It's generally a good idea to exclude complex markup from translation because it's hard for many people to type, and it usually stays the same in translation anyway. <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> for italics is different, however: it's very simple to type and familiar to most editors; italic letters are used differently in different languages, and in some languages they aren't used at all, so translators need the freedom to use them appropriately; this markup can also appear in the middle of a translation unit and not only in the ends. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 15:35, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Thank you for the guidance. Should the italics be included if they are used over the entire hatnote? I figure that placement of italics should be left up to the discretion of the translators, but the hatnote itself is meant to be entirely italicized, I would think irrespective of the language it's in. Is this the right idea or should they still be kept within the translation unit? — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 15:45, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::Yes, italics should be included in the translation unit if they are used over the entire hatnote. Some languages don't use italic writing at all, so it shouldn't be forced. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 18:36, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:I'd support a translation administrator request ;), for reasons below. I'm not sure why we need a seperate translation administrator right, or why we have to call it an "administrator" (deciding that a page could be translated is a much less important role than, say, page deletion, or blocking). We picked three of them (well, one of them went through the WMF, so we picked two), [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=pagetranslation&user=&page=&excludetempacct=1&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%5B%5D=newusers&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist they don't appear very active, though], only marking 9 times this month, zero (0) of which were for pages marked for the first time.

:::You don't bother me, it's fine. I think they definitely have a place, they can be useful and they usually are. Obviously local admins and what have you that earned their roles through the trust and reputation of the specific community they are in are going to occupy a more trusting position in my mind than a global sysop or global ''anything''. Specialized role members are good and healthy in the long term; I think we are giving these privileges to global users sparingly as the project is still in its infancy and as core contributors emerge and take up key positions we will have a more well-rounded and self-sustaining community with less global privileges needed to take up certain tasks. Wikifunctions probably needed some Foundation members or other staff to act as functioneers initially while the general community was still orienting themselves with WikiLambda and working on applying for the role, but now we have [[f:Special:ListUsers/functioneer|74(!) of them]] and the number of normal members using their specialized skills outnumbers those who were "grandfathered" in (for lack of a better term) or similar. The wiki is young—it just needs time. I myself have been considering applying for sysop privileges since they are obviously needed (there being exactly Zero of them at the moment); I've been weighing the pros and cons of such a commitment, it's obviously a lot to take up. I wish your sysop request went through, I think you would have made a great admin here.

::::Totally agree, and I'd support a sysopship request as well, though I'm apparently not good at assessing what the community considers supportable in admin candidate ;).
::::Off-topic, but interestingly, the sysop toolset allows you to grant yourself translation adminship.

Additionally, the functioneer right [[Special:ListGroupRights#functioneer|exists on this wiki]], with the same rights on WF, despite all of them not doing anything on this wiki. I believe this is because, on the technical side, both AW and WF are powered by the same MediaWiki extension (Wikilambda), with one wiki set to a mode for abstract articles and another set to a mode for ZObjects. [https://dag.wikipedia.org/wiki/Di%C5%8B%27gahim:ListGroupRights#functioneer Checking the Dagbani Wikipedia] supports this theory.

== Policy drafts ==
Hi all! I've written some draft policies and guidelines over the last few days. We're not a bureaucracy, so the point is not to set some rules but to kick off some discussions as to how our wiki will work.
So far, I've created:
* [[Abstract Wikipedia:Notability|a notability guideline]]
* [[Abstract Wikipedia:Deletion policy|a deletion policy]]
I've written them as my opinion on what should happen, but I'm hoping to align them with community consensus as we discuss them more. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 13:44, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

== To abstract Wikipedia or be the Abstract Wikipedia ==
There is a discussion happening about what the [[Abstract Wikipedia:Notability|notability criteria]] for Abstract Wikipedia should be, and in trying to participate I've found my idea of Abstract Wikipedia is awfully abstract. Is Abstract Wikipedia supposed to abstract Wikipedia, as in abstracting information from existing articles on the language Wikipedias (barring new contributions), or is it supposed to become the Abstract Wikipedia, supporting collaboration across all languages like it's the language Wikipedia to end all language Wikipedias (allowing new contributions)? I thought the answer would be obvious, but the name Abstract Wikipedia is a bit ambiguous. Am I missing something? [[User:Some helpful person|Some helpful person]] ([[User talk:Some helpful person|talk]]) 02:16, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
:I think ({{ping|DVrandecic (WMF)|p=?}}) the idea is (and I personally prefer) the latter. I believe that, given the fact that it's much easier to write a concrete article than an abstract article, and the fact that the community of potential future contributors on enwiki is skeptical ''at best'', we ultimately will never expand beyond the size of other wikis, but I see no problem with allowing volunteers to add information not on other wikis (it's probably not the most effective, but they're volunteers, beggars can't be choosers), as long as it's not vandalism, useless, or promotional slop. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 02:31, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Some helpful person|Some helpful person]] Abstract Wikipedia is a Wikipedia, where people can collaborate across languages on articles, which can then be used to fill gaps in the existing Wikipedias. Whereas I expect that current Wikipedia articles might be used as a convenient starting point for many of the articles in Abstract Wikipedia, this is more a consequence of Wikipedia being one of the best places to go to to find reliable knowledge, but that is not part of how it is supposed to work. So, this is not to abstract the existing Wikipedias, but to collaborate on an Abstract Wikipedia. At no point is this meant to replace existing Wikipedias.

== Marking NLG Default text ==
Some NLG functions give default texts, like [[f:Z33420|Z33420]] will give text like "Paris ∈ {city}". sometimes in other languages the English text is show. Currently there is no visual clue that these texts are not normal text in the requested language. I propose we mark these text with color <span style="color:magenta;">Paris ∈ {city}</span> with something like <nowiki><span style="color:magenta;">Paris ∈ {city}</span></nowiki>. To have this configurable/maintainable this could be included in a function, called NLG default text or so, with a text as input an a text in color as output. The exact formatting like magenta color or gray background or something else can be discussed/decided later. To have it even more configurable on personal stylesheets it could use a class like <nowiki><span class="NLG Default text">Paris ∈ {city}</span></nowiki>. What do you think? Could somebody make such a function already? [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 12:00, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
:The are technically just monolingual texts in a language called "multiple languages". I threw a prototype together really quickly, [[f:Z35839]].

The test for the function with default text now fails because it now is in magenta color. That was to be expected.

== Questions on a simple fragment example "The Eiffel Tower is a monument" ==
Moved from [[f:Wikifunctions:Project chat]]
Hello. I would like to be able to use the function [[f:Z26039]] to generate sentences like "the Eiffel Tower is a monument" or "la torre Eiffel es un monumento" in Spanish. It already raises a lot of questions.
Question 1: I should be able to set the first input "entity" to {{Q|Q243}} and the second input "class" to {{Q|Q4989906}} and get the correct sentence, shouldn't I? Just checking.
Question 2: [[f:Z26039]] calls a language-specific function like "Spanish article-less instantiating sentence" [[f:Z26337]], which uses the label of the Wikidata item to get the text for "Eiffel Tower", which is similar to the lemma of the lexeme. But this would not be acceptable in production, would it? The item label "belongs" to all Wikidata users, not to Abstract Wikipedia users, and there is no guarantee what it might contain, such as a parenthesis for disambiguation. Or am I wrong?
Question 3a: We need to have a lexeme for the combination "Eiffel Tower" in each language, don't we? For instance in languages with gender, the lexeme is the only place to find the gender. It is true that if we know that the equivalent of "Tower" is the head word, syntactical information can be found under the lexeme for "tower", and it would be good to use a system like that. But the only place that the syntactic dependency information could be located is under the lexeme.
Question 3b: At present for [[f:Z26039]] etc. to work, we have to add any forms or syntax information to the lexeme of the whole phrase, such as "Eiffel Tower". But property {{Q|P5238}} with attributes {{Q|P9763}} and {{Q|P9764}} can be used to define the structure and avoid duplicating the syntax information. What lexeme would be used for "Eiffel" in this case? Would it be the same as a lexeme for {{Q|Q20882}}? That makes no sense to me. I propose that there should be a dummy lexeme in each language which could be added to {{Q|P5238}} instead of a real lexeme to mean "invariant element".
Question 4: As has already been pointed out elsewhere, the fragment functions do not work well with the initial definite article in languages like English, Spanish and German. Examples:
* "'''The Eiffel Tower is a monument.'''" The item label "Eiffel Tower" omits the article and so the result omits the initial "The" in English. French, Spanish and German are similar.
* "'''The Sun is a star.'''" Similarly the article is wrongly omitted, also in French, Spanish and German.
* "'''Westminster Abbey is a monument.'''" This is OK in English and German as no article is needed, but not in French or Spanish where it is, for instance "La Abadía de Westminster es un monumento".
* "'''Latin is a dead language.'''" Also this is OK in English and German but not in French or Spanish, where an article is needed.
* "'''Jupiter is a planet.'''". This does not need an article and is OK in all the languages; I include this to show that you cannot assume that there is an article in all cases in French and Spanish.
How should the language functions find out whether an article is needed? In some cases, where the lemma is a phrase like "Abadía de Westminster" in Spanish, I think that it could be deduced, but in general there is no rule to give the answer. Using different rendering functions according to the case is '''not''' a solution, although it might work for a few specific languages like these four. It would not be acceptable because there will be many, many other cases of syntactical choices to be made for all the different languages, and we cannot expect the person writing the abstract code to take them all into account. So I suppose that a declaration in the lexeme is needed to solve this problem. I suppose that there must already be linguistic terminology for this problem, but I don't know it.
I would be grateful for any comments on any of these questions. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 15:02, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] I will try to answer a few of your questions, although I am not linguist.
::@[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] Thanks for your answer. I will add my comments in your answers below. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 18:42, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
:1. Yes I agree the correct inputs for "entity" is {{Q|243}} and the second input "class" is {{Q|4989906}}.
:2. In case no lexeme information is needed (for gender or so) the Wikidata label of {{Q|243}} should be OK. Labels in Wikidata don't contain parentheses for disambiguation. For instance there are many cities called Amsterdam like {{Q|478456}}. {{Q|959016}} and {{Q|727}}
:: Well I sometimes add disambiguation parentheses in the case of taxonomic items, for instance I use the label "Sphaerodes (fungus)" because the genus name ''Sphaerodes'' is both a fungus and an insect. As far as I know, it is allowed to add a parenthesis like this to the label. When selecting the item this is not needed, since the description is also visible, but when looking at the genus name on the page, one would not be able to tell whether the link goes to the fungus or the insect, and sometimes such links get muddled up. If there should be a rule that the label must be the same as the lemma text, then I think that needs to be agreed and publicized.
:3a. In case gender is needed, for example for gender for La Abadía de Westminster I think we need lexemes
:: Yes, so it seems to me that this means that for languages like French and German, every single item needs a lexeme. On the other hand, in a separate conversation it was suggested to me that genders might be established programmatically, and the lexeme would only be needed in exceptional cases. This seems to require an architecture which is different from what I was expecting, and certainly not available at present for the fragment examples (surely the logic will be too complicated for composition code alone). Even in English, many items may need to be used in the plural; the rendering function will need to find the plural of the given item. It can execute a heuristic function (add "s", change "y" to "ies", etc.), and a lexeme is only needed if the label word is "irregular". But note that it has to query the lexeme every single time to see if one exists, in which case it must take precedence.
:3b. I don't know what you mean, so I can't answer that.
::It is a detailed question about how to fill in the attributes of {{Q|P5238}}.
:4. You are right some examples like Sun is a star" are incorrect and need an article for some languages/some lemmma. I don't know if there is a linguistic terminology or Lexeme property that would indicate it needs an initial definite article.
:::Yes. In fact, the strange thing for me is rather that in encyclopedia entries, the article is omitted in the article heading. For instance, in the examples above if the English labels were given as "The Eiffel Tower" and "The Sun", and similarly in the other languages, the fragment examples would work and where would be the problem? In paper encyclopedias, this would mean that many entries would come together under "The". Anyway, I don't think this can be changed and so a property is needed. I would have thought that the property would have to be on a lexeme object.
:: On {{Q|727}} in English the noun Netherlands has an additional "the" in English. This is added by [[f:Z32645]] item indicates definite article, English. Functions should be created for each language, and added to the appropriate sentences. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 11:58, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
:::Oh, Z32645 is interesting. The two implementations are very different, aren't they? The function doesn't work for "Eiffel Tower", but the first implementation could do if "the Eiffel Tower" were an alias. That could be instead of the lexeme property(?) But if we are imposing conventions like that, I suppose we need to talk to other Wikidata users.
:Even for western languages there are a lot of different rules; What about the many other languages in the world. All this makes it a real challenge. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 22:04, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

:::::I am guilty of not getting around to commenting on the status update discussion - there is always more that I want to say before publishing. Now I will try to keep my edits small.
:::::My view was that a lexeme would be necessary almost for every item in every language, but in the meeting it was argued that often syntactic information could be found through programmatic "rules of thumb", and that in that way, lexemes would be needed only in cases of irregularity. Note that it is still necessary to search for the lexeme properties in every case; the programmatic rules would only apply if the lexeme property is missing.
:::::My main comment now is that a programmatic approach is too complicated for doing everything by composition and so we urgently need to be able to call functions from Python/Javascript.

== Spaces between sentences, another attempt ==
[[Abstract Wikipedia:Project chat#Extra spaces between sentences|A month ago]], @[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]]<ref group="spaces3>According to Google Translate, it's pronounced "Nèicún yìchū de māo". Please correct me if it's wrong. When I write, I want to know how are things that I write pronounced aloud, and very unfortunately, I never learned to read Chinese characters, and even if I did, most English speakers probably didn't. Come to think of it, is there a function that ''reliably'' transliterates Chinese characters?<br>@[[User User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] Yes, it is correct. For pinyin transliterations, the only way is lemma-based. I'll also encourage you to read in underrepresented [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varieties_of_Chinese Varieties of Chinese] :-) I am working on them on English Wiktionary. ——[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]] ([[User talk:内存溢出的猫|talk]]) 11:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC)</ref> That discussion doesn't seem to have yielded any fixes or meaningful discussions, at least not that I can see.
[[Abstract Wikipedia:Project chat#Spaces between sentences|Two weeks ago]], I tried to bring up a similar topic, but that discussion somehow got derailed and also didn't yield anything useful.
Now, the problem looks differently, but it's still a problem. When I look at [[Q10251]], for example, what I see is four sentences that ''appear'' with ''no'' spaces between them. Not one, not two—none at all. It looks like this:
:Plasma is a fundamental state of matter.Plasma is a classical state of matter.A plasma is a gas.A plasma is a matter.
Note that I emphasized ''appear'': When I see them rendered on the screen, they have no spaces between them. In the HTML, however, they are represented as four <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code>s, and their inline positioning is handled by CSS. This means, for example, that if I copy and paste them, I don't get a long string with no spaces after full stops, but four sentences with a single line break after each full stop:
<poem>
Plasma is a fundamental state of matter.
Plasma is a classical state of matter.
A plasma is a gas.
A plasma is a matter.
</poem>
This is not how it is supposed to be done. <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code>s are supposed to be used for block elements and not hacked into appearing as if they are inline (also known as phrasing). Spaces between sentences are supposed to be real characters rather than HTML and CSS tricks, they may be different in different languages, and in some languages they may be nothing at all.
I hope that the definition of the problem is clear.

:Hi, have a look at it [[Special:PermanentLink/7132|now]]. Does this match your expectations? I think it's not rendering right now for whatever reason, but there are other examples of it being done this way that you can see: [[Q241691]]. The article renders properly in both English (spaces between sentences) and Japanese (no spaces at all).

::The output of [[Q241691]] looks OK to me in this regard. How was it done?
::[[Q10251]] gives me an error. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 18:10, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::WikiLambda is doing WikiLambda things. This WASI time limit error happens intermittently on Abstract Wikipedia articles and it usually goes away after a short while. The only thing is that it doesn't really seem like purging these articles does anything to force the orchestrator to retry its evaluation so the article might not render that paragraph until someone comes in and pokes at it by editing it somehow.
:::
:::The working article uses the [[f:Z33068|''paragraph from sentences'']] function to lay out its individual sentence content. This function automatically handles converting any and all text-like objects (strings, HTML fragments, and monolingual text) to a consistent form, so sentence fragments can all be supplied verbatim to its list input. When the function is putting the sentences together it defaults to using a single space to separate them, but first checks if the requested language is in the [[f:Z33984|''languages without spaces between sentences'']] list. If it is, it doesn't add spaces at all, and just concatenates the sentences normally. I hope this explanation makes sense. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 18:19, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
::::It makes some sense, but earlier, you suggested: "If you see these problems, please do fix them", and I'm not entirely sure how to do it. How would I fix it in [[Q100]], for example? [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 19:41, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::In this case you would do the following:
:::::# At the bottom, click the plus and then 「Add empty fragment」.
:::::# Set the function to [[f:Z33068]], as mentioned earlier.
:::::# Now go through each sentence fragment, find the innermost sentence-generation function, click on the three dots, and copy it. Do not copy the calls to [[f:Z29749]] or similar, these are not necessary.
:::::# Go to the ''paragraph with sentences'' function call and add an element to the list.
:::::# Click on the three dots next to the new element, and paste in the earlier sentence fragment.
:::::# You can now delete the original fragment and repeat the process in the same list for the one after it.

::@[[User:Theki|Theki]] I intend on fixing it, I recently made an attempt but the suggested fixes made problems worse. Do you have any practical suggestions of how to structure the templates? I will try to implement them when I have more time.
::Also your name is very confusing, are you in the process of getting it changed wiki-wide? [[User:Immanuelle|Immanuelle]] ([[User talk:Immanuelle|talk]]) 22:36, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::Um, are you referring to my signature not matching my wiki username? I have considered for a long time changing it from ''theki'', but I don't feel like putting in the effort when it seems to be perfectly ignorable for most people. The user 「''Rae''」 can't be usurped because they made, like, two or three articles on the Persian Wikipedia two decades ago or something, I don't know. If that weren't the case I would be User:Rae right now but after that failed to go through I just decided to stop bothering. Maybe at some point I'll come up with a username I'm happy with keeping for the foreseeable future but I have other concerns at the moment.
:::Could you explain how your attempted fixes 「made problems worse」? Presently I side with Feeglgeef's sentiments and prefer to wait for abstract content to actually be feasible to make on a reasonably descriptive scale (see: the type proposals) before I go around making articles willy-nilly, which is what AWE has been doing—making a bunch of pretty low-quality articles on a massive scale when it probably ''really'' would have been better to, err, hold off on that.

::::::{{ping|Immanuelle}} I checked.

===Easier solution?===
Maybe a much easier solution would be to replace the "." after each sentence with ". " (a full stop and a space). The paragraghs might add an extra space, but that is displayed as one by the browser. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]])
:@[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]]: I originally thought this was a bit hacky, but it actually makes sense -- the spacing is determined by punctuation. For example, English [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_spacing#cite_ref-Bringhurst_2004._p.28_4-0 used to have] the convention of using two spaces, Chinese uses no spaces, and in Tibetan, ། marks the end of a short phrase or sentence (still needs a space after it), while ༎ marks the end of a paragraph. (Yes, there's a dedicated paragraph-ending punctuation mark!) This at least matches our current abstraction model well. Also, I don't think this will lead to extra spaces. ——[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]] ([[User talk:内存溢出的猫|talk]]) 11:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
::<nowiki><tangent></nowiki> <em>「Yes, there's a dedicated paragraph-ending punctuation mark!」</em> We English folk have used ¶ for that before, so I don't suppose a paragraph mark in Tibetan is all that unusual... <nowiki></tangent></nowiki> — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 17:25, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
:An unnecessary space in the end of a text, though invisible, cannot be a good idea. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 11:43, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
::I agree. We should not change functions which correctly return sentences into functions which return sentences with spaces stuck to them. {{zd|Z35672}} works well until the performance is good enough for {{zd|Z33068}}. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 12:34, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I think if the current WL system allowed for ''starting'' tags and then ending them at a later indeterminate point, Z33068's performance issues could be perhaps mitigated slightly. One could use a ''start paragraph'' call, followed by some sentences in some well-established form, and then close the paragraph with an ''end paragraph'' call. An issue I've had with paragraphs is that you can't see the paragraph build itself up sentence-by-sentence, and the failure of a ''single'' function call means the inability of the ''entire'' paragraph to render at all—something that would, of course, be fixed by making paragraphs more granular in this way. Something to think about, although I am sure it's not possible presently (since the abstract HTML renderer doesn't build up the document gradually, and instead expects the HTML to be well-formed from the outset). — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 17:28, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
:::: Each fragment is its own div, and you can't do <nowiki><div><p></div><div>[text]</div><div></p></div></nowiki>, it will break the browser's tag grouping. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 18:55, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::Hence why I mentioned that I don't suspect it will be possible. The concept is just something to think about. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 19:34, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
== Translations ==
Yes, this question is probably easily answerable through a Web search, but I thought I'd ask here anyways. I am unfortunately not bilingual... I know Toki Pona, but it's a constructed language. I'd love to be a polyglot of some sorts but that is a future thing. I've been trying to translate pages into tok, for funsies mostly.
At any rate, I want to convert some of the un-translated pages, namely Feeglgeef's policy drafts, into ones that can be translated (and then translate them into Toki Pona of course). I think I have to be a translation administrator for this? Which is a process that I'd have to ''apply'' for, and I doubt I have the credentials to be accepted for such a role. Regardless, is there a way I can go about this without having to do it through someone else? I can probably easily find documentation on marking pages for translation but I don't know how much I'm actually capable of doing as just a regular user. Should I apply? — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 14:15, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:Most of the process of preparing a page for translation can be done by any editor. See [[:mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation example]].
:The step of marking a page or translation for the first time or after changes must be done by a translation administrator.
:I recommend learning the <nowiki><translate> and <tvar></nowiki> syntax and using it on a few pages before applying for this permission. After you do it on a few pages, and you feel confident, and you want to do it more, you can ask for the permission. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 14:28, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
::Just to confirm, did I mark up [[Special:Diff/8138|this page]] for translation properly? I thought to give the hatnote its own <code><translate></code> enclosure so as to exclude the indent and italicization from needing to be included in the translatable text. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 15:10, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:::Mostly properly, but don't exclude <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> for italics from translation. It's generally a good idea to exclude complex markup from translation because it's hard for many people to type, and it usually stays the same in translation anyway. <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> for italics is different, however: it's very simple to type and familiar to most editors; italic letters are used differently in different languages, and in some languages they aren't used at all, so translators need the freedom to use them appropriately; this markup can also appear in the middle of a translation unit and not only in the ends. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 15:35, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Thank you for the guidance. Should the italics be included if they are used over the entire hatnote? I figure that placement of italics should be left up to the discretion of the translators, but the hatnote itself is meant to be entirely italicized, I would think irrespective of the language it's in. Is this the right idea or should they still be kept within the translation unit? — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 15:45, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::Yes, italics should be included in the translation unit if they are used over the entire hatnote. Some languages don't use italic writing at all, so it shouldn't be forced. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 18:36, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:I'd support a translation administrator request ;), for reasons below. I'm not sure why we need a seperate translation administrator right, or why we have to call it an "administrator" (deciding that a page could be translated is a much less important role than, say, page deletion, or blocking). We picked three of them (well, one of them went through the WMF, so we picked two), [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=pagetranslation&user=&page=&excludetempacct=1&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%5B%5D=newusers&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist they don't appear very active, though], only marking 9 times this month, zero (0) of which were for pages marked for the first time.

::This reply echos my philosophy of a sort of wiki-[[Q166005|xenophobia]] (the term xenophobia is probably too harsh, and I wouldn't consider myself one in real life, but it's the best word I can think of), I generally distrust users with a lot of global rights (both global sysop etc. and large amounts of local rights) who come make [[m:Metapedianism|metapedian]] contributions, not as people but to their ability to handle Wikifunctions and Abstract Wikipedia as incredibly unique and technically complex projects.

:::You don't bother me, it's fine. I think they definitely have a place, they can be useful and they usually are. Obviously local admins and what have you that earned their roles through the trust and reputation of the specific community they are in are going to occupy a more trusting position in my mind than a global sysop or global ''anything''. Specialized role members are good and healthy in the long term; I think we are giving these privileges to global users sparingly as the project is still in its infancy and as core contributors emerge and take up key positions we will have a more well-rounded and self-sustaining community with less global privileges needed to take up certain tasks. Wikifunctions probably needed some Foundation members or other staff to act as functioneers initially while the general community was still orienting themselves with WikiLambda and working on applying for the role, but now we have [[f:Special:ListUsers/functioneer|74(!) of them]] and the number of normal members using their specialized skills outnumbers those who were "grandfathered" in (for lack of a better term) or similar. The wiki is young—it just needs time. I myself have been considering applying for sysop privileges since they are obviously needed (there being exactly Zero of them at the moment); I've been weighing the pros and cons of such a commitment, it's obviously a lot to take up. I wish your sysop request went through, I think you would have made a great admin here. I'm unsure of what others think of my capabilities, I'm rather in-and-out around these social spaces so I don't know if there's much to go off of. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 15:55, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Totally agree, and I'd support a sysopship request as well, though I'm apparently not good at assessing what the community considers supportable in admin candidate ;).
::::Off-topic, but interestingly, the sysop toolset allows you to grant yourself translation adminship. I'm not sure if sysops are expected not to grant themselves the permissions (kind of like how on enwiki 'crats are expected not grant themselves any rights without discussion despite having the technical rights), but I did it to myself on WF because [https://www.wikifunctions.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=84940 another sysop had]. Additionally, the functioneer right [[Special:ListGroupRights#functioneer|exists on this wiki]], with the same rights on WF, despite all of them not doing anything on this wiki. I believe this is because, on the technical side, both AW and WF are powered by the same MediaWiki extension (Wikilambda), with one wiki set to a mode for abstract articles and another set to a mode for ZObjects. [https://dag.wikipedia.org/wiki/Di%C5%8B%27gahim:ListGroupRights#functioneer Checking the Dagbani Wikipedia] supports this theory.

Hi all! I've written some draft policies and guidelines over the last few days. We're not a bureaucracy, so the point is not to set some rules but to kick off some discussions as to how our wiki will work.

== To abstract Wikipedia or be the Abstract Wikipedia ==
There is a discussion happening about what the [[Abstract Wikipedia:Notability|notability criteria]] for Abstract Wikipedia should be, and in trying to participate I've found my idea of Abstract Wikipedia is awfully abstract. Is Abstract Wikipedia supposed to abstract Wikipedia, as in abstracting information from existing articles on the language Wikipedias (barring new contributions), or is it supposed to become the Abstract Wikipedia, supporting collaboration across all languages like it's the language Wikipedia to end all language Wikipedias (allowing new contributions)? I thought the answer would be obvious, but the name Abstract Wikipedia is a bit ambiguous. Am I missing something? [[User:Some helpful person|Some helpful person]] ([[User talk:Some helpful person|talk]]) 02:16, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
:I think ({{ping|DVrandecic (WMF)|p=?}}) the idea is (and I personally prefer) the latter. I believe that, given the fact that it's much easier to write a concrete article than an abstract article, and the fact that the community of potential future contributors on enwiki is skeptical ''at best'', we ultimately will never expand beyond the size of other wikis, but I see no problem with allowing volunteers to add information not on other wikis (it's probably not the most effective, but they're volunteers, beggars can't be choosers), as long as it's not vandalism, useless, or promotional slop.

:@[[User:Some helpful person|Some helpful person]] Abstract Wikipedia is a Wikipedia, where people can collaborate across languages on articles, which can then be used to fill gaps in the existing Wikipedias. Whereas I expect that current Wikipedia articles might be used as a convenient starting point for many of the articles in Abstract Wikipedia, this is more a consequence of Wikipedia being one of the best places to go to to find reliable knowledge, but that is not part of how it is supposed to work. So, this is not to abstract the existing Wikipedias, but to collaborate on an Abstract Wikipedia. At no point is this meant to replace existing Wikipedias.

:** This could then be suplemented by helper templates: <nowiki>{{Call|Z26039|{{Wikidata item argument reference}}|{{Wikidata item reference|Q634}}|{{Language argument reference}}}}</nowiki>
:* This would result in "[[f:Z26039|subject is instance of (string)]] (wikidata item reference, [[d:Q634|planet]], language)"

== Marking NLG Default text ==
Some NLG functions give default texts, like [[f:Z33420|Z33420]] will give text like "Paris ∈ {city}". sometimes in other languages the English text is show. Currently there is no visual clue that these texts are not normal text in the requested language. I propose we mark these text with color <span style="color:magenta;">Paris ∈ {city}</span> with something like <nowiki><span style="color:magenta;">Paris ∈ {city}</span></nowiki>. To have this configurable/maintainable this could be included in a function, called NLG default text or so, with a text as input an a text in color as output. The exact formatting like magenta color or gray background or something else can be discussed/decided later. To have it even more configurable on personal stylesheets it could use a class like <nowiki><span class="NLG Default text">Paris ∈ {city}</span></nowiki>. What do you think? Could somebody make such a function already? [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 12:00, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
:The are technically just monolingual texts in a language called "multiple languages". I threw a prototype together really quickly, [[f:Z35839]].

::OK, thanks, I added it to [[f:Z26039]] and works as expected, see [https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Z26039?call=%7B%22Z1K1%22%3A%22Z7%22%2C%22Z7K1%22%3A%22Z26039%22%2C%22Z26039K1%22%3A%7B%22Z1K1%22%3A%22Z6091%22%2C%22Z6091K1%22%3A%22Q64%22%7D%2C%22Z26039K2%22%3A%7B%22Z1K1%22%3A%22Z6091%22%2C%22Z6091K1%22%3A%22Q515%22%7D%2C%22Z26039K3%22%3A%22Z1555%22%7D here]. The test for the function with default text now fails because it now is in magenta color. That was to be expected. I will leave the tests unchanged if that is OK with you, as we might need to change the exact formatting.

== Questions on a simple fragment example "The Eiffel Tower is a monument" ==
Moved from [[f:Wikifunctions:Project chat]]
Hello. I would like to be able to use the function [[f:Z26039]] to generate sentences like "the Eiffel Tower is a monument" or "la torre Eiffel es un monumento" in Spanish. It already raises a lot of questions.
Question 1: I should be able to set the first input "entity" to {{Q|Q243}} and the second input "class" to {{Q|Q4989906}} and get the correct sentence, shouldn't I? Just checking.
Question 2: [[f:Z26039]] calls a language-specific function like "Spanish article-less instantiating sentence" [[f:Z26337]], which uses the label of the Wikidata item to get the text for "Eiffel Tower", which is similar to the lemma of the lexeme. But this would not be acceptable in production, would it? The item label "belongs" to all Wikidata users, not to Abstract Wikipedia users, and there is no guarantee what it might contain, such as a parenthesis for disambiguation. Or am I wrong?
Question 3a: We need to have a lexeme for the combination "Eiffel Tower" in each language, don't we? For instance in languages with gender, the lexeme is the only place to find the gender. It is true that if we know that the equivalent of "Tower" is the head word, syntactical information can be found under the lexeme for "tower", and it would be good to use a system like that. But the only place that the syntactic dependency information could be located is under the lexeme.
Question 3b: At present for [[f:Z26039]] etc. to work, we have to add any forms or syntax information to the lexeme of the whole phrase, such as "Eiffel Tower". But property {{Q|P5238}} with attributes {{Q|P9763}} and {{Q|P9764}} can be used to define the structure and avoid duplicating the syntax information. What lexeme would be used for "Eiffel" in this case? Would it be the same as a lexeme for {{Q|Q20882}}? That makes no sense to me. I propose that there should be a dummy lexeme in each language which could be added to {{Q|P5238}} instead of a real lexeme to mean "invariant element".
Question 4: As has already been pointed out elsewhere, the fragment functions do not work well with the initial definite article in languages like English, Spanish and German. Examples:
* "'''The Eiffel Tower is a monument.'''" The item label "Eiffel Tower" omits the article and so the result omits the initial "The" in English. French, Spanish and German are similar.
* "'''The Sun is a star.'''" Similarly the article is wrongly omitted, also in French, Spanish and German.
* "'''Westminster Abbey is a monument.'''" This is OK in English and German as no article is needed, but not in French or Spanish where it is, for instance "La Abadía de Westminster es un monumento".
* "'''Latin is a dead language.'''" Also this is OK in English and German but not in French or Spanish, where an article is needed.
* "'''Jupiter is a planet.'''". This does not need an article and is OK in all the languages; I include this to show that you cannot assume that there is an article in all cases in French and Spanish.
How should the language functions find out whether an article is needed? In some cases, where the lemma is a phrase like "Abadía de Westminster" in Spanish, I think that it could be deduced, but in general there is no rule to give the answer. Using different rendering functions according to the case is '''not''' a solution, although it might work for a few specific languages like these four. It would not be acceptable because there will be many, many other cases of syntactical choices to be made for all the different languages, and we cannot expect the person writing the abstract code to take them all into account. So I suppose that a declaration in the lexeme is needed to solve this problem. I suppose that there must already be linguistic terminology for this problem, but I don't know it.
I would be grateful for any comments on any of these questions. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 15:02, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] I will try to answer a few of your questions, although I am not linguist.
::@[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] Thanks for your answer. I will add my comments in your answers below. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 18:42, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
:1. Yes I agree the correct inputs for "entity" is {{Q|243}} and the second input "class" is {{Q|4989906}}.
:2. In case no lexeme information is needed (for gender or so) the Wikidata label of {{Q|243}} should be OK. Labels in Wikidata don't contain parentheses for disambiguation. For instance there are many cities called Amsterdam like {{Q|478456}}. {{Q|959016}} and {{Q|727}}
:: Well I sometimes add disambiguation parentheses in the case of taxonomic items, for instance I use the label "Sphaerodes (fungus)" because the genus name ''Sphaerodes'' is both a fungus and an insect. As far as I know, it is allowed to add a parenthesis like this to the label. When selecting the item this is not needed, since the description is also visible, but when looking at the genus name on the page, one would not be able to tell whether the link goes to the fungus or the insect, and sometimes such links get muddled up. If there should be a rule that the label must be the same as the lemma text, then I think that needs to be agreed and publicized.
:3a. In case gender is needed, for example for gender for La Abadía de Westminster I think we need lexemes
:: Yes, so it seems to me that this means that for languages like French and German, every single item needs a lexeme. On the other hand, in a separate conversation it was suggested to me that genders might be established programmatically, and the lexeme would only be needed in exceptional cases. This seems to require an architecture which is different from what I was expecting, and certainly not available at present for the fragment examples (surely the logic will be too complicated for composition code alone). Even in English, many items may need to be used in the plural; the rendering function will need to find the plural of the given item. It can execute a heuristic function (add "s", change "y" to "ies", etc.), and a lexeme is only needed if the label word is "irregular". But note that it has to query the lexeme every single time to see if one exists, in which case it must take precedence.
:3b. I don't know what you mean, so I can't answer that.
::It is a detailed question about how to fill in the attributes of {{Q|P5238}}.
:4. You are right some examples like Sun is a star" are incorrect and need an article for some languages/some lemmma. I don't know if there is a linguistic terminology or Lexeme property that would indicate it needs an initial definite article.
:::Yes. In fact, the strange thing for me is rather that in encyclopedia entries, the article is omitted in the article heading. For instance, in the examples above if the English labels were given as "The Eiffel Tower" and "The Sun", and similarly in the other languages, the fragment examples would work and where would be the problem? In paper encyclopedias, this would mean that many entries would come together under "The". Anyway, I don't think this can be changed and so a property is needed. I would have thought that the property would have to be on a lexeme object.
:: On {{Q|727}} in English the noun Netherlands has an additional "the" in English. This is added by [[f:Z32645]] item indicates definite article, English. Functions should be created for each language, and added to the appropriate sentences. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 11:58, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
:::Oh, Z32645 is interesting. The two implementations are very different, aren't they? The function doesn't work for "Eiffel Tower", but the first implementation could do if "the Eiffel Tower" were an alias. That could be instead of the lexeme property(?) But if we are imposing conventions like that, I suppose we need to talk to other Wikidata users.
:Even for western languages there are a lot of different rules; What about the many other languages in the world. All this makes it a real challenge. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 22:04, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

:::::@[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] Thanks for the links which you have just made here and also thanks to whoever is involved in covering the question in the status update. I don't think that the status update talk page is used for such comments, is it? Until there is another suggestion, I don't know a better place to discuss than here, and so I will carry on here.
:::::I am guilty of not getting around to commenting on the status update discussion - there is always more that I want to say before publishing. Now I will try to keep my edits small.
:::::My view was that a lexeme would be necessary almost for every item in every language, but in the meeting it was argued that often syntactic information could be found through programmatic "rules of thumb", and that in that way, lexemes would be needed only in cases of irregularity. Note that it is still necessary to search for the lexeme properties in every case; the programmatic rules would only apply if the lexeme property is missing.
:::::My main comment now is that a programmatic approach is too complicated for doing everything by composition and so we urgently need to be able to call functions from Python/Javascript. I hope that that will come soon. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 15:28, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
:At the volunteers' meeting it was even suggested that grammatical genders could be determined programmatically sometimes. For instance in Spanish most rivers are masculine and in French trees are generally masculine. This type of rule depends on having a rigorous system to determine the type of item. Example: I believe that an oak tree is {{Q|Q12004}}. For some reason the label for English is "Quercus" (whereas other languages use the common name) - this highlights a problem with using item labels. Q12004 has subclass {{Q|Q148993}}, which has subclass {{Q|Q10884}}, so it is possible to determine that it is a tree, but surely this is too complicated to be worthwhile. Perhaps there are languages where the type of item gives a sort of gender, but I think they would need a property "linguistic item type" rather than trying to maintain the information in the existing item properties.
:Sometimes the form of the word indicates the gender, for instance in Spanish words ending in -a are often feminine. But there are many exceptions (el optimista, el tema), for which lexemes would be needed, I suppose. If there are very few exceptions, they could be listed explicitly.
:In the case of French, Spanish and German genders, I think that the simplicity of just putting the gender on the lexeme outweighs the possible savings in quantity of data through using "rules of thumb".

== readiness indicator ==
It occurred to me that an abstract page that works well enough for one language output might be broken for another, so it would be good to have some sort of indicator in the UI of which languages might be ready for transwiki and which still need preliminaries. I'm not sure if it would be better to do this as part of the testing and error-handling, or manually (like patrolling versions, but language-specific).

:: The function [[f:Z35921|NLG default text]] will be able to indicate on the target Wikipedia that the text in this language is not ready yet.

== Spaces between sentences, another attempt ==
[[Abstract Wikipedia:Project chat#Extra spaces between sentences|A month ago]], @[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]]<ref group="spaces3>According to Google Translate, it's pronounced "Nèicún yìchū de māo". Please correct me if it's wrong. When I write, I want to know how are things that I write pronounced aloud, and very unfortunately, I never learned to read Chinese characters, and even if I did, most English speakers probably didn't. Come to think of it, is there a function that ''reliably'' transliterates Chinese characters?<br>@[[User User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] Yes, it is correct. For pinyin transliterations, the only way is lemma-based. I'll also encourage you to read in underrepresented [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varieties_of_Chinese Varieties of Chinese] :-) I am working on them on English Wiktionary. ——[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]] ([[User talk:内存溢出的猫|talk]]) 11:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC)</ref> That discussion doesn't seem to have yielded any fixes or meaningful discussions, at least not that I can see.
[[Abstract Wikipedia:Project chat#Spaces between sentences|Two weeks ago]], I tried to bring up a similar topic, but that discussion somehow got derailed and also didn't yield anything useful.
Now, the problem looks differently, but it's still a problem. When I look at [[Q10251]], for example, what I see is four sentences that ''appear'' with ''no'' spaces between them. Not one, not two—none at all. It looks like this:
:Plasma is a fundamental state of matter.Plasma is a classical state of matter.A plasma is a gas.A plasma is a matter.
Note that I emphasized ''appear'': When I see them rendered on the screen, they have no spaces between them. In the HTML, however, they are represented as four <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code>s, and their inline positioning is handled by CSS. This means, for example, that if I copy and paste them, I don't get a long string with no spaces after full stops, but four sentences with a single line break after each full stop:
<poem>
Plasma is a fundamental state of matter.
Plasma is a classical state of matter.
A plasma is a gas.
A plasma is a matter.
</poem>
This is not how it is supposed to be done. <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code>s are supposed to be used for block elements and not hacked into appearing as if they are inline (also known as phrasing). Spaces between sentences are supposed to be real characters rather than HTML and CSS tricks, they may be different in different languages, and in some languages they may be nothing at all.
I hope that the definition of the problem is clear.

:Hi, have a look at it [[Special:PermanentLink/7132|now]]. Does this match your expectations? I think it's not rendering right now for whatever reason, but there are other examples of it being done this way that you can see: [[Q241691]]. The article renders properly in both English (spaces between sentences) and Japanese (no spaces at all).

::The output of [[Q241691]] looks OK to me in this regard. How was it done?
::[[Q10251]] gives me an error. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 18:10, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::WikiLambda is doing WikiLambda things. This WASI time limit error happens intermittently on Abstract Wikipedia articles and it usually goes away after a short while. The only thing is that it doesn't really seem like purging these articles does anything to force the orchestrator to retry its evaluation so the article might not render that paragraph until someone comes in and pokes at it by editing it somehow.
:::
:::The working article uses the [[f:Z33068|''paragraph from sentences'']] function to lay out its individual sentence content. This function automatically handles converting any and all text-like objects (strings, HTML fragments, and monolingual text) to a consistent form, so sentence fragments can all be supplied verbatim to its list input. When the function is putting the sentences together it defaults to using a single space to separate them, but first checks if the requested language is in the [[f:Z33984|''languages without spaces between sentences'']] list. If it is, it doesn't add spaces at all, and just concatenates the sentences normally. I hope this explanation makes sense. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 18:19, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
::::It makes some sense, but earlier, you suggested: "If you see these problems, please do fix them", and I'm not entirely sure how to do it. How would I fix it in [[Q100]], for example? [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 19:41, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::In this case you would do the following:
:::::# At the bottom, click the plus and then 「Add empty fragment」.
:::::# Set the function to [[f:Z33068]], as mentioned earlier.

:::::# Go to the ''paragraph with sentences'' function call and add an element to the list.

::@[[User:Theki|Theki]] I intend on fixing it, I recently made an attempt but the suggested fixes made problems worse. Do you have any practical suggestions of how to structure the templates? I will try to implement them when I have more time.
::Also your name is very confusing, are you in the process of getting it changed wiki-wide? [[User:Immanuelle|Immanuelle]] ([[User talk:Immanuelle|talk]]) 22:36, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::Um, are you referring to my signature not matching my wiki username? I have considered for a long time changing it from ''theki'', but I don't feel like putting in the effort when it seems to be perfectly ignorable for most people. The user 「''Rae''」 can't be usurped because they made, like, two or three articles on the Persian Wikipedia two decades ago or something, I don't know. If that weren't the case I would be User:Rae right now but after that failed to go through I just decided to stop bothering. Maybe at some point I'll come up with a username I'm happy with keeping for the foreseeable future but I have other concerns at the moment.
:::Could you explain how your attempted fixes 「made problems worse」? Presently I side with Feeglgeef's sentiments and prefer to wait for abstract content to actually be feasible to make on a reasonably descriptive scale (see: the type proposals) before I go around making articles willy-nilly, which is what AWE has been doing—making a bunch of pretty low-quality articles on a massive scale when it probably ''really'' would have been better to, err, hold off on that.

===Easier solution?===
Maybe a much easier solution would be to replace the "." after each sentence with ". " (a full stop and a space). The paragraghs might add an extra space, but that is displayed as one by the browser. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]])
:@[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]]: I originally thought this was a bit hacky, but it actually makes sense -- the spacing is determined by punctuation. For example, English [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_spacing#cite_ref-Bringhurst_2004._p.28_4-0 used to have] the convention of using two spaces, Chinese uses no spaces, and in Tibetan, ། marks the end of a short phrase or sentence (still needs a space after it), while ༎ marks the end of a paragraph. (Yes, there's a dedicated paragraph-ending punctuation mark!) This at least matches our current abstraction model well. Also, I don't think this will lead to extra spaces. ——[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]] ([[User talk:内存溢出的猫|talk]]) 11:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

::I agree. We should not change functions which correctly return sentences into functions which return sentences with spaces stuck to them. {{zd|Z35672}} works well until the performance is good enough for {{zd|Z33068}}. --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 12:34, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I think if the current WL system allowed for ''starting'' tags and then ending them at a later indeterminate point, Z33068's performance issues could be perhaps mitigated slightly. One could use a ''start paragraph'' call, followed by some sentences in some well-established form, and then close the paragraph with an ''end paragraph'' call. An issue I've had with paragraphs is that you can't see the paragraph build itself up sentence-by-sentence, and the failure of a ''single'' function call means the inability of the ''entire'' paragraph to render at all—something that would, of course, be fixed by making paragraphs more granular in this way. Something to think about, although I am sure it's not possible presently (since the abstract HTML renderer doesn't build up the document gradually, and instead expects the HTML to be well-formed from the outset). — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 17:28, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

== Translations ==
Yes, this question is probably easily answerable through a Web search, but I thought I'd ask here anyways. I am unfortunately not bilingual... I know Toki Pona, but it's a constructed language. I'd love to be a polyglot of some sorts but that is a future thing. I've been trying to translate pages into tok, for funsies mostly.
At any rate, I want to convert some of the un-translated pages, namely Feeglgeef's policy drafts, into ones that can be translated (and then translate them into Toki Pona of course). I think I have to be a translation administrator for this? Which is a process that I'd have to ''apply'' for, and I doubt I have the credentials to be accepted for such a role. Regardless, is there a way I can go about this without having to do it through someone else? I can probably easily find documentation on marking pages for translation but I don't know how much I'm actually capable of doing as just a regular user. Should I apply? — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 14:15, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:Most of the process of preparing a page for translation can be done by any editor. See [[:mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation example]].
:The step of marking a page or translation for the first time or after changes must be done by a translation administrator.
:I recommend learning the <nowiki><translate> and <tvar></nowiki> syntax and using it on a few pages before applying for this permission.

::Just to confirm, did I mark up [[Special:Diff/8138|this page]] for translation properly?

:::Mostly properly, but don't exclude <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> for italics from translation. It's generally a good idea to exclude complex markup from translation because it's hard for many people to type, and it usually stays the same in translation anyway. <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> for italics is different, however: it's very simple to type and familiar to most editors; italic letters are used differently in different languages, and in some languages they aren't used at all, so translators need the freedom to use them appropriately; this markup can also appear in the middle of a translation unit and not only in the ends. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 15:35, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Thank you for the guidance. Should the italics be included if they are used over the entire hatnote? I figure that placement of italics should be left up to the discretion of the translators, but the hatnote itself is meant to be entirely italicized, I would think irrespective of the language it's in. Is this the right idea or should they still be kept within the translation unit? — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 15:45, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::Yes, italics should be included in the translation unit if they are used over the entire hatnote. Some languages don't use italic writing at all, so it shouldn't be forced. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 18:36, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:I'd support a translation administrator request ;), for reasons below. I'm not sure why we need a seperate translation administrator right, or why we have to call it an "administrator" (deciding that a page could be translated is a much less important role than, say, page deletion, or blocking). We picked three of them (well, one of them went through the WMF, so we picked two), [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=pagetranslation&user=&page=&excludetempacct=1&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%5B%5D=newusers&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist they don't appear very active, though], only marking 9 times this month, zero (0) of which were for pages marked for the first time.

:::You don't bother me, it's fine. I think they definitely have a place, they can be useful and they usually are. Obviously local admins and what have you that earned their roles through the trust and reputation of the specific community they are in are going to occupy a more trusting position in my mind than a global sysop or global ''anything''. Specialized role members are good and healthy in the long term; I think we are giving these privileges to global users sparingly as the project is still in its infancy and as core contributors emerge and take up key positions we will have a more well-rounded and self-sustaining community with less global privileges needed to take up certain tasks. Wikifunctions probably needed some Foundation members or other staff to act as functioneers initially while the general community was still orienting themselves with WikiLambda and working on applying for the role, but now we have [[f:Special:ListUsers/functioneer|74(!) of them]] and the number of normal members using their specialized skills outnumbers those who were "grandfathered" in (for lack of a better term) or similar. The wiki is young—it just needs time. I myself have been considering applying for sysop privileges since they are obviously needed (there being exactly Zero of them at the moment); I've been weighing the pros and cons of such a commitment, it's obviously a lot to take up.

I'm not sure if sysops are expected not to grant themselves the permissions (kind of like how on enwiki 'crats are expected not grant themselves any rights without discussion despite having the technical rights), but I did it to myself on WF because [https://www.wikifunctions.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=84940 another sysop had]. Additionally, the functioneer right [[Special:ListGroupRights#functioneer|exists on this wiki]], with the same rights on WF, despite all of them not doing anything on this wiki. I believe this is because, on the technical side, both AW and WF are powered by the same MediaWiki extension (Wikilambda), with one wiki set to a mode for abstract articles and another set to a mode for ZObjects.

== Policy drafts ==
Hi all! I've written some draft policies and guidelines over the last few days. We're not a bureaucracy, so the point is not to set some rules but to kick off some discussions as to how our wiki will work.
So far, I've created:
* [[Abstract Wikipedia:Notability|a notability guideline]]
* [[Abstract Wikipedia:Deletion policy|a deletion policy]]
I've written them as my opinion on what should happen, but I'm hoping to align them with community consensus as we discuss them more. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 13:44, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

== To abstract Wikipedia or be the Abstract Wikipedia ==
There is a discussion happening about what the [[Abstract Wikipedia:Notability|notability criteria]] for Abstract Wikipedia should be, and in trying to participate I've found my idea of Abstract Wikipedia is awfully abstract. Is Abstract Wikipedia supposed to abstract Wikipedia, as in abstracting information from existing articles on the language Wikipedias (barring new contributions), or is it supposed to become the Abstract Wikipedia, supporting collaboration across all languages like it's the language Wikipedia to end all language Wikipedias (allowing new contributions)? I thought the answer would be obvious, but the name Abstract Wikipedia is a bit ambiguous. Am I missing something? [[User:Some helpful person|Some helpful person]] ([[User talk:Some helpful person|talk]]) 02:16, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
:I think ({{ping|DVrandecic (WMF)|p=?}}) the idea is (and I personally prefer) the latter. I believe that, given the fact that it's much easier to write a concrete article than an abstract article, and the fact that the community of potential future contributors on enwiki is skeptical ''at best'', we ultimately will never expand beyond the size of other wikis, but I see no problem with allowing volunteers to add information not on other wikis (it's probably not the most effective, but they're volunteers, beggars can't be choosers), as long as it's not vandalism, useless, or promotional slop. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 02:31, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Some helpful person|Some helpful person]] Abstract Wikipedia is a Wikipedia, where people can collaborate across languages on articles, which can then be used to fill gaps in the existing Wikipedias. Whereas I expect that current Wikipedia articles might be used as a convenient starting point for many of the articles in Abstract Wikipedia, this is more a consequence of Wikipedia being one of the best places to go to to find reliable knowledge, but that is not part of how it is supposed to work. So, this is not to abstract the existing Wikipedias, but to collaborate on an Abstract Wikipedia. At no point is this meant to replace existing Wikipedias.

:** This could then be suplemented by helper templates: <nowiki>{{Call|Z26039|{{Wikidata item argument reference}}|{{Wikidata item reference|Q634}}|{{Language argument reference}}}}</nowiki>

== Marking NLG Default text ==
Some NLG functions give default texts, like [[f:Z33420|Z33420]] will give text like "Paris ∈ {city}". sometimes in other languages the English text is show. Currently there is no visual clue that these texts are not normal text in the requested language. I propose we mark these text with color <span style="color:magenta;">Paris ∈ {city}</span> with something like <nowiki><span style="color:magenta;">Paris ∈ {city}</span></nowiki>. To have this configurable/maintainable this could be included in a function, called NLG default text or so, with a text as input an a text in color as output. The exact formatting like magenta color or gray background or something else can be discussed/decided later. To have it even more configurable on personal stylesheets it could use a class like <nowiki><span class="NLG Default text">Paris ∈ {city}</span></nowiki>. What do you think? Could somebody make such a function already? [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 12:00, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
:The are technically just monolingual texts in a language called "multiple languages". I threw a prototype together really quickly, [[f:Z35839]].

The test for the function with default text now fails because it now is in magenta color. That was to be expected. I will leave the tests unchanged if that is OK with you, as we might need to change the exact formatting.

== Questions on a simple fragment example "The Eiffel Tower is a monument" ==
Moved from [[f:Wikifunctions:Project chat]]
Hello. I would like to be able to use the function [[f:Z26039]] to generate sentences like "the Eiffel Tower is a monument" or "la torre Eiffel es un monumento" in Spanish. It already raises a lot of questions.
Question 1: I should be able to set the first input "entity" to {{Q|Q243}} and the second input "class" to {{Q|Q4989906}} and get the correct sentence, shouldn't I? Just checking.
Question 2: [[f:Z26039]] calls a language-specific function like "Spanish article-less instantiating sentence" [[f:Z26337]], which uses the label of the Wikidata item to get the text for "Eiffel Tower", which is similar to the lemma of the lexeme. But this would not be acceptable in production, would it? The item label "belongs" to all Wikidata users, not to Abstract Wikipedia users, and there is no guarantee what it might contain, such as a parenthesis for disambiguation. Or am I wrong?
Question 3a: We need to have a lexeme for the combination "Eiffel Tower" in each language, don't we? For instance in languages with gender, the lexeme is the only place to find the gender. It is true that if we know that the equivalent of "Tower" is the head word, syntactical information can be found under the lexeme for "tower", and it would be good to use a system like that. But the only place that the syntactic dependency information could be located is under the lexeme.
Question 3b: At present for [[f:Z26039]] etc. to work, we have to add any forms or syntax information to the lexeme of the whole phrase, such as "Eiffel Tower". But property {{Q|P5238}} with attributes {{Q|P9763}} and {{Q|P9764}} can be used to define the structure and avoid duplicating the syntax information. What lexeme would be used for "Eiffel" in this case? Would it be the same as a lexeme for {{Q|Q20882}}? That makes no sense to me. I propose that there should be a dummy lexeme in each language which could be added to {{Q|P5238}} instead of a real lexeme to mean "invariant element".
Question 4: As has already been pointed out elsewhere, the fragment functions do not work well with the initial definite article in languages like English, Spanish and German. Examples:
* "'''The Eiffel Tower is a monument.'''" The item label "Eiffel Tower" omits the article and so the result omits the initial "The" in English. French, Spanish and German are similar.
* "'''The Sun is a star.'''" Similarly the article is wrongly omitted, also in French, Spanish and German.
* "'''Westminster Abbey is a monument.'''" This is OK in English and German as no article is needed, but not in French or Spanish where it is, for instance "La Abadía de Westminster es un monumento".
* "'''Latin is a dead language.'''" Also this is OK in English and German but not in French or Spanish, where an article is needed.
* "'''Jupiter is a planet.'''". This does not need an article and is OK in all the languages; I include this to show that you cannot assume that there is an article in all cases in French and Spanish.
How should the language functions find out whether an article is needed? In some cases, where the lemma is a phrase like "Abadía de Westminster" in Spanish, I think that it could be deduced, but in general there is no rule to give the answer. Using different rendering functions according to the case is '''not''' a solution, although it might work for a few specific languages like these four. It would not be acceptable because there will be many, many other cases of syntactical choices to be made for all the different languages, and we cannot expect the person writing the abstract code to take them all into account. So I suppose that a declaration in the lexeme is needed to solve this problem. I suppose that there must already be linguistic terminology for this problem, but I don't know it.
I would be grateful for any comments on any of these questions. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 15:02, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] I will try to answer a few of your questions, although I am not linguist.
::@[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] Thanks for your answer. I will add my comments in your answers below. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 18:42, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
:1. Yes I agree the correct inputs for "entity" is {{Q|243}} and the second input "class" is {{Q|4989906}}.
:2. In case no lexeme information is needed (for gender or so) the Wikidata label of {{Q|243}} should be OK. Labels in Wikidata don't contain parentheses for disambiguation. For instance there are many cities called Amsterdam like {{Q|478456}}. {{Q|959016}} and {{Q|727}}
:: Well I sometimes add disambiguation parentheses in the case of taxonomic items, for instance I use the label "Sphaerodes (fungus)" because the genus name ''Sphaerodes'' is both a fungus and an insect. As far as I know, it is allowed to add a parenthesis like this to the label. When selecting the item this is not needed, since the description is also visible, but when looking at the genus name on the page, one would not be able to tell whether the link goes to the fungus or the insect, and sometimes such links get muddled up. If there should be a rule that the label must be the same as the lemma text, then I think that needs to be agreed and publicized.
:3a. In case gender is needed, for example for gender for La Abadía de Westminster I think we need lexemes
:: Yes, so it seems to me that this means that for languages like French and German, every single item needs a lexeme. On the other hand, in a separate conversation it was suggested to me that genders might be established programmatically, and the lexeme would only be needed in exceptional cases. This seems to require an architecture which is different from what I was expecting, and certainly not available at present for the fragment examples (surely the logic will be too complicated for composition code alone). Even in English, many items may need to be used in the plural; the rendering function will need to find the plural of the given item. It can execute a heuristic function (add "s", change "y" to "ies", etc.), and a lexeme is only needed if the label word is "irregular". But note that it has to query the lexeme every single time to see if one exists, in which case it must take precedence.
:3b. I don't know what you mean, so I can't answer that.
::It is a detailed question about how to fill in the attributes of {{Q|P5238}}.
:4. You are right some examples like Sun is a star" are incorrect and need an article for some languages/some lemmma. I don't know if there is a linguistic terminology or Lexeme property that would indicate it needs an initial definite article.
:::Yes. In fact, the strange thing for me is rather that in encyclopedia entries, the article is omitted in the article heading. For instance, in the examples above if the English labels were given as "The Eiffel Tower" and "The Sun", and similarly in the other languages, the fragment examples would work and where would be the problem? In paper encyclopedias, this would mean that many entries would come together under "The". Anyway, I don't think this can be changed and so a property is needed. I would have thought that the property would have to be on a lexeme object.
:: On {{Q|727}} in English the noun Netherlands has an additional "the" in English. This is added by [[f:Z32645]] item indicates definite article, English. Functions should be created for each language, and added to the appropriate sentences. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 11:58, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
:::Oh, Z32645 is interesting. The two implementations are very different, aren't they? The function doesn't work for "Eiffel Tower", but the first implementation could do if "the Eiffel Tower" were an alias. That could be instead of the lexeme property(?) But if we are imposing conventions like that, I suppose we need to talk to other Wikidata users.

:::This was discussed at [[:commons:File:Abstract_Wikipedia_Volunteer_Corner_2026-06.webm|Monday’s volunteers’ corner meeting (8 June 2026)]]. It was also discussed to find a place where to discuss this in detail. Please mention that place here if that place is known.

:::::@[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] Thanks for the links which you have just made here and also thanks to whoever is involved in covering the question in the status update. I don't think that the status update talk page is used for such comments, is it? Until there is another suggestion, I don't know a better place to discuss than here, and so I will carry on here.
:::::I am guilty of not getting around to commenting on the status update discussion - there is always more that I want to say before publishing. Now I will try to keep my edits small.
:::::My view was that a lexeme would be necessary almost for every item in every language, but in the meeting it was argued that often syntactic information could be found through programmatic "rules of thumb", and that in that way, lexemes would be needed only in cases of irregularity. Note that it is still necessary to search for the lexeme properties in every case; the programmatic rules would only apply if the lexeme property is missing.
:::::My main comment now is that a programmatic approach is too complicated for doing everything by composition and so we urgently need to be able to call functions from Python/Javascript. I hope that that will come soon. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 15:28, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
:At the volunteers' meeting it was even suggested that grammatical genders could be determined programmatically sometimes. For instance in Spanish most rivers are masculine and in French trees are generally masculine. This type of rule depends on having a rigorous system to determine the type of item. Example: I believe that an oak tree is {{Q|Q12004}}. For some reason the label for English is "Quercus" (whereas other languages use the common name) - this highlights a problem with using item labels. Q12004 has subclass {{Q|Q148993}}, which has subclass {{Q|Q10884}}, so it is possible to determine that it is a tree, but surely this is too complicated to be worthwhile. Perhaps there are languages where the type of item gives a sort of gender, but I think they would need a property "linguistic item type" rather than trying to maintain the information in the existing item properties.
:Sometimes the form of the word indicates the gender, for instance in Spanish words ending in -a are often feminine. But there are many exceptions (el optimista, el tema), for which lexemes would be needed, I suppose. If there are very few exceptions, they could be listed explicitly.
:In the case of French, Spanish and German genders, I think that the simplicity of just putting the gender on the lexeme outweighs the possible savings in quantity of data through using "rules of thumb". [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 15:54, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
::As mentioned in the Status Update, it is difficult to decide how to determine whether an item needs a definite article in the simple examples.
::I have a comment: it is strange that we want to leave out the article in the label and the lemma. In normal use, I think the article is only left out in "headline-speak" (for instance "Man falls from Eiffel Tower") or if you are talking to the thing ("Eiffel Tower, I love you"). I don't know where else we want to omit the article in actual text.
::So one proposal for a solution is that the lemma on the lexeme should include the article in these cases. It should be defined as the string which should be the value of ''x'' in the sentence: "''x'' is a thing". That might solve the problem, but we would always need to have a lexeme in these cases and it would be necessary to explain this to all lexeme users. A second proposal is to have a new property on the lexeme which gives the string which we need (or to have an indicator that an article is required, but that would be more complicated as code would be needed to render the article).
::Another possibility, supported in the meeting, would be somehow to work out from the construction of the name whether an article is needed. For instance if the name is constructed as a phrase, it often wants an article ("the Bridge of Sighs", "the Isle of Man"). In English a phrase with "of" is a good indication that the article is needed. Phrases of the form <qualifier> <noun> often want an article (for instance "Eiffel tower", "Irish Sea", "United States"), but they often don't (for example "Beachy Head", "Lake Ontario", "London Bridge", "Westminster Cathedral", "Fair Isle", "Land's End"). So that is no use if we don't know what type of qualifier and noun it is.
::There are rules for specific types of item (for instance in English, I think lakes don't need an article and seas do need an article). If we are going to use rules like that, it will be necessary to maintain the correct categorization in Wikidata. P31 and P279 might be relevant, but since these properties were created in another context, the management of them would be difficult. Lists of exceptions are possible. The solution could vary from one language to another. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 16:26, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

It occurred to me that an abstract page that works well enough for one language output might be broken for another, so it would be good to have some sort of indicator in the UI of which languages might be ready for transwiki and which still need preliminaries. I'm not sure if it would be better to do this as part of the testing and error-handling, or manually (like patrolling versions, but language-specific).

== Spaces between sentences, another attempt ==
[[Abstract Wikipedia:Project chat#Extra spaces between sentences|A month ago]], @[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]]<ref group="spaces3>According to Google Translate, it's pronounced "Nèicún yìchū de māo". Please correct me if it's wrong. When I write, I want to know how are things that I write pronounced aloud, and very unfortunately, I never learned to read Chinese characters, and even if I did, most English speakers probably didn't. Come to think of it, is there a function that ''reliably'' transliterates Chinese characters?<br>@[[User User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] Yes, it is correct. For pinyin transliterations, the only way is lemma-based. I'll also encourage you to read in underrepresented [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varieties_of_Chinese Varieties of Chinese] :-) I am working on them on English Wiktionary. ——[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]] ([[User talk:内存溢出的猫|talk]]) 11:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC)</ref> That discussion doesn't seem to have yielded any fixes or meaningful discussions, at least not that I can see.
[[Abstract Wikipedia:Project chat#Spaces between sentences|Two weeks ago]], I tried to bring up a similar topic, but that discussion somehow got derailed and also didn't yield anything useful.
Now, the problem looks differently, but it's still a problem. When I look at [[Q10251]], for example, what I see is four sentences that ''appear'' with ''no'' spaces between them. Not one, not two—none at all. It looks like this:
:Plasma is a fundamental state of matter.Plasma is a classical state of matter.A plasma is a gas.A plasma is a matter.
Note that I emphasized ''appear'': When I see them rendered on the screen, they have no spaces between them. In the HTML, however, they are represented as four <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code>s, and their inline positioning is handled by CSS. This means, for example, that if I copy and paste them, I don't get a long string with no spaces after full stops, but four sentences with a single line break after each full stop:
<poem>
Plasma is a fundamental state of matter.
Plasma is a classical state of matter.
A plasma is a gas.
A plasma is a matter.
</poem>
This is not how it is supposed to be done. <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code>s are supposed to be used for block elements and not hacked into appearing as if they are inline (also known as phrasing). Spaces between sentences are supposed to be real characters rather than HTML and CSS tricks, they may be different in different languages, and in some languages they may be nothing at all.
I hope that the definition of the problem is clear.

:Hi, have a look at it [[Special:PermanentLink/7132|now]]. Does this match your expectations? I think it's not rendering right now for whatever reason, but there are other examples of it being done this way that you can see: [[Q241691]]. The article renders properly in both English (spaces between sentences) and Japanese (no spaces at all).

::The output of [[Q241691]] looks OK to me in this regard. How was it done?
::[[Q10251]] gives me an error. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 18:10, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::WikiLambda is doing WikiLambda things. This WASI time limit error happens intermittently on Abstract Wikipedia articles and it usually goes away after a short while. The only thing is that it doesn't really seem like purging these articles does anything to force the orchestrator to retry its evaluation so the article might not render that paragraph until someone comes in and pokes at it by editing it somehow.
:::
:::The working article uses the [[f:Z33068|''paragraph from sentences'']] function to lay out its individual sentence content. This function automatically handles converting any and all text-like objects (strings, HTML fragments, and monolingual text) to a consistent form, so sentence fragments can all be supplied verbatim to its list input. When the function is putting the sentences together it defaults to using a single space to separate them, but first checks if the requested language is in the [[f:Z33984|''languages without spaces between sentences'']] list. If it is, it doesn't add spaces at all, and just concatenates the sentences normally. I hope this explanation makes sense. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 18:19, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
::::It makes some sense, but earlier, you suggested: "If you see these problems, please do fix them", and I'm not entirely sure how to do it. How would I fix it in [[Q100]], for example? [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 19:41, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::In this case you would do the following:
:::::# At the bottom, click the plus and then 「Add empty fragment」.
:::::# Set the function to [[f:Z33068]], as mentioned earlier.
:::::# Now go through each sentence fragment, find the innermost sentence-generation function, click on the three dots, and copy it. Do not copy the calls to [[f:Z29749]] or similar, these are not necessary.
:::::# Go to the ''paragraph with sentences'' function call and add an element to the list.

::@[[User:Theki|Theki]] I intend on fixing it, I recently made an attempt but the suggested fixes made problems worse. Do you have any practical suggestions of how to structure the templates? I will try to implement them when I have more time.
::Also your name is very confusing, are you in the process of getting it changed wiki-wide? [[User:Immanuelle|Immanuelle]] ([[User talk:Immanuelle|talk]]) 22:36, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
:::Um, are you referring to my signature not matching my wiki username? I have considered for a long time changing it from ''theki'', but I don't feel like putting in the effort when it seems to be perfectly ignorable for most people. The user 「''Rae''」 can't be usurped because they made, like, two or three articles on the Persian Wikipedia two decades ago or something, I don't know. If that weren't the case I would be User:Rae right now but after that failed to go through I just decided to stop bothering. Maybe at some point I'll come up with a username I'm happy with keeping for the foreseeable future but I have other concerns at the moment.
:::Could you explain how your attempted fixes 「made problems worse」? Presently I side with Feeglgeef's sentiments and prefer to wait for abstract content to actually be feasible to make on a reasonably descriptive scale (see: the type proposals) before I go around making articles willy-nilly, which is what AWE has been doing—making a bunch of pretty low-quality articles on a massive scale when it probably ''really'' would have been better to, err, hold off on that.

===Easier solution?===
Maybe a much easier solution would be to replace the "." after each sentence with ". " (a full stop and a space). The paragraghs might add an extra space, but that is displayed as one by the browser. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]])
:@[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]]: I originally thought this was a bit hacky, but it actually makes sense -- the spacing is determined by punctuation. For example, English [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_spacing#cite_ref-Bringhurst_2004._p.28_4-0 used to have] the convention of using two spaces, Chinese uses no spaces, and in Tibetan, ། marks the end of a short phrase or sentence (still needs a space after it), while ༎ marks the end of a paragraph. (Yes, there's a dedicated paragraph-ending punctuation mark!) This at least matches our current abstraction model well. Also, I don't think this will lead to extra spaces. ——[[User:内存溢出的猫|内存溢出的猫]] ([[User talk:内存溢出的猫|talk]]) 11:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

:::I think if the current WL system allowed for ''starting'' tags and then ending them at a later indeterminate point, Z33068's performance issues could be perhaps mitigated slightly. One could use a ''start paragraph'' call, followed by some sentences in some well-established form, and then close the paragraph with an ''end paragraph'' call. An issue I've had with paragraphs is that you can't see the paragraph build itself up sentence-by-sentence, and the failure of a ''single'' function call means the inability of the ''entire'' paragraph to render at all—something that would, of course, be fixed by making paragraphs more granular in this way. Something to think about, although I am sure it's not possible presently (since the abstract HTML renderer doesn't build up the document gradually, and instead expects the HTML to be well-formed from the outset). — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 17:28, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

== Translations ==
Yes, this question is probably easily answerable through a Web search, but I thought I'd ask here anyways. I am unfortunately not bilingual... I know Toki Pona, but it's a constructed language. I'd love to be a polyglot of some sorts but that is a future thing. I've been trying to translate pages into tok, for funsies mostly.
At any rate, I want to convert some of the un-translated pages, namely Feeglgeef's policy drafts, into ones that can be translated (and then translate them into Toki Pona of course). I think I have to be a translation administrator for this? Which is a process that I'd have to ''apply'' for, and I doubt I have the credentials to be accepted for such a role. Regardless, is there a way I can go about this without having to do it through someone else? I can probably easily find documentation on marking pages for translation but I don't know how much I'm actually capable of doing as just a regular user. Should I apply? — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 14:15, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:Most of the process of preparing a page for translation can be done by any editor. See [[:mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation example]].

::Just to confirm, did I mark up [[Special:Diff/8138|this page]] for translation properly? I thought to give the hatnote its own <code><translate></code> enclosure so as to exclude the indent and italicization from needing to be included in the translatable text. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 15:10, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:::Mostly properly, but don't exclude <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> for italics from translation. It's generally a good idea to exclude complex markup from translation because it's hard for many people to type, and it usually stays the same in translation anyway. <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> for italics is different, however: it's very simple to type and familiar to most editors; italic letters are used differently in different languages, and in some languages they aren't used at all, so translators need the freedom to use them appropriately; this markup can also appear in the middle of a translation unit and not only in the ends. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 15:35, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Thank you for the guidance. Should the italics be included if they are used over the entire hatnote? I figure that placement of italics should be left up to the discretion of the translators, but the hatnote itself is meant to be entirely italicized, I would think irrespective of the language it's in. Is this the right idea or should they still be kept within the translation unit? — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 15:45, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::Yes, italics should be included in the translation unit if they are used over the entire hatnote. Some languages don't use italic writing at all, so it shouldn't be forced. [[User:Amire80|Amir E. Aharoni]] ([[User talk:Amire80|talk]]) 18:36, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:I'd support a translation administrator request ;), for reasons below. I'm not sure why we need a seperate translation administrator right, or why we have to call it an "administrator" (deciding that a page could be translated is a much less important role than, say, page deletion, or blocking). We picked three of them (well, one of them went through the WMF, so we picked two), [https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=pagetranslation&user=&page=&excludetempacct=1&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%5B%5D=newusers&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist they don't appear very active, though], only marking 9 times this month, zero (0) of which were for pages marked for the first time. Both community translation admins used their global history and rights to get the role and only stop by occasionally, so having one who ''actually'' edits here would be nice.

::This reply echos my philosophy of a sort of wiki-[[Q166005|xenophobia]] (the term xenophobia is probably too harsh, and I wouldn't consider myself one in real life, but it's the best word I can think of), I generally distrust users with a lot of global rights (both global sysop etc. and large amounts of local rights) who come make [[m:Metapedianism|metapedian]] contributions, not as people but to their ability to handle Wikifunctions and Abstract Wikipedia as incredibly unique and technically complex projects.

:::You don't bother me, it's fine. I think they definitely have a place, they can be useful and they usually are. Obviously local admins and what have you that earned their roles through the trust and reputation of the specific community they are in are going to occupy a more trusting position in my mind than a global sysop or global ''anything''. Specialized role members are good and healthy in the long term; I think we are giving these privileges to global users sparingly as the project is still in its infancy and as core contributors emerge and take up key positions we will have a more well-rounded and self-sustaining community with less global privileges needed to take up certain tasks. Wikifunctions probably needed some Foundation members or other staff to act as functioneers initially while the general community was still orienting themselves with WikiLambda and working on applying for the role, but now we have [[f:Special:ListUsers/functioneer|74(!) of them]] and the number of normal members using their specialized skills outnumbers those who were "grandfathered" in (for lack of a better term) or similar. The wiki is young—it just needs time. I myself have been considering applying for sysop privileges since they are obviously needed (there being exactly Zero of them at the moment); I've been weighing the pros and cons of such a commitment, it's obviously a lot to take up. I wish your sysop request went through, I think you would have made a great admin here. I'm unsure of what others think of my capabilities, I'm rather in-and-out around these social spaces so I don't know if there's much to go off of. — [[User:Theki|rae<sup>5e</sup>]] <[[User talk:Theki|talk]]> 15:55, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Totally agree, and I'd support a sysopship request as well, though I'm apparently not good at assessing what the community considers supportable in admin candidate ;).
::::Off-topic, but interestingly, the sysop toolset allows you to grant yourself translation adminship. I'm not sure if sysops are expected not to grant themselves the permissions (kind of like how on enwiki 'crats are expected not grant themselves any rights without discussion despite having the technical rights), but I did it to myself on WF because [https://www.wikifunctions.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=84940 another sysop had]. Additionally, the functioneer right [[Special:ListGroupRights#functioneer|exists on this wiki]], with the same rights on WF, despite all of them not doing anything on this wiki. I believe this is because, on the technical side, both AW and WF are powered by the same MediaWiki extension (Wikilambda), with one wiki set to a mode for abstract articles and another set to a mode for ZObjects. [https://dag.wikipedia.org/wiki/Di%C5%8B%27gahim:ListGroupRights#functioneer Checking the Dagbani Wikipedia] supports this theory.

== Policy drafts ==
Hi all! I've written some draft policies and guidelines over the last few days. We're not a bureaucracy, so the point is not to set some rules but to kick off some discussions as to how our wiki will work.
So far, I've created:
* [[Abstract Wikipedia:Notability|a notability guideline]]
* [[Abstract Wikipedia:Deletion policy|a deletion policy]]
I've written them as my opinion on what should happen, but I'm hoping to align them with community consensus as we discuss them more. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 13:44, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

== To abstract Wikipedia or be the Abstract Wikipedia ==
There is a discussion happening about what the [[Abstract Wikipedia:Notability|notability criteria]] for Abstract Wikipedia should be, and in trying to participate I've found my idea of Abstract Wikipedia is awfully abstract. Is Abstract Wikipedia supposed to abstract Wikipedia, as in abstracting information from existing articles on the language Wikipedias (barring new contributions), or is it supposed to become the Abstract Wikipedia, supporting collaboration across all languages like it's the language Wikipedia to end all language Wikipedias (allowing new contributions)? I thought the answer would be obvious, but the name Abstract Wikipedia is a bit ambiguous. Am I missing something? [[User:Some helpful person|Some helpful person]] ([[User talk:Some helpful person|talk]]) 02:16, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
:I think ({{ping|DVrandecic (WMF)|p=?}}) the idea is (and I personally prefer) the latter. I believe that, given the fact that it's much easier to write a concrete article than an abstract article, and the fact that the community of potential future contributors on enwiki is skeptical ''at best'', we ultimately will never expand beyond the size of other wikis, but I see no problem with allowing volunteers to add information not on other wikis (it's probably not the most effective, but they're volunteers, beggars can't be choosers), as long as it's not vandalism, useless, or promotional slop. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 02:31, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Some helpful person|Some helpful person]] Abstract Wikipedia is a Wikipedia, where people can collaborate across languages on articles, which can then be used to fill gaps in the existing Wikipedias. Whereas I expect that current Wikipedia articles might be used as a convenient starting point for many of the articles in Abstract Wikipedia, this is more a consequence of Wikipedia being one of the best places to go to to find reliable knowledge, but that is not part of how it is supposed to work. So, this is not to abstract the existing Wikipedias, but to collaborate on an Abstract Wikipedia. At no point is this meant to replace existing Wikipedias.

:** This could then be suplemented by helper templates: <nowiki>{{Call|Z26039|{{Wikidata item argument reference}}|{{Wikidata item reference|Q634}}|{{Language argument reference}}}}</nowiki>
:* This would result in "[[f:Z26039|subject is instance of (string)]] (wikidata item reference, [[d:Q634|planet]], language)"

== Marking NLG Default text ==
Some NLG functions give default texts, like [[f:Z33420|Z33420]] will give text like "Paris ∈ {city}". sometimes in other languages the English text is show. Currently there is no visual clue that these texts are not normal text in the requested language. I propose we mark these text with color <span style="color:magenta;">Paris ∈ {city}</span> with something like <nowiki><span style="color:magenta;">Paris ∈ {city}</span></nowiki>. To have this configurable/maintainable this could be included in a function, called NLG default text or so, with a text as input an a text in color as output. The exact formatting like magenta color or gray background or something else can be discussed/decided later. To have it even more configurable on personal stylesheets it could use a class like <nowiki><span class="NLG Default text">Paris ∈ {city}</span></nowiki>. What do you think? Could somebody make such a function already? [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 12:00, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
:The are technically just monolingual texts in a language called "multiple languages". I threw a prototype together really quickly, [[f:Z35839]].

::OK, thanks, I added it to [[f:Z26039]] and works as expected, see [https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Z26039?call=%7B%22Z1K1%22%3A%22Z7%22%2C%22Z7K1%22%3A%22Z26039%22%2C%22Z26039K1%22%3A%7B%22Z1K1%22%3A%22Z6091%22%2C%22Z6091K1%22%3A%22Q64%22%7D%2C%22Z26039K2%22%3A%7B%22Z1K1%22%3A%22Z6091%22%2C%22Z6091K1%22%3A%22Q515%22%7D%2C%22Z26039K3%22%3A%22Z1555%22%7D here]. The test for the function with default text now fails because it now is in magenta color. That was to be expected. I will leave the tests unchanged if that is OK with you, as we might need to change the exact formatting.

== Questions on a simple fragment example "The Eiffel Tower is a monument" ==
Moved from [[f:Wikifunctions:Project chat]]
Hello. I would like to be able to use the function [[f:Z26039]] to generate sentences like "the Eiffel Tower is a monument" or "la torre Eiffel es un monumento" in Spanish. It already raises a lot of questions.
Question 1: I should be able to set the first input "entity" to {{Q|Q243}} and the second input "class" to {{Q|Q4989906}} and get the correct sentence, shouldn't I? Just checking.
Question 2: [[f:Z26039]] calls a language-specific function like "Spanish article-less instantiating sentence" [[f:Z26337]], which uses the label of the Wikidata item to get the text for "Eiffel Tower", which is similar to the lemma of the lexeme. But this would not be acceptable in production, would it? The item label "belongs" to all Wikidata users, not to Abstract Wikipedia users, and there is no guarantee what it might contain, such as a parenthesis for disambiguation. Or am I wrong?
Question 3a: We need to have a lexeme for the combination "Eiffel Tower" in each language, don't we? For instance in languages with gender, the lexeme is the only place to find the gender. It is true that if we know that the equivalent of "Tower" is the head word, syntactical information can be found under the lexeme for "tower", and it would be good to use a system like that. But the only place that the syntactic dependency information could be located is under the lexeme.
Question 3b: At present for [[f:Z26039]] etc. to work, we have to add any forms or syntax information to the lexeme of the whole phrase, such as "Eiffel Tower". But property {{Q|P5238}} with attributes {{Q|P9763}} and {{Q|P9764}} can be used to define the structure and avoid duplicating the syntax information. What lexeme would be used for "Eiffel" in this case? Would it be the same as a lexeme for {{Q|Q20882}}? That makes no sense to me. I propose that there should be a dummy lexeme in each language which could be added to {{Q|P5238}} instead of a real lexeme to mean "invariant element".
Question 4: As has already been pointed out elsewhere, the fragment functions do not work well with the initial definite article in languages like English, Spanish and German. Examples:
* "'''The Eiffel Tower is a monument.'''" The item label "Eiffel Tower" omits the article and so the result omits the initial "The" in English. French, Spanish and German are similar.
* "'''The Sun is a star.'''" Similarly the article is wrongly omitted, also in French, Spanish and German.
* "'''Westminster Abbey is a monument.'''" This is OK in English and German as no article is needed, but not in French or Spanish where it is, for instance "La Abadía de Westminster es un monumento".
* "'''Latin is a dead language.'''" Also this is OK in English and German but not in French or Spanish, where an article is needed.
* "'''Jupiter is a planet.'''". This does not need an article and is OK in all the languages; I include this to show that you cannot assume that there is an article in all cases in French and Spanish.
How should the language functions find out whether an article is needed? In some cases, where the lemma is a phrase like "Abadía de Westminster" in Spanish, I think that it could be deduced, but in general there is no rule to give the answer. Using different rendering functions according to the case is '''not''' a solution, although it might work for a few specific languages like these four. It would not be acceptable because there will be many, many other cases of syntactical choices to be made for all the different languages, and we cannot expect the person writing the abstract code to take them all into account. So I suppose that a declaration in the lexeme is needed to solve this problem. I suppose that there must already be linguistic terminology for this problem, but I don't know it.
I would be grateful for any comments on any of these questions. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 15:02, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] I will try to answer a few of your questions, although I am not linguist.
::@[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] Thanks for your answer. I will add my comments in your answers below. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 18:42, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
:1. Yes I agree the correct inputs for "entity" is {{Q|243}} and the second input "class" is {{Q|4989906}}.
:2. In case no lexeme information is needed (for gender or so) the Wikidata label of {{Q|243}} should be OK. Labels in Wikidata don't contain parentheses for disambiguation. For instance there are many cities called Amsterdam like {{Q|478456}}. {{Q|959016}} and {{Q|727}}
:: Well I sometimes add disambiguation parentheses in the case of taxonomic items, for instance I use the label "Sphaerodes (fungus)" because the genus name ''Sphaerodes'' is both a fungus and an insect. As far as I know, it is allowed to add a parenthesis like this to the label. When selecting the item this is not needed, since the description is also visible, but when looking at the genus name on the page, one would not be able to tell whether the link goes to the fungus or the insect, and sometimes such links get muddled up. If there should be a rule that the label must be the same as the lemma text, then I think that needs to be agreed and publicized.
:3a. In case gender is needed, for example for gender for La Abadía de Westminster I think we need lexemes
:: Yes, so it seems to me that this means that for languages like French and German, every single item needs a lexeme. On the other hand, in a separate conversation it was suggested to me that genders might be established programmatically, and the lexeme would only be needed in exceptional cases. This seems to require an architecture which is different from what I was expecting, and certainly not available at present for the fragment examples (surely the logic will be too complicated for composition code alone). Even in English, many items may need to be used in the plural; the rendering function will need to find the plural of the given item. It can execute a heuristic function (add "s", change "y" to "ies", etc.), and a lexeme is only needed if the label word is "irregular". But note that it has to query the lexeme every single time to see if one exists, in which case it must take precedence.
:3b. I don't know what you mean, so I can't answer that.
::It is a detailed question about how to fill in the attributes of {{Q|P5238}}.
:4. You are right some examples like Sun is a star" are incorrect and need an article for some languages/some lemmma. I don't know if there is a linguistic terminology or Lexeme property that would indicate it needs an initial definite article.
:::Yes. In fact, the strange thing for me is rather that in encyclopedia entries, the article is omitted in the article heading. For instance, in the examples above if the English labels were given as "The Eiffel Tower" and "The Sun", and similarly in the other languages, the fragment examples would work and where would be the problem? In paper encyclopedias, this would mean that many entries would come together under "The". Anyway, I don't think this can be changed and so a property is needed. I would have thought that the property would have to be on a lexeme object.
:: On {{Q|727}} in English the noun Netherlands has an additional "the" in English. This is added by [[f:Z32645]] item indicates definite article, English. Functions should be created for each language, and added to the appropriate sentences. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 11:58, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
:::Oh, Z32645 is interesting. The two implementations are very different, aren't they? The function doesn't work for "Eiffel Tower", but the first implementation could do if "the Eiffel Tower" were an alias. That could be instead of the lexeme property(?) But if we are imposing conventions like that, I suppose we need to talk to other Wikidata users.
:Even for western languages there are a lot of different rules; What about the many other languages in the world. All this makes it a real challenge. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 22:04, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
::Yes, I think it is an extreme challenge, especially withou being able to call external functions in Python etc. Surely this is too complicated for composition? Thanks again for your answers. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 18:42, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
:::This was discussed at [[:commons:File:Abstract_Wikipedia_Volunteer_Corner_2026-06.webm|Monday’s volunteers’ corner meeting (8 June 2026)]]. It was also discussed to find a place where to discuss this in detail. Please mention that place here if that place is known. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 11:26, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
::::See also [[f:Wikifunctions:Status updates/2026-06-19#The or not the, this is (the?) question]]. [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) [[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] ([[User talk:HenkvD|talk]]) 11:39, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::@[[User:HenkvD|HenkvD]] Thanks for the links which you have just made here and also thanks to whoever is involved in covering the question in the status update. I don't think that the status update talk page is used for such comments, is it? Until there is another suggestion, I don't know a better place to discuss than here, and so I will carry on here.
:::::I am guilty of not getting around to commenting on the status update discussion - there is always more that I want to say before publishing. Now I will try to keep my edits small.
:::::My view was that a lexeme would be necessary almost for every item in every language, but in the meeting it was argued that often syntactic information could be found through programmatic "rules of thumb", and that in that way, lexemes would be needed only in cases of irregularity. Note that it is still necessary to search for the lexeme properties in every case; the programmatic rules would only apply if the lexeme property is missing.
:::::My main comment now is that a programmatic approach is too complicated for doing everything by composition and so we urgently need to be able to call functions from Python/Javascript. I hope that that will come soon. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 15:28, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
:At the volunteers' meeting it was even suggested that grammatical genders could be determined programmatically sometimes. For instance in Spanish most rivers are masculine and in French trees are generally masculine. This type of rule depends on having a rigorous system to determine the type of item. Example: I believe that an oak tree is {{Q|Q12004}}. For some reason the label for English is "Quercus" (whereas other languages use the common name) - this highlights a problem with using item labels. Q12004 has subclass {{Q|Q148993}}, which has subclass {{Q|Q10884}}, so it is possible to determine that it is a tree, but surely this is too complicated to be worthwhile. Perhaps there are languages where the type of item gives a sort of gender, but I think they would need a property "linguistic item type" rather than trying to maintain the information in the existing item properties.
:Sometimes the form of the word indicates the gender, for instance in Spanish words ending in -a are often feminine. But there are many exceptions (el optimista, el tema), for which lexemes would be needed, I suppose. If there are very few exceptions, they could be listed explicitly.
:In the case of French, Spanish and German genders, I think that the simplicity of just putting the gender on the lexeme outweighs the possible savings in quantity of data through using "rules of thumb". [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 15:54, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
::As mentioned in the Status Update, it is difficult to decide how to determine whether an item needs a definite article in the simple examples.
::I have a comment: it is strange that we want to leave out the article in the label and the lemma. In normal use, I think the article is only left out in "headline-speak" (for instance "Man falls from Eiffel Tower") or if you are talking to the thing ("Eiffel Tower, I love you"). I don't know where else we want to omit the article in actual text.
::So one proposal for a solution is that the lemma on the lexeme should include the article in these cases. It should be defined as the string which should be the value of ''x'' in the sentence: "''x'' is a thing". That might solve the problem, but we would always need to have a lexeme in these cases and it would be necessary to explain this to all lexeme users. A second proposal is to have a new property on the lexeme which gives the string which we need (or to have an indicator that an article is required, but that would be more complicated as code would be needed to render the article).
::Another possibility, supported in the meeting, would be somehow to work out from the construction of the name whether an article is needed. For instance if the name is constructed as a phrase, it often wants an article ("the Bridge of Sighs", "the Isle of Man"). In English a phrase with "of" is a good indication that the article is needed. Phrases of the form <qualifier> <noun> often want an article (for instance "Eiffel tower", "Irish Sea", "United States"), but they often don't (for example "Beachy Head", "Lake Ontario", "London Bridge", "Westminster Cathedral", "Fair Isle", "Land's End"). So that is no use if we don't know what type of qualifier and noun it is.
::There are rules for specific types of item (for instance in English, I think lakes don't need an article and seas do need an article). If we are going to use rules like that, it will be necessary to maintain the correct categorization in Wikidata. P31 and P279 might be relevant, but since these properties were created in another context, the management of them would be difficult. Lists of exceptions are possible. The solution could vary from one language to another. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces|talk]]) 16:26, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
:I would like to suggest the following possibilities for holding the definite article requirement information and also other syntactical information such as genders and other language options. They are in order from "more data-driven" to "more programmatic".
#Hold the information as a property of a lexeme attached to the item.
#Hold the information in the label or description of the item.
#Hold the information in a list (per language) in a property of the item.
#Use a programmatic rule, based possibly on item properties, with a list of exceptions. The exceptions could be:
#*in the lexemes (or the labels/descriptions),
#*in Wikidata item properties per language, perhaps using the "tabular data" type,
#*as a Wikifunctions list item, similar to the configuration tables used in the fragment examples, or
#*hard-coded in the Abstract Wikipedia wikifunctions.
:For instance in order to find a French gender, the programmatic rule could be "Assume it is masculine", but exceptions could be flagged in the lexemes. In all cases, the function would have to search for a lexeme for the item, and if found would have to search for a gender property with value "feminine". The advantage of the programmatic rule would be that for a masculine lexeme no gender property, and perhaps no lexeme, would be needed.
:From a theoretical modelling point of view, I think that much the best place to put this information is in the lexeme objects. Well, the item label and description are also per language, but I think they do not "belong" to Abstract Wikipedia. In the meeting there was much more sympathy for a programmatic approach, which I would say is more pragmatic. There is a balance between on one hand trying to reduce the number of database elements and properties, and on the other reducing the complexity of the programming and the rules which have to be known by users.

It occurred to me that an abstract page that works well enough for one language output might be broken for another, so it would be good to have some sort of indicator in the UI of which languages might be ready for transwiki and which still need preliminaries.

These functions are considered useful for composing abstract articles, in that they have typical use cases in composing them and have broad support across languages. For more discussion and tracking of fragment functions, see [[:f:Wikifunctions:Abstract Wikipedia/2025 fragment experiments]]. For a list of functions relating to natural language, see [[f:Wikifunctions:Catalogue/Natural language operations/Global language functions]].
== Common sentence templates ==
=== Subject is instance of ===
Function [[f:Z26039|subject is instance of <small>(Z26039)</small>]] creates a sentence in the form {{xt|"X is a(n) [instance of] Y."}} — or abstractly, <code>{{color|red|entity}} is a(n) [instance of] {{color|blue|class}}</code>.

: <hr/>
: Result: {{xt|"Nairobi is a city."}}
The '''entity''' field (X in the formula above) should be the subject (typically, but not always, your abstract article's subject). The '''class''' field should be what the entity is being described as.
Note that, in some languages, this function converts the first letter of the subject's name to uppercase, which may not always be appropriate. If needed, you can use [[f:Z32953]] to undo that behavior.
=== Subject is a qualified instance of ===
Function [[f:Z29591|describing entity with adjective / class <small>(Z29591)</small>]] creates a sentence in the form {{xt|"X is a(n) Y Z."}} — or abstractly, <code>{{color|red|entity}} is a(n) {{color|blue|adjective}} {{color|darkorange|class}}</code>.

=== Defining role sentence ===
[[f:Z28016]] creates a sentence in the form {{xt|"X is the Y of Z."}} — or abstractly, <code>{{color|red|subject}} is the {{color|blue|role}} of {{color|darkorange|dependency}}</code>.
; Example
: {{color|red|Subject}}: {{Q|Q3870}}
: {{color|blue|Role}}: {{Q|Q5119}}
: {{color|darkorange|Dependency}}: {{Q|Q114}}
: {{color|dimgray|Language}}: English
: <hr/>
: Result: {{xt|"Nairobi is the capital city of Kenya."}}
The '''subject''' field should be the subject (typically, but not always, your abstract article's subject). The '''role''' field should be which role it serves to the dependency. The '''dependency''' field should be what is related to the subject.

: Result: {{xt|"Yangtze is the longest river in Asia."}}
=== State location using entity and class ===
[[f:Z26570]] creates a sentence in the form {{xt|"X is a Y in Z."}} — or abstractly, <code>{{color|red|entity}} is a {{color|blue|class}} in {{color|darkorange|location}}</code>.
; Example
: {{color|red|Entity}}: {{Q|Q3870}}
: {{color|blue|Class}}: {{Q|Q515}}
: {{color|darkorange|Location}}: {{Q|Q114}}
: {{color|dimgray|Language}}: English
: <hr/>
: Result: {{xt|"Nairobi is a city in Kenya."}}
The '''entity''' field should be the subject (typically, but not always, your abstract article's subject). The '''class''' field should be what is being described as. The '''location''' field should say where it is located. It should only be used for physical locations.
=== Collective role sentence ===
[[f:Z32326]] creates a sentence in the form {{xt|"Xs are Ys of Z."}} — or abstractly, <code>{{color|red|subjects}} are {{color|blue|roles}} of {{color|darkorange|dependency}}</code>.
; Example

: Result: {{xt|"Stars contain metals."}}
The '''subject''' field should be the subject (typically, but not always, your abstract article's subject). The '''object''' field should be the entity or concept that the subject is acting upon or relating to (i.e. what receives the action in the sentence). The '''verb''' field should describe the type of relationship or action between the subject and object, typically expressed as a base concept that can be converted into a natural verb.
== Utilities ==
=== Sentence-case section title from Wikidata label ===
[[f:Z32145]] makes a capitalised section title (level 2 heading), using the label of the chosen Wikidata item from the appropriate language or a fallback.
; Example
: {{color|red|Entity}}: {{Q|Q309}}
: {{color|dimgray|Language}}: English
: <hr/>
: Result: {{xt|"<nowiki><h2>History</h2></nowiki>"}}
=== Plural sentence-case title from Wikidata label ===
[[f:Z32839]] is a plural version of [[f:Z32145]].
; Example
: {{color|red|Entity}}: {{Q|Q121769}}
: {{color|dimgray|Language}}: English
: <hr/>
: Result: {{xt|"<nowiki><h2>References</h2></nowiki>"}}
=== Join text-like objects into HTML fragments ===
[[f:Z32234]] combines certain text-like objects (currently [[f:Z6|strings]], [[f:Z11|monolingual texts]], and [[f:Z89|HTML fragments]]) into one big HTML fragment. It is useful for making multi-sentence paragraphs and avoiding the divide between the 3 types in linguistic functions.
=== Monolingual text as HTML fragment w/ auto-langcode ===
[[f:Z29749]] converts a monolingual text into an HTML fragment. If the target language is not matched, it prepends a language code. This helps to still display a fallback when the functions available to a language are incomplete.

"Z89K1": "K. Gopalakrishna Rao is regarded as one of the Navodaya (Renaissance) short story writers and a distinguished personality who worked for Kannada literature.\n\n\nHe was born on August 9, 1906, in Kodagenahalli village of Devanahalli taluk. His father was Nanjundayya and his mother was Subbamma. He studied at the National High School in Bengaluru and later obtained a B.A. degree from Central College.\nFrom his student days, Gopalakrishna Rao was influenced by Kailasam in drama and by Masti Venkatesha Iyengar in short stories. In his early days, he used to write poems in English.\nHe started an organization called “Srirama Vijaya Sangha” and served as its secretary. Senior members like A. Sheshappa, H.N. Subbarao, and H.S. Shivaramaiah were part of this group, along with T.S. Shamaraya, who was one year younger than him. After reading his English poems, T.S. Shamaraya suggested that he write in Kannada. Inspired by this, in the next meeting he recited a devotional poem and then read a poem titled “Kamaleya Huccu.” This poem was later published in the magazine “Suvasini.” Writers such as T.N. Sri, M.V. Seetharamaiah, and T.S. Shamaraya encouraged his literary growth.\nThrough the “Srirama Vijaya Sangha,” he organized several writers’ conferences. His house in Gandhi Bazaar became a center for literary gatherings where enthusiasts gathered in large numbers. \n\nHe worked in various government departments and served for some time as the private secretary to Chief Minister K. Hanumanthaiah. He collected his poems written in memory of those days and published them as “Kumarakripa.” Many of his poems were also published in the magazine Jeevana.\nHe edited a prose work titled “Modern Prose Literature.” His short stories are included in collections such as Udugore, Bangarada Dabu, Nati, Ayda Hattu Kathegalu, Sotu GedDavaru, and Rajayi. His essay collections include Kensington Park and Haridasa Sahitya. Inspired by Kailasam, he also wrote several plays such as Ase-Nirase, Kanyarthi, Sakukusu, Rugna Shayyé, Chirasamasye, Aparadhi, Kavikutira, and Parkina Lachumi.\n\nHis literary activities began with the Karnataka Sangha of Central College. He served twice as the Secretary of the Kannada Sahitya Parishat (1947–48 and 1956–61). He also worked as the editor of Jeevana magazine and as an associate editor for several other publications. He held positions as president and vice-president in various literary organizations.\nHis wife was Sushilamma, a simple, spiritual woman and author of “Shri Guru Charite.” Gopalakrishna Rao had deep interest in music, poetry recitation, devotional singing, drama, and literary discussions. His spiritual inclination can be seen in his poems like “Darshana” and “Divya Jyoti.”\nHe dedicated his life to literary activities and passed away on October 8, 1967.\nHis daughter, Janaki Srinivas, later established the Gopalakrishna Rao Foundation.Through this foundation, his works such as Kensington Park, Collected Stories, and Collected One‑Act Plays were republished."
