I was answering on that one and the message immediately was sent, sorry.

This is great news :-)

Of course, being already used to the templates and how they facilitate to share contents I fully agree to that. Also for alternate spellings etc.: I don't like them to be just redirects - sometimes it happens that they could have a slight difference of meaning in a certain context not everybody is aware of or that a word of a foreign language with that spelling exists - so it would mix up things, since some would have a redirect and others not. It would never be linear. That's why I myself adopt the "one word/spelling one page". (btw. the same is valid for verbforms etc.)

So now it is time to prepare the list for upload :-)

Ciao, Sabine

Hoi, Thanks to Brion the nds wiktionary is now lowercase enabled. This means that all article names will indicate the proper spelling when a word is added.

I have a 2775 long list of nds words with German translations that I am given permission to use thanks to Germaniennet. I am happy to upload it to the nds wiktionary. It would be great if you adopt the template system that is used by many of the other wiktionaries. So have a look at it and let me know what you think of it..

In your mail to the wikitech-l you said that you want to use redirects to indicate alternate spellings. It would be a better idea to treat them like we do with translations that is, have a proper description of the word and its origin (what orthography or origin) and refer for all the rest to a selected word.
