Wiktionary talk:Inflection-table templates

I’d like to standardize the HTML in inflection tables. This could help build them with shared templates or scripts, style them consistently and user-customize their appearance, and help maintain and improve them efficiently.

Step 1 is to do a survey, identify and evaluate the common and diverse characteristics and areas for improvement.

The first five tables are put forward as examples on Wiktionary:Inflection-table templates.

• Placed under “Conjugation” section heading
• In collapsed NavFrame
  • Medium-grey background
  • Text aligned left
  • Title copy “First Conjugation
• Low-intensity colours
• Coloured heading groups for case, number, and person
  • Blue: indicative
  • Green: subjunctive
  • Orange: imperative
  • Yellow: infinitives and participles
• Toned data groups
  • Light: default
  • Dark:
• High contrast in text
• Intermediate header rows in large table
• Inconsistent italics in some headings
• Rules between headings but not data, light toned
• Adds category to this talk page

Template:la-conj-1st

• Placed under “Conjugation” section heading
• In collapsed NavFrame
  • Medium purple background
  • Text aligned left
  • Title copy “Conjugation of (strong class 5, prefixed)”

• Medium contrast in heading text, high contrast in body text
  • Empty divider rows
• Rules throughout, light toned
• Doesn’t add category to this talk page

• Placed under “Conjugation” section heading
• Similar to ], above, except:
  • Title text centred, “Conjugation of (See Appendix:Spanish verbs)”
  • Colour in main left headings only, tone in subheadings and top headings
  • Infinitives and participles last instead of first
  • Heading copy “1^st person” instead of “first”
  • Empty divider rows replace repeated number headings
  • Doesn’t add category to this talk page

Template:es-conj-ar

• Placed under “Declension” section heading
• In collapsed NavFrame
  • Medium grey background
  • Text centred

This was page was emptied out per this BP dicussion (pages that try to list a lot of info for every language are unmaintainable). --Bequw → τ 19:11, 29 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

It's a bit of a weird concept. First of all, you're only gonna use an inflection-table for a language you know well. Secondly, to find such a template, I'd either guess at a name, such as typing Template:pt-decl into the search bar (pt being Portuguese) or type in Category:Portuguese templates. Trying to remember the name of this page would come a distant third; like Bequw says, it would be very difficult to maintain and it's quite empty now. Delete.

Kept for lack of consensus and discussion. --Chicken is fun (talk) 15:57, 1 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'm RFDing these but I think at least part of those pages could be merged into a single page, perhaps Wiktionary:Language-specific templates or even into Wiktionary:Templates which is mostly empty right now. In any case, the headword-line page seems redundant to Category:Headword-line templates by language. —CodeCat 18:47, 10 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Merge. I will delete the unmaintainable list and link to the category. —Michael Z. 2013-02-11 00:09 z

I see – each category listing needs a link to the relevant guideline before the list should be deleted. —Michael Z. 2013-02-11 00:13 z

• They've both been redirected to Wiktionary:Templates, as there's absolutely no useful information on either that isn't already on that page. --ElisaVan (talk) 11:54, 21 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
