@CodeCat: as the antonym of grower in the fourth sense, I'd like to have a direct link to shower#Etymology_2; is that feasible? --Barytonesis (talk) 00:45, 28 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Benwing2 I've seen this template used with |tag= (e.g. ბძგირი) and I have an idea of what it does but not exactly. Can this behavior be added to the documentation? Also, wouldn't this better be done on a per-term basis (using <tag:)? — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 19:35, 24 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
- @Fytcha Apologies for the delayed response. There was a Beer Parlour discussion a few months ago (here: WT:Beer parlour/2022/June#Making it easier to add several descendants) that led to the implementation of these dialect tags. They are also supported for
{{alt}} and do work on a per-term basis as well. I thought I documented them but apparently not. Will do. Benwing2 (talk) 02:54, 29 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

- @Benwing2: Your change in Special:Diff/69619510 seems fine to me. At first glance it looked slightly unusual (I don't think we use anywhere else, apart from IPA of course) but I guess it's better than having two pairs of parentheses in front of a term. OTOH, we could also merge the tag and the qualifier in one pair of parentheses if both are present, e.g. if we have
- Lua error in Module:parse_utilities at line 608: Unrecognized prefix, should be one of 'alt', 'g', 'gloss', 'id', 'l', 'lb', 'lit', 'll', 'pos', 'q', 'qq', 'ref', 'sc', 't', 'tr' and 'ts': modifier prefix 'tag' in <tag:ակն> in 2=մըյներ<g:p><q:something><tag:ակն>
- instead display it as
- Synonym: (Akn, something) մըյներ pl (məyner)
- Just putting this idea out there with no preference for which one is better. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 04:14, 30 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
- @Fytcha What you propose is in fact exactly what was formerly done, before I made the change. You can see what this looks like by going to and previewing Template:synonyms/documentation. I changed it because it seemed somewhat awkward-looking when there are several dialect tags, as in the example; but maybe the old way is in fact better.

- @Benwing2: Ah, I see, I missed that. Another possibility would also be to separate the dialects from the other qualifiers (within the parentheses) using a semicolon (or maybe even a vertical bar?). I'm just putting ideas out there, I have no strong feelings one way or the other but maybe @Vahagn Petrosyan who I've seen use this feature does. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 19:15, 30 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Rua: "synonym" has 2 synonymous senses (that is, if we take the second definition of synonymous…). Does this template use the first sense (same meaning) or the second (loose)? Chealer (talk) 04:53, 14 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
