Template talk:nl-interj
Latest comment: 3 years ago by Metaknowledge in topic RFD discussion: July–November 2020
This template has no parameters.
The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
User:Rua deleted it because "it did nothing special". There doesn't appear to have ever been a discussion about that.
Please restore it. It is confusing and inconsistent that xx-interj exists for 90+ languages but not for Dutch. Alexis Jazz (talk) 16:20, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
- What functionality do you propose that would make it do more than just
{{head|nl|interjection}}? And do we want to keep all the other 90+ templates that do nothing else? —Rua (mew) 16:38, 10 July 2020 (UTC)- @Rua If you want that, restore
{{nl-interj}}and nominate all the xx-interj templates for deletion. I won't support that btw, but the most important thing is to be consistent. At any rate, xx-interj is easier to remember. Alexis Jazz (talk) 18:04, 10 July 2020 (UTC)- There may be some language-specific interjection templates that do something special that the Dutch one didn't. And
{{head|nl|interjection}}is not hard to remember by any stretch of the imagination. —Mahāgaja · talk 20:24, 10 July 2020 (UTC)- @Mahagaja The English one does nothing special. The Chinese one does nothing special. The Esperanto one does nothing special. The German and Spanish ones only seem to do things like {{es-interj|head=¡hey!}} on hey, which could be applied to any language with punctuation. But even without arguments for memory or easier typing, it is practical to aim for consistency. I can't remember every single template we use and template use changing depending on the language is even worse. I just look at an existing English entry and try to adept that for a Dutch entry. So if English entries use
{{en-interj}}and interjections exist in Dutch (which they do), I expect{{nl-interj}}to work. Now I potentially could get behind an effort to transition these to{{interj|en}},{{interj|nl}}and so on. But unless and until that happens, undelete{{nl-interj}}. Alexis Jazz (talk) 22:28, 10 July 2020 (UTC)- That's far more of an argument to delete the ones that do nothing special than to restore the Dutch one. But orphaning widely used templates takes time. —Mahāgaja · talk 05:57, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
