Re Rank Information on Nuvoc portal page: I've implemented something which
I hope fits the bill for now, until someone can come up with a technically
satisfying alternative.
Initially the Nuvoc page comes up as-is, but a prominent link lets you see
an alternative page with ranks shown for every relevant primitive:
"See this page <http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/NuVocWithRank> with details
of verb ranks"
...No it's not beautiful, but no one is forced to look at it.
Would it make sense to put the ranks in place of the operands? Monads with one
rank on the right and dyads with one rank on the left and one on the right?
E.g., the line for Negate and friends would be
-
Negate <http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/minus> 0 . 0 Minus
<http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/minus#dyadic> 0
-.
Not <http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/minusdot> 0 . _ Less
<http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/minusdot#dyadic> _
-:
Halve <http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/minusco> 0 . _ Match
<http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/minusco#dyadic> _
which seems easier to translate from the table to an instance in some code.

IMO this doesn't lessen the need for Henry's proposal. If everyone is
happy, I'll make arrangements with Chris Burke for a bulk update as per the
mashup:
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Voctest/eq_iac2
@Henry -thanks for offer. The only help I need is if you could please write
the content for the singe page:
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/RankInfo
I hope this page is final in terms of structure like headings and
Anchor-targets, which I've made to your spec. If you want to change any of
these, please tell me real soon before I alter 100-odd pages to point to it.
@Henry & everyone - yes go ahead and edit the Nuvoc collection. I'm not
asserting sole ownership of it -- it's on a wiki after all. PM me if you
want to draw my attention to an alteration once you've made it. Not to ask
my permission, just to help me keep up-to-date.
I'll post a warning before my bulk-update, and again when it's done. Be
warned: in the intervening period any edits of individual pages will
regress.

I agree, tool tips would be a pain for people using a tablet. For other
people, it would probably take a bit before discovering them, and linking a
description in words in a tooltip to a page explaining it would probably be
a pain.
I don't know enough about moinmoin but would it be an idea to provide a
switch button to switch colouring based on part of speech or rank?
Another thing I have not seen pop up, but what with ranks of derived verbs,
the ones generated by the application of adverbs and conjunctions?
