obsolete synonyms of [[šķīvis]]

Hi CodeCat! You've recently complained about the format of obsolete forms like kaninķenis in Latvian. I've made a few changes in one such case, and I'd like to see if you think it an improvement. First, I created two new templates ({{obsolete synonym of}} and {{archaic synonym of}}) that directly mention synonymy (unlike {{obsolete name of}}, which you objected to). Then, in šķīvis, I moved the competing obsolete synonym tallerķis and its variants from ===Alternative forms of=== to ===Synonyms===, with {{qualifier|archaic forms}} in front of them to mark them as archaic. I then used {{archaic synonym of}} in the definition line of tallerķis (while keeping its variants, telerķis and telēķis, as {{alternative form of}} tallerķis). If you think this is better, then I'll change kaninķenis (and all other similar cases) to this format. --Pereru (talk) 08:35, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

I didn't really complain, I just said that it was an unusual way to format an entry and that we don't have any entries like that anywhere else. I presumed that there is some kind of consensus against such entries, or at least common practice. So you should probably ask in the Beer Parlour about it.

My bad. I'll ask about it in the Beer Parlor later today then.

But do you think šķīvis is more similar to the (presumed) consensus you were talking about than kaninķenis? I would indeed like to improve it.
