Arabic and Cyrillic
Help~! These links don't work. KYPark [T] 17:36, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Arabic كَسْتَنَاء ‎ (kastanāʾ)
 * Russian кашта́н (kaštán)


 * These work:
 * Arabic كستناء
 * Russian каштан
 * It looks like you're using special characters or something. Maybe leave out the diacritics? —guywan (talk • contribs) 19:32, 19 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your help. Now I can see the trouble more clearly. I was not using anything special, but basically did copy and paste the entries within chestnut . Their links work within Wiktionary somewhat magically (perhaps through wikt: Template:T) but obviously not interwiki. The invisible wikt magic may be to standardize the actual minor, say, diacritic differences between dialects so as to gather them within a single standard page name. It could be a tactical Wiktionary practice rather than strategic interwiki principle. To agree with that, we would need some Wiktionary-like passthrough measure.

 * ... standardize the actual minor, say, diacritic differences between dialects so as to gather them within a single standard page name. Yes. That makes more sense. I've added the named parameter  to your template as a quick fix.  → . The text with diacritics should go there, and the text without diacritics should be the second parameter. —guywan (talk • contribs) 16:35, 20 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Well done for "the betterment of Wikiversity"! Not to mention disp=, I appreciate your tagging span. KYPark [T] 05:00, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
