It might be better to use Template:etymtree instead. It's intended for a similar purpose, but more sophisticated. —CodeCat 22:04, 14 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, I will take a look at it. I realised that I had named it fi-desc, while it should rather be named ura-desc or something similar. I wasn't able to move the page, and I happened to create a reduplicate with the name ura-desc instead. Could you delete fi-desc? I'm sorry about the inconvenience, I'm quite new to all this. - Clyde (talk) 22:08, 14 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

It's ok, everyone starts off new. :) I've deleted {{fi-desc}}, but I also moved {{ura-desc}} to {{urj-desc}} as the code for Uralic is "urj", it fits better. I fixed the entries that use the old name. —CodeCat 22:13, 14 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Wonderful, thank you! And yes, you are right, I realise now that "urj" is the proper code to use. I will take a closer look at Template:etymtree soon, it appears to be really useful. See you around! - Clyde (talk) 22:21, 14 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Your original template might still be useful as a personal list, something that you can use to fill in the tree that {{etymtree}} uses. Wiktionary users often keep useful things on their user page, and I see that you've already done that. So you could use your {{urj-desc}} template for something like that, once you've started using {{etymtree}}. If you were to move it to a name like User:Clyde/urj empty tree, then whenever you need to create the descendant tree for a new word (to add to {{etymtree}}), you already have a ready-made empty tree to start from. —CodeCat 22:29, 14 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
