Summary: Regularly publish updated word lists and definition
lists
Product: Wiktionary tools
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: hippytr...@gmail.com
The world at large would greatly benefit from Wiktionary publishing lists of
words and definitions on a regular basis much like Wikimedia publishes raw dump
files of all its wikis.
I envisage several levels, the rougher ones will be trivial to implement. The
better ones will take a little more work. For each English is obivously wanted
with all other languages also desired.
1. Raw list of words (page titles).
2. List of words with all "common misspellings" removed.
3. As per 2. but with all inflected forms removed (alternative spellings should
stay)
4. List of words per 3 (or possibly 2) with all definitions but lacking
information on homonyms, example sentences, quotations, etc
5. As per 3 but with senses clearly separated from homonyms
Note that 4 and 5 will require some structure. A very basic XML format seems
obvious.
