Template talk:alternative form of

nodot

Setting "nodot=1" suppresses the dot that would otherwise appear at the end of the text the template generates. - -sche (discuss) 04:07, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Period
The period needs to be removed: Currently this template creates a period at the end of the definition. It should also be removed for the following reasons:

 * 1) aesthetic reasons
 * 2) Since the template creates sentence fragment definitions, periods should not be used at the end of the phrase.
 * 3) The template creates sentence fragments.  Thus, it is grammatically incorrect to use a period.

Default settings for capitalization and period
There can be either: Right now there iz +capitalization -period, which looks ugly. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 14:51, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * -capitalization -period, or
 * +capitalization +period
 * This should really be discussed for all form-of entries, as they share the same code. But it also depends on whether we want capitalised definitions with a period anyway, which is still up in the air. —CodeCat 15:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

This seems backwards to me. Surely it is more likely that a lect is placed in form, and not a topical label? —Suzukaze-c (talk) 00:32, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Hmm, looks like this template is using all the label data, but it's not applying the full formatting logic (for instance adding a Wikipedia link) that does in   in Module:labels; compare   in Module:labels/templates, which this template uses. — Eru·tuon 03:36, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
