In many of the Wiktionary entries for Estonian I find “(genitive [please provide], partitive [please provide]) and “This adjective, noun, numeral etc needs an inflection-table template”. These are obviously requests that people have made for the stated forms but for some strange reason nobody ever provides them. I have provided the requested forms but my contributions have been ignored. What is the point of requesting something and ignoring it when it is provided? Here are the forms for teine (second, other, another) and a few other Estonian nouns. Will someone please enter them in Wiktionary instead of ignoring them?

- Hello Johnling60. The reason your contributions have been (largely) ignored is that you have been adding them to discussion pages, whereas you should add them directly to the entry, like Strombones did here. You should only add declensions that you are sure of.__Gamren (talk) 08:32, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
- Hello, you might want to look at existing Estonian inflection templates, such as Category:Estonian_declension-table_templates, Category:Estonian verb inflection-table templates, try to understand them by look at existing entries using those templates. E.g. märg, which uses
{{et-decl-külm|märg|märj|a}}. The templates are undocumented, so I don't know what those parameters mean. Your information you have been posting in WT:BP is important but inappropriate on a discussion forum. This is volunteer project. Non-one seems to be doing Estonian at the moment, otherwise they would guide you to the right place. Why don't you do it yourself. You need to know how, though. You can ask specific technical questions at WT:GP. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 10:20, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
