What do you think should be done with the rest of the templates in Category:Finnish declension-table templates?

All those combined templates aren't really needed if we use to point the user to each of the individual words. And as I mentioned sometime before, when you try to combine these templates you run into the problem of what to do with alternative forms. Let's say the first word has genitive plural forms A and B, and the second word has genitive plural forms X and Y. Then in theory, you can combine them in 4 different ways: A X, A Y, B X and B Y. If one of them has three genitive plural forms, there are 6 combinations. You can probably see this isn't practical, especially when a user can be expected to know how to decline the words separately.

can probably go too, since we can put inflection tables on each individual lemma form: one with and another with.

We can keep the "-dot" templates for now, but there is probably a better way to handle them. Maybe a special "initialism" template that automatically figures out the declension based on the final letter?
