This template is used to list cognomens in Latin entries, automatically adding the entry to Category:Latin cognomina. Its first three fields can be used to display examples of Roman gentes that used the cognomen, linking each to their Wikipedia entries.
Further examples will produce the end text , and others.
The template can also automatically provide a single example name to show the use. This should be a name where the cognomen is the last part of the name.
To use an example of a medial cognomen instead, use the {{ux}} template as normal as normal. To avoid needing to add an English "translation" of the name, use a non-breaking space in the last field. — LlywelynII 07:36, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
Weird question about "Mitre"
[edit]Do you by chance remember the source of this piece of information about this specific debased coin?
I got "nerd-sniped" and tried to find more information about it, but I can't seem to find any references that aren't just quoting exactly this line from Wiktionary. Omni5cience (talk) 21:38, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- @OmniScience No, not off the top of my head. It seems your nerdsniping was justified though, if you really weren't able to use the list of synonyms in that edit to find more information. Inter alia, it's in the OED and the Wiki article on History of the English penny (1154–1485). Can you link to the "sniping" or explain what the other person was specifically taking issue with? It might've just been an American who wanted you to spell it miter in English. — LlywelynII 20:01, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
