Anagrams[edit]

The first line in Anagrams does not appear to be correct:

fop, , FOP

Thanks. Fixed. You could have fixed it yourself.​—msh210 (talk) 19:38, 17 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
I do not understand the template in use, and I do not understand why the first item is using a template and the second item is a link. Why are the two items different in nature?. A real fix could have been much more complex than just removing a comma. Where can that template be found? Is there some documentation for it? --Mortense 21:12, 17 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
You're absolutely right. (That is, your implied point that it was wiser of you to mention it here than to fix it yourself is sensible.) The reason there are both a template and plain links is that the first is an alphagram, which, we (Wiktionary) were thinking, would be displayed differently from the other anagrams. In fact, it's not being displayed differently, so the template's not needed in the page at this time and {{alphagram|[[fop#English|fop]]}} can be replaced by [[fop#English|fop]] or even [[fop]]. The template, since you asked, is at [[template:alphagram]]; documentation for it has been at [[template talk:alphagram]], but I'm about to move it to [[template:alphagram/doc]] where it belongs.​—msh210 (talk) 16:51, 18 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
