These templates do nothing that couldn't be replaced by {{head|el|noun form}}
etc. and they are by far the worst offenders in terms of templates using invalid params; more than 5000 entries each in Category:Pages using invalid parameters when calling Template:el-adj-form and Category:Pages using invalid parameters when calling Template:el-noun-form.

{{el-proper-noun-form}}
, {{el-verb-form}}
. Heads up @Saltmarsh and @Sarri.greek. Benwing2 (talk) 06:01, 5 October 2024 (UTC){{noun-form}}
doesn't, but they do it a good deal easier. It would be more constructive to ask that offending templates with invalid parameters be corrected. As one who spend their time creating Greek lemma forms I say "please keep your mits off"! — Saltmarsh☮ 06:42, 6 October 2024 (UTC){{head|el|___ form}}
without any loss of functionality (in fact, there will be a gain in functionality by doing this!) is reason enough to delete.{{head}}
. @Saltmarsh, you can now write as little as {{h|el|nounf}}
or even {{h|el|nf}}
for the equivalent of {{el-noun-form}}
, which is actually a lot shorter. @This, that and the other, there is no custom functionality in {{el-verb-form}}
that's actually in use; the only functionality is setting |1=ind
for an indeclinable verb form, which isn't actually used and in any case seems a contradiction in terms. Benwing2 (talk) 05:59, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
{{el-part}}
instead, so all good to delete {{el-verb-form}}
. This, that and the other (talk) 09:59, 9 December 2024 (UTC)@Benwing2, Sarri.greek Fine - but any necessary weeding will not be done by me, someone else can bot those positional parameters. The invalid parameters were created when a positional transliteration was no longer acceptable - a change (I think) not created by me. — Saltmarsh☮ 19:00, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
{{el-proper-noun-form}}
was deleted outright while the others were deprecated due to the number of uses. Benwing2 (talk) 07:32, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
