Talk:alta-male
What does the Latin "alta" in the ety mean? It seems that English "alter" would be more fitting. Equinox ◑ 15:13, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Included as a hot word. Incidentally, was there ever a vote to allow hot words?__Gamren (talk) 19:58, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
- I don't think so, but the whole hot word thing doesn't really contradict CFI. Rather, it defers enforcement of the mandated deletion decision just long enough to see whether the term will meet the time-span requirement and make the deletion unnecessary.

I have cited the noun, but the adjective is probably pushing things....Kiwima (talk) 23:56, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
- How could such a wordy definition possibly be rigorously cited? The current verbose definition should be reduced to something in line with whatever the citations actually do unambiguously support. This is a good example of a recurring problem: most definitions to be verified need revision. DCDuring (talk) 15:11, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
RFV-passed, but still a hotword, which I suspect will not survive the test of time. Kiwima (talk) 18:50, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

See the previous RFV on the talk page: this was passed as a hot word on the strength of citations from 2016, but there was doubt that it would actually remain in use. The hot word tag was recently removed, reminding me to ask: has it continued to be used? It occurs in this ?magazine? from 2018, but I can't make heads of tails of what it means there. - -sche (discuss) 06:53, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
- The
{{hot word}}system doesn't really work unless the template is removed only by an RfV decision (based on achieving or failing to achieve attestation over more than a year). I guess I'll but a watch on both hotword categories. DCDuring (talk) 03:34, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
