Wikipedia articles about hyphenation that are not called hyphenation
[edit]Dear Infovarius, this issue was discussed at MediaWiki talk:Gadget-Merge.js#Merge syllabification (Q1898328) with hyphenation (Q11994045). I am well aware that the place where you divide words at the end of the lines is not always exactly between syllables, and therefore syllabification and hyphenation are two different things. However, in many languages there is a word like German Silbentrennung or English syllabification which has syllables in its name but is frequently used to refer to the act of dividing words at the end of lines. I therefore read all the Wikipedia articles formerly linked with syllabification to see whether the texts inform about hyphenation or syllable boundaries. w:nn:Stavingsinndeling, w:pt:Separação silábica and w:tl:Pagpapantig actually do inform about syllable boundaries, so I left them there. The articles that I transferred to hyphenation really treat only hyphenation – just read them. Wikidata is about items, not about words. Therefore we have to link to those articles that actually describe the items. For this we have to read more than just the headword.
The actual syllabification in the sense of the question where the boundaries between the syllables are is often treated in sections of the articles on the syllable, e.g. in w:en:Syllable#Syllabification or w:ru:Слог#Слогораздел в русском языке. As soon as someone turns these sections into articles of their own, we can link them to syllabification. And of course, everybody feel free to rename the Wikipedia articles on hyphenation so that it is easier to see that they do not really talk about syllables. --Buncic (talk) 15:26, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
