Template talk:table:colors/sla-pro

It's broken. There are stray semicolon, default text at some place and not at others. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 11:31, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

@Per utramque cavernam: The template {{table:colors}} (which this one is built on) has been broken for a long time, as a side-effect of different editors constantly changing it to reflect their preferred organization. In any case, it is a very poor fit for the color systems of pre-modern languages, as it tries to shoehorn them all into a single set alien to their native semantic distinctions. For Proto-Slavic I think any solution that could accurately represent the color system would have to reject the common template and use a custom one instead (as I also had to do for Egyptian). Having a common template for colors cross-linguistically was a bad idea in general. — Vorziblix (talk · contribs) 21:27, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

@Vorziblix: Ah yes, I see. Yes, I think you're right that colors don't lend themselves well to that kind of systematisation.

Incidentally, you've convinced me to vote delete here. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 22:06, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
