Hi Roman, I have changed kouř to classify kouřit as a related term instead of a derived derm. If you are positive that "kouřit" is derived from "kouř" and not the other way around, please correct my change. Happy contributing! --Dan Polansky 10:46, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
We don;t use the template {{see}}
anymore. The new template is {{also}}
. The problem was that there is a language whose ISO code is "see", and we are therefore (slowly) switching out the old template for the new one. --EncycloPetey 20:30, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

{{pl-conj-ai}}
and {{pl-conj-ap}}
, see also Category:Polish templates (which, however, contains a few obsolete templates). When the forms are in some way generated, it is probably relatively easy to extract the entries. (In my personal opinion, it is a lot more useful to have inflected/conjugated forms as a table rather than scattered across thirty different pages.) -- Gauss 17:31, 9 November 2008 (UTC)Hi Roman. You are right, all -ovat verbs are conjugated the same way, so we do not need both templates. Best Regards, Karelklic 18:42, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Note that all language specific templates (such as decl templates) must start with the language code, e.g. "cs-" Robert Ullmann 18:53, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
{{cs-decl-noun}}
except that you have to type more with the new one? -- Gauss 18:55, 9 November 2008 (UTC){{cs-decl-noun}}
is that I can copy text directly from the Czech Wiktionary, for nouns which use cs:Šablona:Substantivum (cs). It is an experiment, and these templates are identical, so maybe I will redirect Template:Substantivum (cs) to Template:cs-decl-noun, when I manage them. --Ro-manB 18:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
{{cs-decl-noun}}
works just fine. I find it undesirable to adjust Czech templates at English Wiktionary to match what has become a convention at Czech Wiktionary. Please, think twice before making substantial changes to templates widely used in the Czech words in English Wiktionary. Note that Czech Wiktionary has currently only 5362 entries, only some of them Czech, and that there is {{cs-decl-noun-auto}}
, which does a lot of work for you. --Dan Polansky 20:20, 9 November 2008 (UTC){{Substantivum (cs)}}
from all the pages where it has been used. Please, do not add it again. If you want to use that template to simplify taking over Czech declensions from Czech Wiktionary, then please {{cs-decl-noun}}
, and then{{Substantivum (cs)}}
with "subst:", like "{{subst:Substantivum (cs)...}}", which replaces the template with its content before it is saved to the page, leading to the entry of the standard {{cs-decl-noun}}
template. --Dan Polansky 06:56, 10 November 2008 (UTC)Hello Roman, Gauss has raised a doubt about the correctness of passive participles generated by Romanbot from {{cs-conj-ovat}}
, at User talk:Dan Polansky. Can you tell us the sources describing Czech conjugation on which you base the robot, and which can be used to verify that the entries created by the robot are going to be almost exclusively correct? --Dan Polansky 08:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Are you sure this is a useful category? Is there a similar category for any other language? --Dan Polansky 18:09, 16 November 2008 (UTC)¨
Hello Roman, when using {{cs-decl-noun-auto}}
, you have to verify for each entry that what it produces is indeed correct. Unfortunately, the template is not without flaws, and requires human supervision. For instance, it is currently incorrect for Alžířan, where it has "Alžířanové" and should have "Alžířané"; the same goes for Američan. I'll have a look if I can fix the automatic declension template for these cases. --Dan Polansky 18:00, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
{{cs-decl-noun}}
, and enter the declension manually, or you can skip the entry. Intentionally leaving entries malformatted is undesirable. --Dan Polansky 11:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
