A long time ago there was discussion about the usage of ; and , in definitions of characters with multiple pronounciations/meanings.

If I remember correctly the makers said they had chosen for ; as standard separator and , only to separate meanings of different pronounciations.

I noticed recently that in many (all?) definitions there are only ;.
Did I miss a change in definition formatting? I already changed a couple because I thought it was a typo but they keep coming up.

I always thought that semicolons are used to separate distinct, discrete definitions (for instance 得 can be used both to mean "must" and as a modifier particle - these are two distinct definitions) whereas the comma is used to clarify a single definition or for grammatical purposes within a single definition.

I'm probably wrong, though.

I agree with GrandPoohBlah
(silly name tho)

So is "citroenamy." ;)

sonorier is right: we intend to use semicolons to separate different definitions and commas to separate definitions that correspond to different readings.

The preferred semicolon and comma style hasn't changed to my knowledge. Not all 多音字 have easily separable readings and definitions, so that could be why you're not seeing that format on some words. If that's not it, can you give some examples of characters where you're seeing the problem?

Hm, I have a bad memory. One I edited recently is 假. I saw many others, but couldn't be bothered looking up which definitions corresponded to what reading and after a while I thought something must be wrong because kept seeing them like this.

I'll let you know when i come across more, although usually i fly over them too fast, to notice or to be bothered to stop

Ah, I see. Does look like we've lost that formatting on many words. I'll see about getting that restored; shouldn't be too hard.

cool, thanks, good luck
