Module talk:sa-desc

What's wrong here? is empty no matter the args given. It should make a dynamic -style list of borrowed descendants... —Aryaman (मुझसे बात करो) 19:47, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I've fixed it; an example is above. What's the scope of the template? Only learned borrowings from Sanskrit or ...? Wyang (talk) 22:01, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's great! Yes, only learned borrowings, to clear up e.g. Proto-Indo-Iranian entries. I'll make it collapsible soon... —Aryaman (मुझसे बात करो) 22:41, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm very much against this template and do not think it should be used. desctree and see desc should be employed instead. --Victar (talk) 06:23, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

What is your opinion regarding ? See also Template talk:sa-desc. Kutchkutch (talk) 04:18, 20 April 2021 (UTC)


 * To be honest, I think this isn't a very useful/used template. The word "तत्सम" only means 'similar' in Sanskrit (forget ); you see, tat + sama. This new sense 'संस्कृत-तत्सम' is coined in Hindi and made to look Sanskrit-like. Hence, I feel, it's better to use the term "learned borrowing/learned loan" for such words. It's currently used only on 5 (main namespace) pages. Here, I didn't choose sa-desc (a little before making, I was aware of this template). 🔥 शब्दशोधक 🔥 06:17, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Although it could make the learned borrowings more easily identifiable like Template:CJKV, it's more decorative than functional and hides the list by default. The template doesn't handle alternative forms, indentation, sclb or South Dravidian (as indicated at, , , ). If you're concerned about the wording, then the text text could be changed to text.

 * Kutchkutch, what's the problem with this, that we need to use this template? Victar also opposes using this. In a case of lots of borrowed descendants, rel-top3 is better IMO. See also:  🔥 शब्दशोधक 🔥 08:40, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * @शांतनु: That's fine. There are Sanskrit entries that use desc-top for the entire descendants sections including inherited terms. Kutchkutch (talk) 08:56, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
