Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Would the affix template you suggested work for this word?/reply (6)

I will do as you suggest. I want to redo all my etymologies with the new template. A few more questions:


 * 1) I notice that some of my suffixes do not have an entry for the suffix form.  I'd like to add an entry for each suffix to explain its general meaning, and so when people click on the suffix in the etymology, it goes to a page with information, instead of a deadbeat page like this: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-naun. Same issue for -tope: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Wauja_words_suffixed_with_-tope. How do I add a non-lemma entry for a suffix or other affix?
 * 2) Also, on this category page https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Wauja_suffixes it says: Wauja suffixes are "Affixes located at the end of Wauja words".  Problem is, they often are not at the end of words. I was tempted to change that to "Affixes located after the stem of Wauja words"  If I remove {poscatboiler|wau|suffixes} and replace it with my proposed text, will that break some linkages that generate lists and groupings?
 * 3) Finally, I have a fairly large group of verbs that use circumfixes, which modify a stem by simultaneously prefixing with a- and suffixing with –ta (or –tsa). It's comparable to enlighten or embolden in English. See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/embolden#Etymology. Does it make sense to treat such a form as a single entity, and hope to produce a category page listing "Wauja words circumfixed with a- + -ta/-tsa"? Or should I just have "Wauja words prefixed with a-" listed on one page, and "Wauja words suffixed -ta/-tsa" on another page, and have a note explaining that actually the prefix and suffix must be used together for this form?
 * 4) What would you say are the advantages of the {ux} template over the {usex}? I could not find information on the parameters for {ux}, though I like the way it worked for the yamukunauntope entry.

If I am asking too many questions, let me know, and I will ask in one of the forums. (I don't want to wear out my welcome.) Thanks for your advice.
