Morphology category boilerplate templates: xxxcat > xxx cat

• {{circumfixcat}} > {{circumfix cat}}
• {{infixcat}} > {{infix cat}}
• {{interfixcat}} > {{interfix cat}}
• {{prefixcat}} > {{prefix cat}}
• {{infixcat}} > {{infix cat}}
• {{suffixcat}} > {{suffix cat}}

This matches the existing pairs of templates, where the category template adds "cat" with a space to the etymology template:

• {{borrowed}}, {{borrowed cat}}
• {{inherited}}, {{inherited cat}}
• {{derived}}, {{derived cat}} (this was only renamed today)
• {{ar-root}}, {{ar-root cat}}
• {{calque}}, {{calque cat}}
• {{HE root}}, {{HE root cat}}
• {{PIE root}}, {{PIE root cat}}
• {{no entry}}, {{no entry cat}}
• {{semantic loan}} > {{semantic loan cat}}

• Support: consistency is good, and the space makes the template name easier to read. — Eru·tuon 19:27, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

The templates have now been moved, and Module:auto cat has been updated to use the new templates. Someone should come by here in a few weeks to orphan any remaining uses and delete the redirects. —Rua (mew) 11:57, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
