Thanks, I fixed the link. (I really have no idea why I put a wrong one in the first place…) odder (talk) 22:12, 3 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi,

Bawolff told me about your work on multiple collations for a site. Could you tell me how many collations can we have on a site? Did you work on Chinese and Japanese sorts by the way?

Thanks by advance for your answer,

There isn't a hard limit I guess... and I worked on some Chinese collations. Liangent 23:17, 23 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your answer. What does mean there isn't a hard limit (my English is bad)? For instance, how different sorts can we use? Would it be possible to choose a sort by default for each category (by instance with a magic word or maybe with javascript if it's easy), or we have to choose manually whenever we visit a category page? What good sort for chinese sort could you suggest? (this?) In fact, we search a chance to sort correctly the entries in Wiktionary's categories without use {{DEFAULTSORT:sort order}} in the pages. So, as we treat all the languages, it would be cool to have specific sort for certain languages at least, and a sort by default for others (who do not follow any existing sorting). If you've an idea to realize this…

That is, you can configure as many collations as you want at the same time, if sysadmins feel happy (for increased system load). Liangent 11:59, 24 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thank you again. Do you thnk it would be possible to preselect the language by default for the category's pages, using by instance something like a parser function? Automatik (talk) 03:16, 26 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

I assume this "language" means "collation" here, and it's possible. Liangent 05:36, 26 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi Liangent. Is there something new around that since then? If I understand well, you were expecting sysadmins to make possible to increase system load to allow multiple collations per site. — Automatik (talk) 17:45, 13 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
