Term "singular" necessary?
[edit]I think we no longer need the term "singular" in this template, since it has already been included in another template. Considering the template's name, it will also be misleading if the term "singular" is included. I would like to apply this template to Old Javanese words, such as ṅuni, which have no singular nor plural marker. @Donnanz Cahyo Ramadhani (talk) 11:27, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
I would have to revise thousands of Norwegian entries (nouns and adjective forms) if "singular" is removed from the template. That is why I reverted your edit. It can be discussed in the Grease Pit; templates shouldn't be changed without prior discussion.. DonnanZ (talk) 11:36, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Okay. Thank you. I have already posted this in there, too. Cahyo Ramadhani (talk) 11:44, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

@Rua, Erutuon, Sgconlaw Despite the name, this template displays "definite singular of". We already have {{definite singular of}}, which is an alias of {{singular definite of}} and displays "singular definite of". As there's no obvious difference between "definite singular of" and "singular definite of", we should merge the two and eliminate the misnamed template. It has 4566 uses so it should probably be deprecated rather than deleted. Benwing2 (talk) 06:04, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Benwing2 I have a bot renaming these now. —Rua (mew) 12:44, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
