I took some time off to focus on my studies and noticed a major change has occurred. I am trying to gather all the pertinent information so that I can not make mistakes as I edit. I noticed you are involved in the deletion process and was wondering if you can help me out. What has replaced the context labels from Category:Context labels? Any help would be appreciated.

They're now in Module:labels/data. You can delete the old ones, but they need to be orphaned first if they're not already.

Can you point me to some pages that have used this "module"?

{{context}}

I am thoroughly confused. Do I still use the {{context}}template? So for example, for an archaic, british english, military term.

{{context|US|archaic|military}}

(US, archaic, military)

or is there something new. Because what I am reading on the modules:labels/data pages seems to infer that that whole family of lables/templates are being deleted.

What should I be doing on a page that I edit today?

It's used the same way as it was before. The only difference is that you can't use the label templates alone, like just {{US|archaic|military}}. You have to put {{context}} in front for it to work. You can also use {{cx}} which is a shorthand. {{label}} is another alternative which takes the language code as its first parameter, instead of as lang=.

What has changed is the way the label data itself is stored and processed. When you want to create a new "recognised" label, you don't create a template, you add an entry for it in Module:labels/data instead.

That helps. Sorry I have been hard at work reading the Wiktionary:Beer_parlour#No_more_Mr_Bad_Guy soap opera. Can I ask another off-the wall question. Is SemperBlotto really gone? and is that the only repercussion from that whole "fiasco".

That, and the range of personal attacks against me has made me stop wanting to edit much on Wiktionary or interact with other people.

Semper isn't gone, and I sincerely hope CodeCat doesn't leave either, even though people keep being jerks.
