Macedonian Noun Templates: Updates

I think you misunderstood. I meant that the default plural stem would be the same as the singular. This would mean that if this is the case (which it usually is, I assume) then you can leave out the plural parameter altogether. It's a bit less typing that way.

If pages aren't appearing in the right categories, it sometimes helps to do a "null edit" on the page. This means that you edit the page, and save it without making any changes.

Oh, all right. If you can make the template work like that, i.e. with an optional plural stem, fine. I don't know how to code that. I agree it would be more feasible.

If I do this, I would need to make the plural stem the third parameter, rather than the second. Otherwise you'd have to "skip over" the plural each time to provide the vocative.

All right. I placed the plural as second in case it happens that I don't know the vocative, such that I can easily leave it blank. You can switch them. By the way, I fixed the template categories - thank you for the instructions.

You haven't mended the masculine noun template, based on what I can see. Should I start using it the way it is, with the three obligatory stems? I don't mind it the way it is, but if you plan on changing it later, I'd have to go and edit all the entries I've made using it, to rearrange the stems and all.

It's ok to use it as it is for now. If I end up changing it, I can use a bot to automatically fix all the entries.
