I'd like to add Category:Morphology templates. Where can I do that? --Barytonesis (talk) 14:18, 7 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Language code

@Palaestrator verborum: Hello. I'll take French abdo as an example. Currently, one is forced to write {{clipping|lang=fr|abdominal}}, for writing {{clipping|fr|abdominal}} doesn't work (it gives this: Clipping of abdominal). Would you know how to change that? --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 23:03, 12 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Per utramque cavernam: Apparently by setting the content of one as the default parameter of the other, as here in {{unknown}} {{{1|{{{lang|en}}}}}} – this sets the content of |1= as being |lang= if |1= is not given which uses |lang=en if |lang= is not given.

@Palaestrator verborum: I've copypasted the code of {{deverbal}}, I hope I didn't break anything in the process... --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 00:27, 13 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

The description

edit

The description says that additional etyma can be added as 2=, 3= and so on but it doesn’t work. For example over at ”compo” I wanted to write {{clipping|composition|competition|compensation|lang=en}} but the result was Clipping of competition (compensation). @Rua: Do you know how to fix it?Jonteemil (talk) 08:48, 18 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

According to the code of the template itself, parameters 2 and 3 work like they do in {{l}}, providing a display form and a gloss. I can't just change that because some existing entries may rely on that behaviour. —Rua (mew) 11:12, 18 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
