It's a bit off-topic here, but I wanted to reach a larger audience, so
here goes:
Seeing that the Chinese Wiktionary is empty, I decided to start some
work on it, but I found out that even the name needs attending to, as
there are three different names that people have referred to as the
Chinese term for Wiktionary. In traditional Chinese, they are: 維基字典,
維基詞典, and 維基辭典.
Now, the first one is used in the English Wiktionary entry on
Wiktionary as its Chinese translation. The second is used in the
Chinese Wikipedia to refer to Wiktionary, and the third was what I put
down when I wrote down the Chinese main page (as well as some
appendices/indices that should be similar to the Wiktionary Appendix
namespace).
字典, 詞典, and 辭典 all mean the same thing, but (at least in the dialect of
Chinese I use - a hybrid of Cantonese and Putonghua) 字典 is a dictionary
of single characters, 詞典 is a dictionary of single characters and
multiple character phrases (ciyu), and 辭典 I use as a "blanket term"
(despite the fact that according to ''Xinhua Cidian'', 辭 is synonymous
with 詞) for dictionaries, and thus I favor the use of 維基辭典 for
Wiktionary. I don't know what the MediaWiki software uses (I think
it's 維基詞典 based on probabilities).
I'm sure that there are people who disagree with me on this, but what
should be done?
PS. After this debacle, a lot of the text in the Chinese Wiktionary
still refer to it as Wikipedia, and I can't do those changes. Perhaps
someone can help me out.
