Template talk:km-l

RFD discussion: February–August 2023
This was a little-used linking template for Khmer, which I have now completely replaced with l (with no change in what’s displayed). The only functionality it has over l is that phonetic spellings can be given with the argument, though this was unused. Something similar also exists for Thai with th-l, but that template appears to be in much wider use, so I won’t propose it just yet.

It would be very straightforward to incorporate the functionality of  into the main links module (and perhaps only enabling it for those languages which need it). This would also allow it to be used in all the etymology templates etc. Plus, there might be other languages which would benefit from having it as well.

 * Obsoleting the template and then bringing it here is a strange approach. It would make more sense to either bring the template here, wait for discussion to ensue, then if agreement is reached, proceed to replace the template in entries that use it, or just speedy delete the template yourself if you consider the impact of replacement to be negligible (as it seems to be in this case).

 * I obsoleted it because its extra parameter wasn’t being used at all, and it was only used on about 20 pages anyway. However, I brought it here in case there was a desire to actually start using it more widely, which would probably need to be carried out by a bot. That would be the wrong approach though, IMO.

 * Delete as redundant and unused. &mdash; excarnateSojourner (talk &middot; contrib) 06:42, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
