Is there are a reason why is this not defined like a usual context label? This way it's really counter-intuitive in usage, especially by the fact it uses unnamed parameter to accept ISO code and not the usual lang=. --Ivan Štambuk 14:20, 23 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
- Nbarth probably hasn't found
{{context}} yet ... is being used very oddly too. Robert Ullmann 14:48, 23 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
- It's not really a context. Perhaps this should be used in === Trivia === sections, and should be default have a sentence explaining what autological means. Conrad.Irwin 17:55, 23 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
- How it's not a context? The definition of (deprecated template usage) autological is strictly sense-dependent. Putting it outside the definition lines in a separate section that would have as a label the sense gloss with respect to which the word is considered autological seems to me just too much work that could be otherwise solved more elegantly.. --Ivan Štambuk 20:17, 23 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
- This is sense-dependent, but "autological" does not describe the context in which a term is used with a specific sense, so is not a context. I see no reason, myself, that this should go on a sense line, or be otherwise visible to users except as a category.—msh210℠ 20:28, 23 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
- You're right, it's not a property of the usage of a sense, it's more of a property of the sense itself applied to it's written form. I would argue that
{{neologism}} and similar fall into the very same category but anyway. Maybe one day when we have enough of those to create a cat for meta-context labels. ^_^ --Ivan Štambuk 00:59, 24 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
- We should really have two seperate "beginning of line" templates. One for context, the other for grammatical information. But that's just my opinion :) Conrad.Irwin 00:23, 28 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
