Really?
editIs this really translingual, what languages other than English use it? Mglovesfun (talk) 09:12, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
Do we allow HTML tags and other syntax to be part of our dictionary? (test rendered as <b><i><u>test</b></i></u>
) If so, should they be verified as being in common use, and how should they be used? At the end, the beginning, or the middle of a clause or statement? And is this the correct entry to use, or should it be relegated to the unsupported titles appendix instead, where it can use the < and > tags in the title?

- Entry looks really wrong; if it were actually in use and attestable as such we'd keep it, but I can't imagine it's the case. HTML isn't considered to be any 'language' so it doesn't meet CFI, but it's claiming to be humorous use (in English) of faux-HTML. But... nah. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:47, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- Based on the Web page listed in the entry's References section, the pagetitle is correct (sans angle brackets). This is not an HTML tag, but something (if our entry — and said Web page — is correct) people use to tag their sentences to indicate sarcasm online. (Compare, though the analogies are imperfect, (deprecated template usage) quote used to tag a quotation, and (deprecated template usage) :-) used to tag something lighthearted.) It is English and carries meaning, so seems to be inclusible if verifiable.—msh210℠ (talk) 07:41, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
- I've heard the same for strikethroughs (as in "I did not mean to say that"). TeleComNasSprVen 05:51, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- It shouldn't be in NS:0 if it's an unsupported title. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:20, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

- I have no problem with it, as long as it's used in running English text. DAVilla 06:25, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
