Types of compounds

Would anyone know why Category:Dutch bahuvrihi compounds appears in Category:Dutch compound words (it goes for the other language-specific categories as well), but Category:Bahuvrihi compounds by language isn't in Category:Compound words by language? --Barytonesis (talk) 20:22, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

@Barytonesis: I'm guessing that's just how the "by language" categories work: they only contain the language categories, not other categories. For another example, see Category:Lemmas by language, which doesn't contain nouns by language, verbs by language, etc. which are placed in Category:Lemmas subcategories by language instead. — Eru·tuon 01:52, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

@Erutuon: So you'd suggest that I create the intermediate Category:Subtypes of compounds by language? --Barytonesis (talk) 12:34, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

@Barytonesis: Something like that, but it would have to be added to the category tree modules somehow. — Eru·tuon 18:26, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

I can see how categories are added to the category Lemmas subcategories by language in Module:category tree/poscatboiler/data/lemmas, and I was puzzling over how the category was created, but it turns out it doesn't use a module. So I think you can just create the category, then put fundamental = "Subtypes of compounds by language" in the data tables for each of the compound categories in Module:category tree/poscatboiler/data/terms by etymology. — Eru·tuon 18:36, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Root sort

@Benwing2 Thanks for the great work! Is it possible to sort the categories like Category:Maltese 3-letter roots by their root? For now, they are all treated as starting with t. Thanks in advance. فين أخاي (talk) 00:39, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

@Fenakhay: Done. Benwing2 (talk) 00:53, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

@Benwing2: Apparently, it is not working in Category:Arabic 3-letter roots فين أخاي (talk) 01:24, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

@Fenakhay: Once you change the sort category, it takes awhile for the changes to register unless you do a null-save of each page. I did that for the Maltese pages but not the Arabic pages, which is why you see the Maltese pages in the correct place. I'll go ahead and do a run for Arabic; it should be done in about 45 minutes.

Sorry, new to wikipedia editing so hope this is the right format. What about the word fåtölj from the french fauteil? Tjmm93 (talk) 22:47, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
