Where to seach for a string filter?

[edit]

Hello!

I am searching for a template that can filter a given set of characters from another string. It should be of the kind {{filter|<text to be filtered>|<filter character(s)>}}. Where is the right place to ask? --Sae1962 (talk) 08:07, 11 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

How to edit an inflection table in a template

[edit]

There is no explanation of how you can edit an inflection table which is made with a template. They are not accessible in the normal way from the entry pages. 87.126.21.225 07:49, 18 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Documentation of a particular template should explain how to override inflections for an entry. —andrybak (talk) 08:12, 7 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

better motivation for the usage of templates

[edit]

hello, since the usage of templates pertains a certain difficulty for new users, I would expect that it's usage is motivated thoroughly with several examples. What motivation I find here however, is only given in the introductory main text in form of two examples, of which only one is explained a bit. The other one I do not understand, namely "This helps in reducing the duplication of identical content". How? greetings, --Utonsal (talk) 14:37, 26 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
