Some collocations on WT before Collocations existed

[edit]

Over the years editors have added collocations in various places. These searches bring up a few, but many others are "hidden" in {{ux}}. * Collocating with We could probably get a list of all entries using {{usex}} without punctuation, like #: {{ux|en|breathe '''deeply''''', ''drink '''deeply'''}} at deeply, and convert them to {{co}}. Also, there are few Usage notes sections containing stuff like "adjective commonly used with these nouns..." but I can't find them... Notusbutthem (talk) 23:25, 16 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Many collocations in one template

[edit]

What is the policy on those? E.g. at farm:

{{co|en|antenna '''farm'''; fuel '''farm'''; solar '''farm'''; wind '''farm'''}}
antenna farm; fuel farm; solar farm; wind farm

Should this be rewritten as the following?

{{coi|en|antenna '''farm'''}}; {{coi|en|fuel '''farm'''}}; {{coi|en|solar '''farm'''}}; {{coi|en|wind '''farm'''}}

antenna farm; fuel farm; solar farm; wind farm Gradilion (talk) 22:38, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
