Linea 6:
I saw your hidden text at [[Gladbacum Monachorum]]. A very good idea to give a clue about a not-yet-existing article, but may I suggest a better way to do this? Hidden text is best kept to a minimum -- and, after all, the next editor could legitimately delete it. But the template <nowiki>{{Creanda|nl|Mederiacum}}</nowiki> producing {{Creanda|nl|Mederiacum}} helps the reader even more, because one can click straight through to the existing article, which might help to start the relevant article here. An example if you want to link to an article with a different name, and to use an oblique case in our text: <nowiki>{{Creanda|nl|Melick|Mederiacum|Mederiaco}}</nowiki> producing {{Creanda|nl|Melick|Mederiacum|Mederiaco}}.

:Thanks, that's a very valuable tip. However, in this particular case, there remains a doubt: The reason I didn't simply write "vulgo Melick" was that the Wikidata item for Melick (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1019508) is different from the one for Mederiacum (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2520616). My first reflex would also be to equate Melick and Mederiacum, and the second Wikidata item could become something like "Archeological site of Melick". But I kind of wanted to leave that open...

::Yes, you have the choice. Assuming you don't intend to create both articles yourself, probably it's slightly better to link to the Wikidata for Melick, which connects to more languages.
