[RO] Many words are missing their inflection

[dragostis]

It doesn't seem to be caused by a missing template, but many words seem to be missing their inflection on Kobo. For example, looking up "pietre" does not find the correct root "piatră".

I haven't debugged this yet, but it definitely seems like some words are not missing their inflection, but most of them do.

I did not translate the page, but https://ro.wiktionary.org/wiki/pietre just does not exist. So, it is expected to not be found on the Kobo.

[BoboTiG]

The current process to add variants would be to create the https://ro.wiktionary.org/wiki/pietre page, and use a specific template to tell this is the inflexion of "piatră".

FTR we currently look at those variants:

Thanks for the reply!

I wonder if an alternative would be to use the declination tables (e.g. on the word's root page) just to generate cross-linking.

Actually that is a great idea! And going further, it is something doable for all locales.

That will require quite some work, at first sight. But I'm not against the idea, and might try something later on.
If someone wants to give a try, I will love to review some code too!

[dragostis]

In the case of Romanian specifically, it seems like only en.wiktionary.org has complete inflection tables compared to the ro.wiktionary.org source that has partial ones.

Since I'm not familiar with the code, would you be willing to please leave some high-level approach to add this? I might take a stab at it tomorrow.
