Re conj/decl: Yeah, I keep getting told that, but nobody wants to run a bot to do it. Sadly enough, it'd be easier for me to create the forms semi-manually as needed than learn Python. So ACCEL still seems like the best option.

Re noun plurals: מענטשן is a good example of the ideal format.

The script doesn't have anything for the original entry's transliteration, and {{plural of}} doesn't actually even support the tr= parameter. Would it be a problem if I left that bit out?

If I understand you correctly that (in this example) מענטשן gets transliterated but מענטש does not, then I'm fine with it.

Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds05:23, 19 November 2012

Okay, done for noun plurals.

We have apparently had a misunderstanding... here is the difference between what it does and what it should do.

You need to clear your cache, that's the old version.

Did so, then switched devices and forgot to do it again. Sorry about that. Anyway, it's perfect.

Example for the adjectives, if you're up for it: בעסערע. Thanks so much.

By the way, many Yiddish plurals are formed regularly by adding -n or -s to the end. I wanted to add n and s as possible values for the argument pl= (to get the same effect as if I typed pl=ס{{subst:PAGENAME}}|pltr={{subst:PAGENAME}}s for pl=s). I'm not sure how to deal with the spans in {{yi-noun}} for that, however. Can you do it or explain it? Thanks.

The spans are just HTML, they don't interact with the wikitext or anything. The span's class's transliteration- bit needs to get the right transliteration for the script, but it doesn't really work any differently than getting things to output regular text. Replacing {{{pl}}} with {{#switch:{{{pl}}}|s={{PAGENAME}}ס|n={{PAGENAME}}|{{{pl}}}ן}} (pardon the rtl mess), {{{pltr}}} with {{#switch:{{{pl}}}|s={{{tr}}}s|n={{{tr}}}n|{{{pltr}}}}}, and so on will work fine.

Excellent. Thank you (although the exact code you provided above doesn't actually work... but I temporarily overcame my ineptitude).

For some reason, this edit to {{yi-adj-1}} didn't accelerate the topmost link in the leftmost column of the inflection table on a page like זאַפֿטיק. Am I doing something wrong? If so, could you tell me my mistake? If not, what more needs to be done to get this to work?

"inflected-form" isn't a valid form value. The only valid ones are plural, diminutive, genitive, diminutive-plural, genitive-and-plural, plural-definite, plural-indefinite, singular-definite, vocative, singular-vocative, plural-vocative, third-person-singular, present-participle, simple-past, past-participle, simple-past-and-participle, present, past, infinitive, imperative, positive, comparative, superlative, and exaggerated (pretty sure that's all).

Yair rand (talk)04:14, 12 December 2012

How unfortunate. Can you add inflected-form as an option? (If you don't, I'll try, but we all know that there's a fair chance you'll have to revert me if I do it.)
