Width issues
[edit]@This, that and the other: I think the new title format isn't ideal in cases like December#Proper_noun_2 or nihil#Pronoun_3 where the title is longer than the cells beneath it, and now gets forced to wrap. It looks OK on mobile view, but weird on desktop where there's room to have the title on just one line. Is the extra bounding box around the title & cells necessary? It looks a bit more cluttered to me than the old style that didn't have it. For la-adecl, the width seems off now for nemo and quisquam for some reason. Urszag (talk) 16:27, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Urszag I thought I would give this a try, as the title really belongs to the table itself. Yes, it does lead to poor results on a handful of entries with complex declensional dispositions and hence long titles. Clearly December is one of these; it could be improved slightly by making the hyphen in "i-stem" a non-breaking hyphen, but that doesn't really address the underlying issue. As I said, only a small handful of entries are affected, but there is another problem. I fixed the width issue on quisquam, but now we have the same problem where the text is too bunched up.
- I just made this particular change as an experiment and don't feel strongly about it. If the title is not present, the additional box will disappear too. There was nothing particularly wrong with the way it was before, so I will see about reverting it. I should have time for this later today.

- Actually I reverted the "fix" to the width issue at quisquam. This needs more thought. As noted, I will see about reverting the title/notes changes to Latin entries when I have a moment. This, that and the other (talk) 22:31, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
