RedirectMaker/Planned Features

These are features that are planned and/or requested for RedirectMaker:

1
A means of generating Romanji transcription redirects from Kanji and Kana.
 * This was a request made on Discord. Kanji will probably be impossible. However, Kana should be convertible with some caveats.


 * The JSL standard will not be supported because kana does not have a common native system for transcribing pitch information, which JSL includes.
 * Kunrei-shiki romanization should be supportable, although it has two variants.
 * With one possible issue with 'ん', Nihon-shiki should be easy.
 * Hepburn Romanization has a lot of variations, so it'll be a nightmare to support.
 * Romanji transcription should not be enabled by default because sometimes the Katakana used were in chain from base forms, and it'll become pointlessly messy.

2
Autoextraction of base forms from Modern Infoboxes
 * This was requested on Discord. Apparently, the raw info should be reachable via the Nirvana API. Because the code will inevitably be a crapshoot, I suggest that this not be enabled by default. It was suggested that a MediaWiki message could be used to configure what a wiki called the fields that should be extracted. I'm not sure if I can code this, but it's certainly a subproject with potential.

3
Latin transcription redirects of Korean.
 * It should be enabled by default.

4
Cyrillic->Latin redirect transcription
 * It may be very useful for wikis in Serbian or certain other Eastern European languages which use both Cyrillic and Latin. I suggest that it be enabled by default.

5
Hentaigana->modern Hiragana conversion
 * This may be useful for wikis which deal with nouns which predate modern spelling reform. But it shouldn't be developed for a while, as Hentaigana was only added to Unicode in version 10, and it'll be a while before it's feasible to include this, due to font issues. If both this and Romanji transcription are implemented, this should be run before Romanji transcription. This should be enabled by default except for stuff which doesn't map perfectly.

6
Bopomofo <-> Hanyu Pinyin transcription
