 * I find several hits on b.g.c, but all from the 19th century or earlier. I'd call it a dated spelling of or obsolete spelling of. I do find some modern instances on the Internet, though instances in durably archived media are hard to find, but maybe it's common enough for modern uses to be called a misspelling of. German Wiktionary seems to be interested only in what's standard or has been standard in the past and relies much more on lemmings than we do. —Mahāgaja · talk 18:32, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Clearly used formerly; not only several hits but many. Also, etc. Until the mid of the 19th century  was also very often. You write “für mich ist somit unklar, ob diese richtig und aktuell ist und zudem ob es eine Nebenform oder eine andere (alternative, veraltete) Schreibweise ist.” I answer you: It is now not richtig nor aktuell and it is an archaic spelling. Whether it was correct or already wrong then cannot be answered as there wasn’t a regulatory framework like today in the 19th century; probably people didn’t care, and it occurs too often to mark it as an error. As this word is of clearly widespread use, a then obvious spelling of a common word – you can go to about fifty pages, that is half of the 1000 that Google Books allows –, I have just converted the entry to “archaic spelling” I close this.

Too many people at de.wp are just too prescriptive and incompetent. b.g.c. for "allmählig adj." and "allmählig adv." finds several mentions in dictionaries, often in bilingual dictionaries but it's also in Campe's dictionary. --93.221.41.43 10:45, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
