This currently redirect to {{eye dialect of}}, but it's used in context labels. Recreating it as a context label would allow for categorization. Downside is people may use it think it's still a redirect to {{eye dialect of}}. So, essentially I'm proposing a split. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:40, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
- Why should there ever be an instance where the use of the context label was appropriate? It seems to me that its use implies an etymology distinct from those of other senses. DCDuring TALK 15:34, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
- It's not a context. Eye dialect is a representation of a word, like an
{{alternative spelling of}}or a{{misspelling of}}. There's no call for this to be used as a context tag. I think we should fix all entries that use it as such to use it as a form-of template instead.—msh210℠ (talk) 16:03, 30 November 2010 (UTC)- Refused, striking.
