RFD discussion: December 2020–September 2023
Created after this discussion to abandon the functionalities of ko-etym-native and move to ko instead, which I can't really agree with. First attestations are given in the standard Korean dictionaries, and there are a number of benefits to Wiktionary doing so as well:

Also, it includes entries that do have Middle Korean entries now, e.g. .--Karaeng Matoaya (talk) 15:30, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * It's more detail we won't be providing, which I think is a bad thing.
 * There are important differences between fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Middle Korean, and this is obscured by using ko only. I would also add that specifying the source immediately allows a knowledgeable reader to understand the nature of the word, e.g. a Middle Korean word first attested in Childae manbeop is highly likely to be southeastern dialectal, and a word first attested in personal letters is likely to be a colloquial form. This is all valuable information lost.
 * inh will not work at all for Early Modern Korean because ko causes a module error (a language cannot inherit from a variant of itself).
 * defdate (suggested in the discussion) won't normally work without a specific academic source because many Middle Korean and Early Modern Korean ancestors of contemporary Korean words had different meanings (cf. ), but these are not provided in the standard generalist sources which largely ignore semantic shifts.
 * In practice, all editors working in Korean have continued to put in first attestations, so this hasn't really been working out anyways and the category doesn't really do anything.
 * Module:ko-etym would need to be edited to remove autogeneration of this category, of course.--Karaeng Matoaya (talk) 15:34, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I am fine with deleting this and fixing the module accordingly. Are there any other people working on Middle Korean? If so maybe we can get them to weigh in, and delete the category. Benwing2 (talk) 21:41, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. And while I normally wouldn't close it in the same breath, this has been left for over two years, so I'll mark it as RFD-deleted as one of the other few Koreanic editors. @Benwing2 AG202 (talk) 00:21, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
