From the code, I don't see any advantage in using these templates instead of the general {{compound}}, {{prefix}} and {{suffix}}. They do the same thing, with only the difference that they are coded specifically for Hungarian. —CodeCat 17:47, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

The {{hu-prefix}} and {{hu-suffix}} templates are used in the etymology section, not in the headword section. Please do not delete them. It is unfortunate that hu-compound was deleted without consulting any Hungarian editor. There was a reason it was created. The Hungarian language has lots of compound words and they have different grammatical types. The template was eventually supposed to show the type of the compound word. This is no longer possible. --Panda10 (talk) 12:55, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
- How is that unique to Hungarian? English compounds have different grammatical types (noun, verb, adverb, adjective, etc.) Mglovesfun (talk) 13:08, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
- What I meant was the classification of the compound structure, not its PoS. "A compound can be subordinative: the prefix is in logical connection with the suffix. If the prefix is the subject of the suffix, the compound is generally classified as a subjective one. There are objective, determinative, and adjunctive compounds as well."

- re "the template was eventually supposed to show the type of the compound word": in fairness, it existed for four and a half years without anyone adding that functionality, or even mentioning on the talk or documentation pages that adding it was a goal. But if and when such a functionality is added, the format of the templates is (as noted above) otherwise identical, so it's simple enough to bot-switch {{compound|foo|bar|lang=hu}} back to {{hu-compound|foo|bar}}. - -sche (discuss) 08:18, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
