::::::::So, read it on Wikidata: [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q76557 avunculus/patruus], [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16872864 avunculus], [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12158205 patruus]. That's the way I think it should be (I kept it alphabetic to be as neutral as possible). Question is: Do we move our page as well?

:::::::::Sorry, I never saw this last response till now. As things are, the Wikidata label is accurate (because our current one-line article tries to cover both terms), but "patruus/avunculus" isn't a suitable heading for an article in a Latin encyclopedia. All languages map the world, and they all do it differently. An encyclopedia in any language describes the world in the terms of that language. (No objection, of course, to mentioning and contrasting what other languages do: their speakers are part of the world.) If, in Latin, a mother's brother and a father's brother are different concepts, our encyclopedia will have different articles about them. If the consensus of anthropologists says "the speakers of Latin are wrong! All uncles are demonstrably uncles!" we may ''also'' have to have an article "uncle", carefully sourced to anthropological textbooks that demonstrate the wrongness of Latin here and the scientific oneness of the uncle. But I doubt it. [[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew Dalby]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby|disputatio]]) 13:12, 12 Novembris 2019 (UTC)
::::::::::The thing is, our page "patruus" still links to the Wikidata item "uncle" while nothing here links to the Wikidata items "avunculus" and "patruus". There is a good practical reason for this, as far as I'm concerned, because otherwise someone reading, say, the German article "Onkel" and looking at the interwiki links, would get the impression that there is nothing corresponding here, which is not really accurate. We could have three pages for uncles of course, but for the time being the one with the title "patruus" really is about all kinds of uncles (same for aunts), and I wouldn't want to move it to a different Wikidata item.
