The etc. came from 
人名_または人_を表す名詞に付いて
from daijr's ちゃん entry

I don't think it's a conjugation. たん doesn't indicate tense, mood, voice, etc.
Is the "etc." on sense 1 needed? I don't think it's clear what would follow after "names".

or should sense 2 be called a conjugation?

(comment)       Maybe not exactly (m-sl) but I can't say I've ever found it really used 
outside of manga/anime.
-----------
I'm happier now about dropping the m-sl.
Not sure it's two senses.
