Template talk:io-noun

remove |root requirement

• There is no need to specify the root to pluralize Ido nouns. Ido has no grammatical exceptions, always the ending -o becomes -i (e.g. if the word ends in -io it becomes -ii). Nicoleta 15:25, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
  • Unfortunately, wiki templates have no way of cutting a parameter into pieces. So it can't be given sprico, for example, and derive spric (and hence sprici) from it. There's been a push for an extension to the software that runs this Web site to allow for such things, but it looks like it's not gonna happen.​—msh210℠ (talk) 15:29, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
    • Then how come the {{io-verb}} doesn't need me to specify the root? I just did krear and it worked fine.
      • Ah, because we have a workaround template I didn't know about. My comment just above was a lie; sorry about that.​—msh210℠ (talk) 15:58, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Uncountable

This template could do with a {{io-noun|-}} parameter for uncountable nouns (I assume Ido has them). The way the template is currently set out (not to use {{PAGENAME}} as the default page name) means I'd (someone'd) need to use {{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|- twice to get round it. Also, what does lang=io in span actually do? Mglovesfun (talk) 15:44, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Done - note, I also changed the head word to be by default the same as the PAGENAME. AFAICT, especially since Ido has no irregular nouns, the page name is always correct for a head word. For composite nouns, you can now specify the plural using pl= as well. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:49, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Two plurals

Hey, there are a few cases in Ido where a noun doesn't end in the conventional -o (mostly intact borrowings from other languages, like foods, for example pizza is pizza in Ido) and for that can have two different plural versions (but not more than two), can someone add that? pizza for example cant be pluralized to le pizza or pizza-i.
