Wiktionary talk:About Old Polish

Regional Old Polish

@Benwing2 I wanted to get your input on the technical aspect of an idea I have. I want to somehow mark the locations of attestation of Old Polish words somewhere (I intend to add the place of creation to the quotation templates), as Old Polish was a collection of dialects. I'm not sure marking it in a label is the best idea, as that would imply the word was only used in a given location, which we just cannot be sure of. I was considering doing it in the etymology section, something like "attested in Greater Polish, Lesser Polish, Masovian, Silesian". What do you think? Vininn126 (talk) 09:30, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

@Vininn126 This sounds like a Beer Parlour discussion question. I personally think labels are probably fine and have the advantage that they auto-categorize. We can just add a proviso of sorts to labels stating that in the case of extinct languages, the labels reflect attestation rather than certainty as to where terms were used. (Even in living languages, this may be the case as well, esp. in lesser-documented languages.) Benwing2 (talk) 19:12, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

In that case, I've started a BP discussion, perhaps your right. That could be a solution, I suppose. Will need more input. Vininn126 (talk) 19:18, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
