Hoi, On the Dutch wiktionary it has been proposed to change the template for adjective -adj- to -adjc-. The reason for this change is that adj is an ISO 639 code for a language. I am happy to change this template and the places where it is used on your wiktionary..
Please let me know if you have any problems with this..
This is just a suggestion. I think using prefixes similar to Hungarian notation would be a perfect idea for wiki template naming policies. If all languages were prefixed with lang_ or even l_ then you could have say pos_adj for "adjective" and l_adj for "new exotic language". You can also think of the prefix as a kind of namespace. Or perhaps use : instead of _ to make it seems ever more namespace- like.
The downside is longer template names, the upsides are that it's easier to see what unfamiliar templates are for and easier to prevent name clashes.
