User talk:Benwing2/test-de-adj-noun-form-of

@Fytcha Is this what you were looking for? You specify the gender(s) in |1=, and optionally specify the indent level in |level= (defaulting to 3), or if you want separate etymology sections, specify the number of the first etymology section in |etymno=. It will normally infer the correct lemma and ending; |pagename= is only needed for testing. I gave it the name {{de-adj noun form of}}, let me know if you think another name is better.

@Benwing2: This is not quite what I had imagined but it is possibly even better because it comes with all bells and whistles and saves the other boring bits. Regarding the name: Maybe {{de-adj noun form of}} should rather be the name of the counterpart of {{de-adj form of}} (i.e. the one that goes on a definition line)? In that case, I'd name this one {{de-adj noun forms of}} with an extra s. What do you think about |etym= or |ety= as a non-replacing alternative for |etymno=? — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 22:00, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

@Fytcha I see, I guess what you were thinking of is {{de-adj noun form of}} which doesn't add the headers. I can add that variant as well as {{de-adj noun forms of}}; this is easy enough. |etym= sounds good to me, but what do you mean by "non-replacing alternative"?

@Benwing2: You don't have to create {{de-adj noun form of}} at present (I don't see its use given that we have the more comprehensive template), but if we do need it in the future for whatever reason, then we haven't broken the naming scheme; that was my point, hope this makes sense :) By "non-replacing alternative", I just meant to make it so that either |etym= or |etymno= can be used; had I said "etym as an alternative" it could have come across as though I was proposing getting rid of |etymno=. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 22:19, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

@Fytcha Yes, makes sense, thanks. Benwing2 (talk) 22:22, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
