Wiktionary discussion
Was there any discussion about this on Wiktionary with Wiktionary people? I wrote wiktionary-l/2016-December/001376.html for now. --Nemo 16:19, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, we asked the communities and collected their feedbacks here and below. Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk) 09:59, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a "no". I specifically wrote "on Wiktionary with Wiktionary people". --Nemo 18:01, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * We have been contacted multiple times on fr: and en: Beer Parlours, although not so much recently because the extension was in development. Darkdadaah (talk) 14:01, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Title whinge (minor)
It is usually a really bad idea to take a specific jargon and apply it as the title to something which is similar but different yet intended to be used by the audience which uses the precise jargon you are coopting. E.g. log rollers used under heavy objects to facilitate movement should be called wheels (even when adapted to factory use - Lineshaft roller conveyors should be wheel conveyors, right?) Or all systems for converting source code to commands should be called assemblers. - Amgine (talk) 20:39, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I tend to agree, it is not immediately clear that all this extension does is replace interlanguage links. Darkdadaah (talk) 14:03, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I also. I was terribly confused by what this was supposed to do, even though I remember the early discussion. The extension would be better called "sametitle". --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:37, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Indeed. The functionality has exactly zero to do with cognates.  Very poor choice of names.  &#8209;&#8209; Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 17:17, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Interwiki sorting
is it normal than the French interwiki link appears before the Deutsch one here: http://enwiktionary-cognate.wmflabs.org/index.php/Test ? Looks like a bug. Automatik (talk) 20:21, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

I wish IW links still follow the MediaWiki:Interwiki config-sorting order on each local wiki. See also Interwiki sorting order. --Octahedron80 (talk) 08:36, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
