Definitions without Labels[edit]

@Justinrleung In entries like these, how do we indicate which definitions are used for dialects in Hokkien and which are not? And specifically which dialects. Mar vin kaiser (talk) 03:23, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Mar vin kaiser: I’m not too sure, but we’d have to check our sources to see. Sometimes leaving things vague would be best if we’re not sure. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 04:19, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Justinrleung: At the very least, I think we should have a way of saying that Definition X is definitely used in Hokkien dialect X. Or Hokkien in general. While it's also used in Standard Mandarin (or not). Right? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 04:21, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Mar vin kaiser: Yes, you could just label it as {{lb|zh|Mandarin|X|_|Hokkien|...}} I guess. In these cases, I would probably want to check dictionaries of the other varieties. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 04:25, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
