The following discussion has been moved from Wiktionary:Requests for cleanup (permalink).
This discussion is no longer live and is left here as an archive. Please do not modify this conversation, but feel free to discuss its conclusions.
Not the Wikisaurus page, but the terms referenced by it.
Most of the entries have one or more spelling variants, what with disagreement on how to spell syllables with schwas and various consonants in these phonetically-spelled informal terms. Only a few, however, acknowledge any of the others. Apparently people have been adding these right and left without checking for existing variants.
For instance: thingamabob has a pretty complete entry, but no alternative forms section, thingmabob lists thingamabob as an alt form, thingumabob is a redirect to thingamabob, thingummabob (just added) also doesn't mention anything else. Only thingamabob mentions the Wikisaurus entry.
Can anyone make some order out of all this? Chuck Entz (talk) 04:55, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
