message: It should be noted that just because italic Cyrillic text appears as an oblique font in your browser-font combination, doesn't mean that it does for others.  For example, readers using a serif font would probably see the correct cursive versions of some letters:
: а б в г ґ д е є ж з и і ї й к л м н о п р с т у ф х ц ч ш щ ю я ь ’
: а б в г ґ д е є ж з и і ї й к л м н о п р с т у ф х ц ч ш щ ю я ь ’
On the other hand, I think italicizing is pretty common, and most beginners learn the shapes of hand-written letters.  I don't see this as an important reason not to italicize, but there are other much more important reasons (see my vote, above). 
Common usage for these templates for Cyrillic-alphabet languages is:
 
 
Which yields:

Adding italics to the template would display:

In the last example, my browser (Safari) shows the stress accents as empty boxes after the letters, and doesn't italicize the letters little yus and yat.  —Michael Z. 2006-03-15 18:02 Z
:I'm using Safari 3 and ь, ъ are both italicised. I was going to point out, as has already been done, that those using serif fonts or custom stylesheets will see cursive Cyrillic rather than the standard. Bellito, master of all things Mac-related 00:56, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My browser (Firefox 3.0.6 on Mac OS X 10.4.11) shows the stress marks as empty both with and without italics, but as bold capital letters Т when the text is bolded, so the Taras Shevchenko example comes out as "Ukrainian: ТараТс ШевчеТнко, Taras Shevchenko". Without the template there is no problem. A different (and in my eyes less readable) font is used with the template than without, which is because the text is rendered bracketed by .... 88.233.196.53 (talk) 21:26, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

message: In the See also paragraph, the third bullet point "List of ISO 639-1 codes (language codes)" should be changed to List of ISO 639 language codes. Reason: This is the current lemma of the list of ISO language codes and this wikipage should be directly linked. Background: ISO 639 has been recently reviewed and all parts are now merged into one document. There are no parts 639-1, 639-2, etc. anymore. --Gunnar (talk) 13:22, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

message: On pages with the "Use British English" template, in a result like "Russian: Алексей, romanized: Aleksey", "romanized" looks out of place, because "romanised" is the more commonly seen spelling in British English.
