This is my proposal for improving the Latin declension templates.
These templates are designed to take one or two arguments.
{{{1}}} = stem without macrons
{{{2}}} = stem with macrons (if needed)
These templates are designed to take as few as two arguments or as many as four.
{{{1}}} = singular nominative without macrons
{{{2}}} = stem without macrons
{{{3}}} = singular nominative with macrons (if needed)
{{{4}}} = stem with macrons (if needed)

In the case that you wish to use this template, but you need to modify one cell, then you can use to the optional cell re-write parameters. For example:
{{User:Maikxlx/Template:la-decl-3i|ignis|ign| abl-sg = ] ] <small>(rare)</small>
Results in:
case \ number | singular | plural |
---|---|---|
nominative | ignis | ignēs |

dative | ignī | ignibus |
accusative | ignem | ignēs, ignīs |
ablative | ignī
igne (rare) |
ignibus |
vocative | ignis | ignēs |
Every cell can be rewritten this way:
nom-sg | nom-pl |
---|---|
gen-sg | gen-pl |
dat-sg | dat-pl |
acc-sg | acc-pl |
abl-sg | abl-pl |
voc-sg | voc-pl |
In the case that you wish to use this template, but you wish to add information to one cell without rewriting it, then you can use to the optional cell extension parameters. For example:
{{User:Maikxlx/Template:la-decl-3i|avis|av| abl-sg-ext = <sup>1</sup> }} <small>1. Also occurs as ]</small>
Results in:
case \ number | singular | plural |
---|---|---|
nominative | avis | avēs |
genitive | avis | avium |
dative | avī | avibus |
accusative | avem | avēs, avīs |
ablative | ave 1 | avibus |
vocative | avis | avēs |
1. Also occurs as avī
Every cell can be extended this way:
nom-sg-ext | nom-pl-ext |
---|---|
gen-sg-ext | gen-pl-ext |
dat-sg-ext | dat-pl-ext |
acc-sg-ext | acc-pl-ext |
abl-sg-ext | abl-pl-ext |
voc-sg-ext | voc-pl-ext |
