TODOs

Things I've taken note of on Wiktionary that need tending to.

General things that need tending to:

• Entries about biological diets, like carnivore, animalivorous, insectivory, folivore, herbivorousness, should use the same format for their etymologies and should be consistent in the way they link to derived and related entries. At the moment, it isn't clear which of these words have their roots in classical Latin, which of them come from New Latin terms coined by scientists, and which ones are neologisms coined directly in English by analogy.
• The set theoretical sense of set#Etymology_4 (page set, English listing, etymology 4, sense 8) needs a thesaurus page considering the set#See_also section (page set, English listing, etymology 4, section "See also").
• Woods of various types of trees (e.g. spicewood, elmwood, hardwood, etc) should all be listed as both countable and uncountable.
• loon#Dutch: Dutch etymology 3 is unsourced and dubious, and doesn't even follow the headword-description layout!
• Look into Category:English_terms_prefixed_with_auto-_(self) and sort pages of the parent category into the right subcategory, and look into why most entries are ordered by base without the prefix, while others aren't (probably has to do with the distinction between base and suffix). Also look into the suffixes -nym and -onym; should autonym be listed under "O" or "N" in Category:English_terms_prefixed_with_auto-_(self)?
• a great deal, a good deal, good deal, and great deal should be consistent in which one redirects to which one, they should link to each other as coordinate terms, and they should be correctly listed on Thesaurus:quantifier.
• The hyponyms on the scope page aren't all hyponyms. People are using it as a "derived terms" list instead.
• A category "terms derived from doublets" or "terms that are their own doublets" would be cool; see this Beer Parlour comment. ruby red, one hundred percent, head chef, fava bean, likelily (*ga-līkaz-līkaz-līkaz-ê).

Pages that should be created:

• "More bang for your buck" is a common way of using the entry bang for the buck.
• "bezigen" is Dutch for "to make use of, to practice, to engage in, to be busy with".
