Usefulness of this template
This template contains an interesting idea that, instead of entering all the declensions for the Czech entries upon invocation of the template only the pattern (grammar) would be given in the name of the template; all the rest would be done by the template automatically.

As it stands, the template would need to be extended with further paramaters to allow for exceptions. For instance:

at the page pán misses that "pane!" is a valid form whereas "páne!" is either invalid or rare.

Also, in general, many of the declensions are irregular, like "dům" with its declensions "domy", "dome" and the like. These issues could be handled by further parameters of the template.

I have only low personal interest in declension-related issues. I am just trying to make sure that (a) the Czech declensions look decent and are inconspicuous, and (b) that people don't waste their time on laboriously entering declensions, and do something useful instead. --Daniel Polansky 10:41, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
