Most of the time, there is only one translation per language, and most languages don't assign gender to adjectives (Yiddish certainly doesn't). In fact, if there is gender given for a Yiddish adjective, it ought to be removed. I'll give you a specific case next time. —[[User:Metaknowledge|Μετάknowledge]]<small><sup>''[[User talk:Metaknowledge|discuss]]/[[Special:Contributions/Metaknowledge|deeds]]''</sup></small> 02:34, 27 December 2012 (UTC) | | :::::::: Now it's all good.

What if the problem had only appeared, say, on pages whose titles contained <tt>_</tt>? You should always give steps to reproduce. (Since this is a script that I'm actively working on, and since the problem showed up in the first case I tested, the only cost of not giving steps-to-reproduce is that it made a little bit more work for me: I wasn't aware of any pages with Yiddish-adjective-redlink-translations, so I had to create my own test case. Not a big deal. But in general, when asking a developer about a possible bug, the cost of not giving steps-to-reproduce is very likely to be that your request will be ignored or de-prioritized. So I'm making a specific request, but also giving you general advice.) —[[User: Ruakh |Ruakh]]<sub ><small ><i >[[User talk: Ruakh |TALK]]</i ></small ></sub > 02:46, 27 December 2012 (UTC) | | ::::::::: Re: "Actually, that was the only case I was thinking of": Well, but you had no way of knowing what cases would be affected, and no way of knowing what cases I would test.

(I'm not sure what the purpose of "check[ing] for e.g. {{temp|yi-noun}}" would be, since it would have no way of knowing how to use it.) —[[User: Ruakh |Ruakh]]<sub ><small ><i >[[User talk: Ruakh |TALK]]</i ></small ></sub > 02:50, 27 December 2012 (UTC) |
