User talk:Mabinogishan

Please stop trying to graft things onto an English dictionary entry that don't belong there. Yes, Mabinogion came from Welsh and was originally a representation of what was believed to be the Welsh name- but it was and is English. If you want to cover its existence as a Welsh term, you will need to create a Welsh entry. If the Welsh term is spelled the same, it will go on the same page, under a Welsh header (though the Mabinogion itself in is in Middle Welsh, which we treat as a separate language- "Welsh" is reserved for modern Welsh), as explained in the Entry layout page. Just make sure that it fits the pattern of the other Welsh entries, as explained at the About Welsh page. We have millions of entries in hundreds of languages, so we're very careful to keep everything in a consistent format. That way readers don't have to learn different page formats for different entries, and different entries don't conflict with each other. The way you had it, a serous mess would result if someone added the basic features of a Welsh entry such as pronunciation, inflection and mutations. Also, this is a dictionary, so telling stories and explaining things at length don't belong here, either. Thanks! Chuck Entz (talk) 22:49, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
