Setting "nodot=1" suppresses the dot that would otherwise appear at the end of the text the template generates. - -sche (discuss) 04:07, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
Period
[edit]The period needs to be removed: Currently this template creates a period at the end of the definition. It should also be removed for the following reasons:
- aesthetic reasons
- Since the template creates sentence fragment definitions, periods should not be used at the end of the phrase.
- The template creates sentence fragments. Thus, it is grammatically incorrect to use a period.

Default settings for capitalization and period
[edit]There can be either:
- -capitalization -period, or
- +capitalization +period
Right now there iz +capitalization -period, which looks ugly. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 14:51, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
- This should really be discussed for all form-of entries, as they share the same code. But it also depends on whether we want capitalised definitions with a period anyway, which is still up in the air. —CodeCat 15:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
The |from= parameter uses Module:labels/data/topical and not Module:labels/data/subvarieties
[edit]* {{alt form|ko|foobar|from=Gyeongsang|from2=psychology}}
* {{lb|ko|Gyeongsang|psychology}}
↓
- Gyeongsang and psychology form of foobar
- (Gyeongsang, psychology)
This seems backwards to me. Surely it is more likely that a lect is placed in |form=
, and not a topical label? —Suzukaze-c (talk) 00:32, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

- @Suzukaze-c: Hmm, looks like this template is using all the label data, but it's not applying the full formatting logic (for instance adding a Wikipedia link) that
{{lb}}
does inexport.show_labels
in Module:labels; compareexport.show_from
in Module:labels/templates, which this template uses. — Eru·tuon 03:36, 24 November 2020 (UTC)- @Suzukaze-c, Erutuon Fixed. Benwing2 (talk) 03:41, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
This should work with q1, q2, q3 etc. like the synonym template
[edit]For consistency, e.g. {{alt|en|zabti|jupti|q2=obsolete|zapti|q3=obsolete}}. Equinox ◑ 21:17, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
