Adding a table of Mediawiki plural formatting rules

Yup, its much better than Plural/Comparison of plural rules in various databases.

Am glad you like the table. To be fair, the purpose of the comparison table (tool in discussion on convergence between various plural rules) is very different to the purpose of the new table (general reference tool of Mediawiki plural rules).

Just few thoughts and suggestions:

  • PLURAL rules for languages should imho be mentioned on their respective portal pages. I do not know current coverage. At least on Portal:ksh, I've included the MediaWiki versions of PLURAL, GENDER, and GRAMMAR.
  • It would likely be wise, to have a common per language source for entries in various lists, such as Plural and possibly other, and portal pages, with can be included everywhere.
  • The namespace "Portal:" is imho bewildering for newcomers, except ones coming from Omegawiki. "Language:" would likely be more intuitive.

"Language portal" perhaps?

"Language portal" sounds good to me.

It is already "Language portal" except in the url. Isn't that enough?

I have no opinion either way; perhaps a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"?
