Hi Mahāgaja. Thanks for deleting those five BP talk pages I tagged. 0DF (talk) 04:20, 1 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

-aí

I get that pos=adjective is to categorise it correctly. But I also want the link to lead to the correct suffix via etymid. Does id=adjective interfere with pos=adjective? —Caoimhin ceallach (talk) 16:43, 1 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Caoimhin ceallach: Having both |id=adjective and |pos=adjective puts the entries in the redundantly named CAT:Irish adjectives suffixed with -aí (adjective). The only reason I prefer using |pos=adjective is that CAT:Irish adjectives suffixed with -aí already exists and has 20 entries in it. If we want to use |id= to link to the right suffix, that's fine, but then all 20 adjectives need to use it. And then they shouldn't use |pos=adjective, because the category should be named CAT:Irish terms suffixed with -aí (adjective). Once all the terms are switched over, we can delete (or rename) the existing category. —Mahāgaja · talk 16:49, 1 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I see. I'm just looking at how it's done here Category:English_terms_suffixed_with_-er. Are the Irish categories currently set up consistently using the pos-parameter? —Caoimhin ceallach (talk) 16:59, 1 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
No, I think the only other one that uses it is -ach, which is divided by part of speech into CAT:Irish nouns suffixed with -ach and CAT:Irish adjectives suffixed with -ach. The difference there is that the noun-forming -ach and the adjective-forming -ach are etymologically the same suffix, so I didn't make separate {{etymid}}s for them. —Mahāgaja · talk 17:05, 1 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
