I disagree. Cw, for "contionary word", is simply more compressed. I would even suggest a Template:C. And being easy on the eyes is surely not a problem when processing wiki markup.

The main reason for using wiki markup is for enhanced legibility and ease of use, thus instead of using <pre><a href="linguifex.com/?title=Contionary:word>word</a></pre> we usually write <pre>[[Contionary:word|word]]</pre> | |||
Continuing from that, the prefix "cw" isn't instantly recognisable compared to "term" which is but 2 characters longer but adds an instantly transparent meaning. | |||
Cf. <pre> | |||
===Etymology === | |||
{{term|cóm-}} + {{term|seneir}} | |||
</pre> | |||
with | |||
<pre> | |||
===Etymology === | |||
{{cw|cóm-}} + {{cw|seneir}} | |||
</pre> | |||
Of course I see the benefit of having a short short version for when linking in mainspace articles/talk pages as in <nowiki>{{cw|dón}}</nowiki> where editing of the wikicode might not be a very relevant factor. | |||
As a compromise of sorts I propose keeping <pre>{{template|term}}</pre> in the Contionary article main space and <pre>{{template|cw}}</pre> used outside. | |||
