Removing words that take the accusative[edit]

@Panda10: I think this categorization (with the accusative endings) is not necessary for verbs, as we have "transitive verbs". I suggest that we make an exception in {{hu-case}} for the argument being "t" for the accusative (omitting its other variants). In this case, this categorization would be suppressed. Non-verb words that still require categorization for the accusative argument, such as those in Category:Hungarian words taking -t/-at/-et/-ot/-öt, could be added individually (including Category:Hungarian postpositions taking -t/-at/-et/-ot/-öt). (I know that another option would be to exclude this suffix altogether as an argument but I would rather keep it as I find it helpful.) I suggest the following change:

<span title="hucase">''{{hu-case-ending|{{{1}}}}}''</span><includeonly>{{#if:{{{nocat|}}}||{{#ifeq:{{{1|}}}|t||{{cln|hu|{{#if:{{{pos|}}}|{{{pos}}}s|verbs}} taking {{hu-case-ending2|{{{1}}}}}}}}}}}</includeonly><noinclude>{{documentation}}</noinclude>

based on Help:Conditional expressions#Using #ifeq. What do you think? Adam78 (talk) 10:25, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Adam78 It sounds good. Go ahead with the change. Questions: If we won't categorize verbs then should the code still contain it? Are you planning to clean up the category for verbs (removing hu-case from each entry)? Panda10 (talk) 18:00, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Panda10 I think if we want to keep the displayed form consistent, we should use the same template (with some parameter and/or condition embedded), rather than forking into two, one template adding a category and the other not adding any, having to keep them in synch all the time. So hu-case should be kept for the accusative too, to ensure a consistent look, and minimizing the difference in its function. Maybe we could look into the individual cases (there are not so many, around two dozen) to find out the best way of implementation. Adam78 (talk) 21:08, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Adam78 That's fine. Go ahead with your original plan. Panda10 (talk) 21:14, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
