Constructed languages
I notice that toki pona has its own natural language object. toki pona is not a language that naturally evolved; it was made at the beginning of this century by a single person and some volunteers. It has a not-insignificant amount of speakers, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "natural" language. I'm sure some are fluent in it but I'd be surprised if there were native speakers in the language.
In general, does the natural language type extend to constructed languages? When it specifies "language naturally spoken by humans," what does naturally exactly mean in this context? Not to be pedantic, I just feel concerned that the type is being misused for this purpose (unintentionally, of course) or that a conlang like toki pona is in too broad of a scope for a type that appears to deal mostly with natural, organic languages rather than invented ones. — rae5e <talk> 12:53, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- Natural means it's not a Programming language (Z61). Any language conceivably usable as a UI language qualifies. Feeglgeef (talk) 19:09, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
Is it possible to include new lines and/or tabs in the result validation of test cases?
Hi, Just have the title question. Thanks! Aram (talk) 17:09, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, just not through the UI. Feeglgeef (talk) 17:21, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Feeglgeef Could you clarify how to do that? I don't see any option to edit the source code—only the UI is visible to me. Aram (talk) 17:44, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
- You'll need to use something like User:Feeglgeef/wikilambda editsource.js if you want to use it on wikifunctions.org Feeglgeef (talk) 17:50, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Feeglgeef Useful script! I'm still exploring it and haven't used it yet. I'm planning to create an interesting function as things go as I am planning. I'll let you know once it's successfully created. Thanks! Aram (talk) 18:10, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Humours Suggestion...
On other porjects the central discussion has it's own name. Wikipedia: Viage Pump, Wikisource:Scriptorum, Wikivoyage: Traveller pub.. Can calling the central discussion here the 'Chalkboard" ? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:58, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- On a more serious note: Are there plans to try and implement all the common functions in the CRC handbook? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:58, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Personally, I won't be working on many functions related to scientific measurements until we've implemented something like Wikifunctions:Type_proposals/SI_units, so that the units can be attached. 99of9 (talk) 01:19, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
