Two senses, one sense in each entry, and each entry is an alt form of the other. Would be nicer to have one entry with the content and the other with only alt forms. Equinox 00:27, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

This is a recurring issue; compare blacksnake and black snake which I brought up at WT:TR § when words are interchangeable but senses are usually spelled one way or the other. If the rope sense is usually spelled scare line and the phrase sense is usually scare-line, I could see why someone would set the entries up the way they are, but I agree it'd be easier to get an overview of all the senses if they were in one place, probably whichever spelling is more common overall regardless of sense. Meh. (Compare also breakfast's religious sense.) - -sche (discuss) 20:39, 29 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
I favor the current approach, but I could be convinced about an alternative if I could see a mock-up. DCDuring (talk) 16:15, 28 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
