:Shouldn't we put commata in the coding between word_in_greek, transliteration_thereof and translation_thereof?!? 
Doesn't

look weird to you?!?!

be better (and more easy to be automatically written thus without having me to manually add them as I did now)?Or is this some MOS rule I can't find or some Anglosaxon convention that I don't know of?!?P.S. The same for :Template:lang-gkm.Thanatos|talk|contributions 08:30, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe, maybe not. Whether to separate words in non-Latin alphabets and their transliterations and translations by commas or by nothing, or to put one or more in a parenthesis is an unsettled question as far as practice is concerned. I personally like not having commas between them. It's kind of like not having a comma between a word and its pronunciation in IPA. Using a comma seems to indicate that the different ways of writing the word are items in a list, rather than simply forms of the same word. That causes complications when there is a list of words written in these different ways. I don't think there's any official Wikipedia policy on this; it seems to be left up to the people writing about the individual languages being transliterated. Different conventions (commas, no commas, parentheses, no parentheses) are used in different articles. It's anarchy. I guess this issue hasn't seemed important enough to have policy formulated about it. — Eru·tuon 21:11, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: To me simply forms of the same word and list of words written in these different ways are not mutually exclusive and IPA pronunciation falls under the same category... It is a list of words, it is logical and I think empirical to have pauses between the words, therefore it's just a perfect place to include commas. But I guess it's a de gustibus non disputandum est thing and convention that I'll just have to accept... Thanatos|talk|contributions 10:12, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why no Commas-Commata?!?! 

message: How about we add a parameter allowing "Koine" to be specified? I think some of the disagreement regarding using "Ancient Greek" to label Greek text is due to the fact that Greek words borrowed into Latin were borrowed during the Koine period, which is sometimes not included under "Ancient Greek" — or that's what I gather. (Other disagreement is due to the fact that many "Greek" words in English are compound words made from Ancient Greek and Koine roots, compounds that did not exist in ancient times.) If this template had an option like  does for the language variety, this would remove one of the two problems. — Eru·tuon 04:10, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

message: I have created Module:Ancient Greek, a copy of a Wiktionary transliteration module, which provides an automatic transliteration function (for instance,  results in . I would add it to this template, except many articles already have transliterations written out. Maybe I'll figure out a better way to proceed... — Eru·tuon 01:18, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Automatic transliteration 

message: The quotes on the transliteration are problematic sometimes, as in the last example, ;
Here the "lit" is also misplaced. Could we have a separate "extra" parameter, as in some other templates, so that this can be separated from the transliteration parameter? HLHJ (talk) 01:03, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
