Template:fi-new-adj/documentation

This template is meant to be used when creating new entries in the same way as other "lang-new-pos" -templates. Compared to others there are some "guiding words" in Finnish where other templates use blancs. This serves a) to make focusing the cursor easier, especially to those who are using a touchpad or pointing stick b) as a reminder on what is supposed to be entered in that specific space. The idea is to doubleclick the guiding word and replace it with new text.
