Talk:K-DK

Spelling
Should the KDK page be a superseded spelling instead of a redirect? There might be inflected/derived forms in older literature. Is this a new rule introduced in 2015? I can't remember seeing it in the list of changes. I did see your comment about the Magyar helyesírási szótár. Panda10 (talk) 18:04, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The image "Compass Rose With Abbreviations" still contains the old spelling. Panda10 (talk) 18:18, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

I have a 1999 edition of Magyar helyesírási szótár (Akadémiai Kiadó), and it also has D-DK on page 97 and É-ÉK on page 140, so even if it was differently before, the change didn't take place in 2015. I also have the 10th edition of A magyar helyesírás szabályai (published in 1973, before the preceding change of 1984) but unfortunately it doesn't mention any of these combined forms. However, if you're positive that it was written without a hyphen some time ago (as a consequence, before 1984 if ever), especially if you find some source, then why not, you can mark them as superseded spellings.

I've just updated the image but somehow I can't see the most recent version. Maybe it's a matter of cache. (?)

As far as sources are concerned, if you register to Szabó Ervin Metropolitan Library (which you can do online, see the description), you'll be able to access various databases, including ADT, Szaktárs, and many more, which provide lots of useful materials (here you can find the necessary configuration. You might as well register for a year, I think it's worthwhile. Adam78 (talk) 18:27, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

I uploaded it to imgur.com – please update the file in Commons, it's kind of ignoring me. Adam78 (talk) 18:33, 14 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you for all the information. I probably copied the spelling from the Hungarian Wikipedia's "Égtáj" in November, 2008. It's been a long time ago. The image was uploaded correctly. If you look at the "File usage on other wikis" section in Commons, it lists the entries with the new spelling. Let's wait a day or two. I clicked Save without changes in one of the entries, hoping for a refresh, but no result. Panda10 (talk) 19:09, 14 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Clearing your browser's cache will display the new image. Panda10 (talk) 18:04, 15 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Yesterday I purged the cache of the page with ?action=purge but it didn't work. Deleting my browser's cache did. Adam78 (talk) 20:20, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
