the cheese Schabzieger doesn't belong here because the stress is on the first syllable. Could we have a ===Wrong Stress=== section at the bottom for these odds and ends? — DavidL 16:37 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

A fair question, which has been raised before. The Wiktionary rhyming dictionary is strict and lists exact rhymes only. Wrongly stressed words could be added, but then a rhyme for Schabzieger might be found at some point in the future (unlikely as that is), meaning that a page for rhymes ending in "-abzieger" would come into being. I'm not in favour of having a "near-rhymes" section. At the moment, a word with no rhymes but having a link to a rhyme page are linked to nothing or a page with just that word on. This might seem a little odd but it maintains the strictness of the rhymes and means that users aren't offered the chance to decide to bundle the "wrong stress" rhymes in with the exact ones.
Maybe this is better discussed in the beer parlour. — Paul G 17:17, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
