A few Finnish conjugations labeled declensions in en-wikt
I'm referring this to you because I haven't done anything in Wiktionary for about 4 years and I'm not sure whether this needs fixing on the level of individual pages or elsewhere.
Examining some 800-900 of the verbs I consider to be of most pedagogical relevance, I came across 6 (not all in one kotus group) where the Conjugation section of the page is labeled Declension instead, which has some bearing on automated parsing.
Those are kaivata, karata, piristää, pitkästyttää, virnistää, and vääristää.
None of the category pages or verb pages I looked at have discussion pages. At some point in the past, I must have participated on some central discussion page for Finnish entries, but I can't recall or find where that would be. Where would I look to see all discussion about Finnish pages in en.wiktionary?
If we label them all "Inflection" then we won't have this problem anymore. I've already been using "Inflection" for a while now.
Ah, now I see additional variability. I was referring to the section heading from the source line with equal signs, but I think you may be referring to the generated first line of the inflection table. Only now I notice that some of those tables ( e.g. olla) say "Conjugation" and others (e.g. sanoa) say "Inflection", which I had taken to be universal.
FWIW, I was liking Conjugation as the section name and Inflection as the start of the table. It's hard to shake establishment terminology (conujugation/declension) for the big picture, but "inflection" in the nuts-and-bolts table does make sense, plus it's a great marker in the text. Conversationally, I mostly stick to "inflection" because I'm mostly referring to the detailed process.
No I was talking about the actual section heading. For some languages such as Latin, we've been using this heading for a long time. So I've decided to use it exclusively now, for all languages.
I was actually thinking of removing "inflection of" from the table header. After all, it doesn't really add anything useful if the heading is already labelled inflection/conjugation/declension. It would also leave more room for the inflection type.
