Looks like you're having some trouble with this. It's important to do this correctly, because it ensures that entries categorise correctly, generate links, and are machine-readable. Part of the problem seems to be that you're referencing protolanguages that aren't on Wiktionary, like Proto-Cerrado. Should we add that? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 00:41, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- This is correct, and in fact I was about to ask you if something could be done about this. Am I right that only admins have the rights to assign or change parent protolanguages of specific languages? The correct structure should be as follows: [txu], [suy], [sai-tap], [apn], [gvp], [xra], [ram], [sai-pyk] must be daughters of [sai-nje]; [xav], [xer], [acs], and [xkr] should be daughters of Proto-Akuwẽ (alt. name Proto-Central Jê; not on Wiktionary); [sai-nje-pro], [kre], and Proto-Akuwẽ/Proto-Central Jê should be daughters of Proto-Cerrado (not on Wiktionary); [kgp] and [xok] should be daughter of Proto-Southern Jê (not on Wiktionary); Proto-Cerrado and Proto-Southern Jê should be daughters of [sai-jee-pro]. I would be really grateful if you could show me how to sort this out! —Degoiabeira (talk) 00:53, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, I can add those. I'll make the new codes [sai-cje-pro] for Proto-Central Jê, [sai-sje-pro] for Proto-Southern Jê, and [sai-cer-pro] for Proto-Cerrado. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:03, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- Should be all done now. Let me know if you run into any problems, and don't forget to fix your unformatted etymologies thus far. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:23, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot! Will check if it works now. Degoiabeira (talk) 01:26, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- It seems an ancestor is missing for [xra] (should be [sai-nje-pro]); could you please check? Degoiabeira (talk) 01:57, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- Got that one now. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:05, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- Many thanks! I've just noticed that [kre] is also missing a parent, it'd be great if you could assign it as a daughter of [sai-cje-pro] when you have the time. Sorry for not having noticed that in advance. Degoiabeira (talk) 04:05, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- I thought it was supposed to be directly under Proto-Cerrado? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:13, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- Oh, this was my mistake. Yes, you are right, it must be under Proto-Cerrado. Degoiabeira (talk) 18:41, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
