Thread:User talk:Bequw/Alternative forms in proto-languages

Your bot marks terms that contain brackets as errors, assuming they will not be used as names of entries. However, there are many cases where they are not alternative forms but simply two possible and equally valid reconstructions of the same word. The Indo-European s-mobile is an example, where the form can be reconstructed with an 'optional' s-. And the initial j- of Proto-Slavic is another example. I don't think there really is a problem with leaving the links like that, I don't think they are really errors.
