Can we delete EXACTLY same name for maps?

For example, Badwater Basin is the same for all languages, should we delete other language strings when they are exactly the same? By default, It should take the en: version.

Pictogram nope.png Nope Some of these untranslated maps may get a official localized name in the future.--祝编安/All the best

Hmm, first, I found it very unlikely, second, if it's the case, they can perfectly add the needed language code to the corresponding map name... SpyAmogus (talk) 06:35, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
It's fine, yes. We're about to reach the dictionary's page limit, so cleaning it up (in this case, removing unused tokens and duplicate translations) is something I want to do eventually. — Tark 22:21, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
@Tark I could help you, maybe starting by official maps to see if it doesn't create any problem (shouldn't). SpyAmogus (talk) 06:33, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
I'm gonna make an exception and comment on this one, the only problems I see with this dictionary is the missing organization (unlike Dictionary/items) and 500 DYK facts, Dictionary/descriptions also reached its limit Mgpt (talk) 14:25, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

DYK section

Template loops everywhere, I would move the section to "Template:Dictionary/dyk" Mgpt (talk) 20:23, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Alright, I'll create a template for them (will be linked here if I don't forget). Mgpt (talk) 00:28, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Translation switching for "The Days Have Worn Away" string is not working in Polish

I've already added the translation for it in April, but it still shows the English translation. Other languages work fine. User Denied signature.jpg Denied (Talk) 11:44, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

Seems like WindBOT hasn't updated it at all. I've added the Dutch translation for it to see if it might force WindBOT to actually update it now.

Yeah I've contacted WindPower about it.

It works now. User Denied signature.jpg Denied (Talk) 07:38, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
Yeah I manually updated the strings due to being on the Main Page. It's not really something that should be done for other strings, but I made a one-time exception for this string + the operation bolted barbecue string due to their Main Page presence.

Probably missing string data here: Template:Dictionary/common strings/Special:SyncData. Mgpt (talk) 23:55, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
