[hy] conflating inflection tables of different spelling and dialects without any metadata #1615

Description

@jhdeov

For Armenian, a typical Wiktionary entry contains minimum 2-3 tables. Sometimes it can go up to 6-10 when we include multiple dialectal forms or different spelling convention systems. See the verb սիրել. It contains 6 tables -- 3 for Eastern Armenian, 3 for Western. Within each 3, we see the positive verbal conjugation, negative verbal conjugation, and nominal declension. The table's metadata tells you what they're for.

In terms of wiktionary code, the page has {{hy-conj-ել|mp=on}} which generates the 2 verbal conjugations for Eastern. The code for hy-conj-ել calls hy-decl-noun-unc to generate the noun declension

But on Kaikki, the 6 tables are turned into this:

  1. 2 tables (declension) are presented in "Inflection templates" with very readable metadata. But then these 2 tables are somehow replicated in the Forms section without metadata. And somehow the template "hy-decl-noun-unc" is listed on kaikki even though it is not directly written on the wiktionary
  2. The 4 verbal conjugation tables are presented with no metadata in "Forms". You can use ctrl-F to see how "no-table-tags" marks the start of every new table in Forms ubt with no info on what the table is for.
