Template talk:bo-div

This useless and misguided Tibetan template no longer has any pages linking to it, as I converted all uses of it to {{ellipsis of}}, which is the proper way its uses should have been done in the first place.

See, for example, མིག་དམར, which means "Mars" in Tibetan, but is also an ellipsis of Tibetan གཟའ་མིག་དམར, "Tuesday", (གཟའ meaning "day", in a construction analogous to Germanic day name constructions like Tuesday (= "Tiw's Day"). An earlier Wiktionary user created {{bo-div}} just for the seven Tibetan day names, and in the documentation claimed it was done after the manner of {{zh-div}}, but that template is used for administrative divisions and bears no semblance to the usage in མིག་དམར for which it was originally created.

Anyway, {{ellipsis of}} is correct here, and I’ve already changed all the pages that needed it, so this can be deleted now.
