Berjocht oerlis:en-noun
Nij mêdPut iwiki links on/between the Talk page(s); that is what someone following the links wants to see. Putting them in the templates only causes transclusion overhead (and no, the noinclude tags don't help with that). If iwikis were allowed on templates, in most cases they would be 90% of the transcluded text. This should apply to all wikts (and all projects). Under no circumstances in the template itself.

View as table or inline
[bewurkje]As described at WT:CUSTOM#Inflections (through inflection templates), each person can choose to see this template as a table or inline by configuring his or her stylesheet.
Consistent with the majority of entries, the default display style is inline. To show the table format, add the following to your stylesheet (e.g. to Special:Mypage/monobook.css):
.infl-inline {display:none}
.infl-table {display:inline}
Note: After changing your style sheet, you may need to refresh your browser cache (Mozilla/Firefox/Safari: hold down Shift while clicking Reload, or press Ctrl-Shift-R (Cmd-Shift-R on Apple Mac); IE: hold Ctrl while clicking Refresh, or press Ctrl-F5; Konqueror: click the Reload button or press F5; Opera users may need to completely clear their cache in Tools→Preferences). A goal on WT:GP is to simplify monobook customization. Until then, use the above code to see inflections in tables.
