@Benwing2: I've created this as well as CAT:French verbs with placeholder y; as you're an advanced French learner, it might interest you. Creating it made me realise that there's an issue with the lemmatisation of many entries on fr.wikt (for example, fr:s'en taper should be fr:se taper de, since en is not a part of the idiom, but just a standard referential pronoun). --Per utramque cavernam 23:07, 8 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Name of these two categories[edit]

When I created these, I opened a discussion on fr.wiktionary where I suggested that similar categories be created there. Someone (User:Patatruc) told me that placeholder probably wasn't the right term (indeed you can't replace en or y by anything else, they've become part of the expressions), but even though I agreed with them, I didn't care too much at the time and did nothing.

However, I've grown increasingly dissatisfied with the current naming, and would like to use their suggestion instead: "Category:French verbs with lexicalized en".

Since it would be a tad tedious to do that by hand, could I ask @Benwing2 or @-sche to do an AWB run to replace "Category:French verbs with placeholder en" with "Category:French verbs with lexicalized en" and "Category:French verbs with placeholder en" with "Category:French verbs with lexicalized y"?
