I am currently checking the capitalisation and I have done the HIJKLMNOPQR U - I am working on the S at the moment. One of the things that is noticable is that some words for languages are capitalised and others are not in the same language. I would think that there would be a rule that all names for languages are capitalised (like en: and nl:) or not (like fr: fi: it:).
The English tendency is certainly to capitalize the language or national name when there is a clear connection, but one would still have an "english horn", "franch safe" and "chinese cabbage". The rule in this regard is unstable.

The "english horn" would be a seperate entry in a wiktionary. What I am concerned with at the moment are that ALL nouns for a lanuage in French are not capitalised. I have languages where the entries are not consequent. I would like to have people check this out for me. It is relatively easy to find all words of one language: the references for Sjabloon:-xx- where xx is the ISO 639 code for a language will give you all the words in a language.
At this moment the "wikt" template is working again in wikipedia. As the dictionary content is more and more available and moved from wikipedia, I find that the numbers of visitors in nl:wiktionary is increasing. Best of all, there are more people contributing to nl:wiktionary as a result.
