Why? That seems like a disimprovement. Korn (talk) 07:49, 9 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Well, partly because that seems to be standard. Additionally, I presume German plural nouns work like Yiddish ones, wherein the plural isn't marked for gender at all in terms of its agreement. We might as well centralise the data in one place by keeping gender information at the lemma. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 17:27, 9 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
It does not seem to be standard or to be the only standard. Other examples:
NHG (i.e. High German from 1500 till now) does have remnants of a gendered plural, especially: zween - zwo - zwey/zwei (probs now more common in southern German dialects). Also, it's not just a matter of agreement in plural, but also for differentiating different words: Sometimes the gender is needed to differ between words. Examples: Toren (m. vs. n.), Deutsche (m. vs. f.), Deutschen (n. vs. m. vs. f.). And it's better to add gender and plural marking, even if not really needed as in Antibabypillen, than to drop such markings were it's needed as in Toren.
