Template talk:Infobox proto-language

Listclass error

Not sure how to handle this. If 'listclass' is included in the template, even though empty, the child protolanguages will be bulleted. If it's not included, they won't be. An empty param shouldn't affect the display, but I don't know enough about template syntax to fix it. I would think we'd want bullets as the default, which it seems they are. — kwami (talk) 23:59, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Parameter for Descendent family field

'members' is a very confusing name for the "Descendent family" field. I suggest |descendent_family=. Kanguole 12:09, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

It seems the "Descendent" part of the displayed label is causing confusion[1]. How about a label of "Reconstructed family" or "Reconstruction of"? Kanguole 16:04, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

"Reconstruction of" sounds ok, and indeed is less confusing. –Austronesier (talk) 16:31, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

If a short parameter name is desirable, perhaps 'target' would work. Kanguole 09:10, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

'Target' seems okay. AWB didn't work for me last time I tried, but I'll switch them over if I can get it to work now, and we can remove 'members' from the code. — kwami (talk) 04:19, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Writing system?

Since this infobox is for reconstructed languages, I'm not sure that |script= make sense here. Kanguole 17:57, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
