Template talk:R:bg:Imena

Changes

@Vahagn Petrosyan Thanks for your various improvements to the template. But could you please explain:

1. What is the purpose of the module invokation in generating the link? Is it to get e.g. |pages=293-294 and just match the 293?
2. Why did you change the interface? Surely it would be a little less verbose to just use |1=page number instead of having to type |page= or |pages=.

Thanks for your immediate attention to this template, Kiril kovachev (talk・contribs) 20:51, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

The answer to the first question is "yes". It also gets 293a ('a' means first column) or 293b ('b' means second column) to match 293.

The first parameter is usually the headword, and pages and volumes are given with page=, pages=, volume=. That is the de facto standard on Wiktionary. Also, in your system it is impossible to specify multiple pages. Vahag (talk) 21:01, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

@Vahagn Petrosyan Okay, thanks. I was not aware there was such a standard. Thank you for cleaning this up. Kiril kovachev (talk・contribs) 02:04, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Translated English name of the dictionary

May I suggest "Dictionary of Bulgarian Personal and Family Names"? It's a bit less literal, but also a bit more natural. Chernorizets (talk) 21:54, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

@Chernorizets Please go ahead and change it if you'd like. I also don't mind if we change the template name itself; I don't hate it how it is, but it's a little on the long side and kind of unmemorable... maybe you've got a better idea? Kiril kovachev (talk・contribs) 02:06, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kiril kovachev changed the translation. As for the template's name itself, I'm fine with the current name; if I were to change it to anything, it would be {{R:bg:Imena}}. Chernorizets (talk) 02:20, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

@Chernorizets Alright, looks good. I'm happy with either of those template names personally as well. ^^^ Thanks for the update, Kiril kovachev (talk・contribs) 12:09, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

@Chernorizets On second thought, I just realized the acronym as it is doesn't really make much sense! Why did I not notice that the „у“ gets a letter in the acronym, but „имена“, which is clearly the more important part, doesn't? Just letting you know, I think I'm going to move it, since your idea is a nicer name anyway. Unless you have any objections. Kiril kovachev (talk・contribs) 00:09, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

@Kiril kovachev no objections, this sounds nicer. I'll miss Lee Fubb :-) Chernorizets (talk) 00:31, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

@Chernorizets So will I admittedly :') already gotten nostalgic over that quaint little acronym. It was cute while it lasted... farewell Lee... Kiril kovachev (talk・contribs) 00:34, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
