Hi,

I was wondering if it would be possible to include inflection tables in a future version of the English wiktionary file, as is already done in for example the Russian and German versions. I'm not sure if this is related at all to the namespace issues in some of the wiktionary dumps or whether it has just been left out in the interest of saving space or avoiding clutter. I unfortunately don't have the processing resources to compile my own and would appreciate if this could be considered in a future iteration.

Thanks

Which enwiktionary are you referring to? There are a couple out there, and I can influence my own only of course.
But other than that...
Yepp, should be no problem.... if somebody tells me which namespace to add.

Sorry, I should have specified. I was specifically referring to the version maintained on the RWTH Halifax ftp server, as those seem to be the most well-maintained that I'm aware of. I simply forgot there were also other versions available. Would this happen to be the version over which you have control?

Based on the assignment at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Namespace, I assume it would be covered under namespace 10, which is for templates. Curiously, the inflections already work much as desired in both the Russian and German Wiktionaries, which are also provided on the same server. I hope it can be as simple as including the namespace when compiling.

Yep, I am generating most of the wikipedias on halifax. Actually the February update for the wikipedias are running. Will take until mid of the month; Then I will generate a new enwiktionary and will include the namespace 10. The Russian and German Wiktionaries are coming from other contributors.

@Iaz, I generated and uploaded enwiktionary-20230201 with namespace 10. It took 50h :)
Is this what you are looking for?
Please, let me know.
