To be, in French
Hi MolecularPilot. I add a translation in French to your function about the verb « être ». Why we don't use the 22 tenses ? For example, there is the possibility of having tenses stored like months (like Z16107) and possible to be translated, just like pronouns in order to be able to have drop-down lists translatable in a large number of languages. I have no knowledge of programming. These elements could be used to conjugate other verbs. I also wonder about the units of measurement.

- Hi, thank you for adding the translation! I was just starting simple with the function, so I only coded 3 tenses (Présent, Passé composé and Futur simple) but having more is definitely a plan for the future.
- I think having types (and thus dropdowns) for the tenses and pronouns would be great because it would make the functions a lot easier to use and as you said, there's a lot of other conjugation functions to make, today I was planning on making a function for regular -er verbs.
- Unfortunately, types can currently only be created by WMF staff and the type request page is horribly backlogged. I have created type proposals for both French tenses and subjects which would make using the functions a lot better (see Wikifunctions:Type proposals/French tenses and Wikifunctions:Type proposals/French subjects) so hopefully they will eventually get implemented if enough people express support/a want for them. There's also a proposal for a units of measurement but we are still waiting for them to be made by the WMF and the proposal hasn't been touched since November 2024.
- Thank you again for your feedback on the functions and helping to do the translations! :) MolecularPilot (talk) 01:25, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- I have just updated the function to support all 22 tenses! :) MolecularPilot (talk) 02:02, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- I've now made Conjugate regular -er verb (Z21617), Conjugate regular -ir verb (Z21624) and Conjugate regular -re verb (Z21632) for conjugating -er, -ir and -re verbs in all 22 tenses for each possible pronoun or subject. :) MolecularPilot (talk) 04:16, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- Good work, I start to translate. Jérémy-Günther-Heinz Jähnick (talk) 09:36, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Bibliography
Hi MolecularPilot. On the French Wikipedia we have fr:Modèle:Bibliographie (code is at fr:Module:Wikidata/Références), it follow fr:ISO 690. Do you think it is possible to create a function where, with a given Q-ID, we can display for example "Amélie Nothomb, Stupeur et tremblements, Éditions Albin Michel, 1999 (ISBN 2-226-10950-1, OCLC 231856420)." ? You have an exemple of the use at Robert Machut in my town. I think it would be a great function, surely composed of smaller functions, because there is a gain to share datas about books in different Wikipedias, even if we don't have the same language.

- Hi! I definitely think it is possible (sorry I didn't see this sooner), that's an amazing idea for a function and I think it would be really helpful. I'll start working on some of the code. Thank you for finding this! :) MolecularPilot (talk) 05:52, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- I use Bibliographie and derivatives since years (it is an ecosystem of templates about references), in fact it should be the base of reuse of datas of Wikidata in Wikipedia articles : an user add a source in its language, all the Wikipedias (that have the program) benefit of the reference. Here, with such a function, an user translate an article : he already have the list of books. Jérémy-Günther-Heinz Jähnick (talk) 15:49, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah, I think it would be very useful for stuff that like. I've had some difficulties but I've nearly got it ready! :) MolecularPilot (talk) 08:19, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Regexes
Somewhere, I feel like I saw you say that the regex module in Python isn't available on this wiki (or maybe it was someone else). Regardless, it is. JJPMaster (she/they) 21:44, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi JJPMaster! Welcome to Wikifunctions! Yes, I think I did say that, it was because I was putting
import reat the top of the file, which caused an error! Thanks for giving the link, I see now that it's possible toimport rebut under the function signature definition. :) MolecularPilot (talk) 00:43, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
