{{User:-sche/Babel}}
Hi, I'm -sche ({{IPA|[ʃeɪ]|lang=en}}, like [[shea|the tree]]). I keep a [[User:-sche/exceptional|Hall of Fame and Hall of Shame]] containing what I see as some of the best and worst things on Wiktionary.
<!--
I tend RFV from time to time, create entries for the names of the languages Wiktionary includes{{,}} and work to ensure Wiktionary calls each language by its most common distinct English name. As I work with language codes to do so, I overhauled ''[[wt:Languages]]'', ''[[wt:Families]]'' and ''[[wt:Dialects]]'' to better document Wiktionary's language-code-naming system. In the past, I also worked to [[User:-sche/Adjectives draft|update]] [[wt:(contracted; show full)

Small projects include [[User:-sche/Eponyms/Adjectives|listing adjectives derived from personal names]], [[User:-sche/river city|listing river-related compound nicknames for cities]] and [[User:-sche/Rivers/Adjectives|river-name adjectives]]{{,}} and [[User:-sche/Namibian German|working on Namibian German]].
⏎
-->

Large projects on my to-do list include updating the dismally out-of-date [[Wiktionary:Style guide]], updating [[Wiktionary:Entry layout explained]], and improving the relationship of those two pages to each other. Likewise, updating and sorting out the relationships between [[Appendix:English pronunciation]] <s>(and [[WT:English pronunciation key]], which redirects to it, and [[Appendix:IPA chart for English]], which can probably be consolidated</s>, as well as [[Appendix:IPA characters]], [[Wiktionary:IPA]]/[[Wiktionary:International Phonetic Alphabet]], [[Wiktionary:IPA pronunciation key]] and [[WT:PRON]]/[[Wiktionary:Pronunciation]]. More generally, going through everything in the WT namespace, cross-linking when appropriate and RFDing empty pages.

Oh, and sooner or later [[User:-sche/missing codes|these codes]] all need to be created or moved to a Wiktionary:-namespace record of which codes have been intentionally excluded, while [[User:-sche/retired codes|these]] need to be retired or intentionally retained.

* <s>Someone should make a (preferably well-reasoned) proposal to merge <s>Nynorsk and Bokmal back into the still-used(!) header ==Norwegian==. Likewise,</s> Akan vs Twi vs Fante.</s> (''done'')

* At one point, I thought I might work to clarify CFI of place names (Ottawa, Louvre), brand names (especially of not-obviously-physical products) (still?) and phrasebook entries (like [[this one]]). There were previously also wide expressions of support for changing the following sections of CFI, but votes have yet to be proposed: Idiomaticity, Natural Languages, possibly Constructed Languages, ''(Brand Names), Names of Specific Entities''.

* Maintenance categories to monitor: [[:Category:Categories needing attention]], [[Special:AbuseLog]], [[:Category:Pages with broken file links]], [[:Category:Entries with non-standard headers]], [[:Category:Pages with script errors]], [[:Category:IPA pronunciations with obsolete or nonstandard characters]], [[:Category:Entries which need Greek script]].

* Useful things:
: '''For deleting many entries quickly,''' there's [//en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=User:-sche/common.js&oldid=16458170 this js] from [//en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ruakh&oldid=16458074#Help_deleting_some_redirects Ruakh].
: To filter out non-Irish hits in searches, there's [[[[bhfuil]]]]. To filter out non-Welsh hits, include [[[[wrth]]]] in the search.
: [[Template:languageshift]] (add e.g. American Sign Language to it so it doesn't expect the category "[[:Category:American Sign Language language]]").⏎
