All nl-adj-entry-xx and nl-verb-entry-xx templates in Category:Dutch entry templates
[edit]MewBot has been up and running for a while, and has been rather successful at handling form-of entries for Dutch adjectives and verbs. In the ideal case, this means that no entry templates for verbs or adjectives are really needed anymore, since MewBot already takes care of that. I think they can be deleted outright, which saves a lot of pointless maintenance work. Also, anyone think maybe the noun templates can go as well, since we have accelerated entry creation for those? —CodeCat 10:34, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Well, all these should be standardized, but there's no reason why we can't have a bot and do it manually. For example
{{new fr plural}}is useful for pages that already exist but need French adding to them (say for example observations). I' very weakily favor keeping them and cleaning them up. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:38, 3 August 2010 (UTC)- The bot can add to existing entries, even if there is already a Dutch section on the page so that's no problem. There is no case that the bot can't really be used for, and furthermore all existing verbs have already been done by the bot so there are no entries remaining to use those entry templates on. Right now, any new verbs that get added are generally submitted to the bot immediately by various editors. —CodeCat 11:03, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- I certainly agree with that. I'm just saying this isn't necessarily a reason to delete these templates. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:13, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- We have one delete, one week keep, and one something else. Anyone else have any objections? —CodeCat 20:38, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

- Keep for whenever the bot stops running, but (for now) don't link to them from MediaWiki:Searchmenu-new or the like.—msh210℠ (talk) 19:35, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
