Template talk:Latin script

message: This should be called the English alphabet. It is neither Latin in the restricted sense that it was used to write the Latin language, nor Latin in the general sense that it is the full Roman script used by many languages. --Ptcamn 02:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I was asked to change the naming of the header from OSI to ISO by a request at WP:REQT.  Since it linked to ISO anyway and other alphabet templates did too, this seemed reasonable.  If the correct title of the template is "OSI", then perhaps someone should explain to me what OSI is, and/or change the link in the header to some article on whatever OSI is.  If OSI is just a precursor or alternate name for the ISO, then I think the title should reflect the dominant modern usage, as an etymology of the name of the ISO/OSI Latin alphabet is probably too esoteric to be handled in a simple template header. —Dgiest c 02:49, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Um... it wasn't a request.  Someone asked at WP:REQT.  I made the change.  User:Hexagon1 reverted me saying "refer talk".  I saw no explanation here so I'm asking for some clarification. —Dgiest c 02:51, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The reason I reverted was that that was the name we painstakingly decided upon here, so I was weary of any change that would reignite this debate. I think it refers to the Open Systems Interconnection standards, but I see nothing wrong with ISO (or the specific standard name) if it links to it. +Hexagon1 (t) 04:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I still don't see a discussion thread where you reached consensus on "OSI".  Is it archived somewhere?  In older revisions of the talk page?  Also, OSI defines networking standards, not character sets, right? —Dgiest c 05:04, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I meant the name in all, not just the OSI part. OSI indeed defines networking standards, however deep in the bowels of OSI must be some alphabetic standard too... apparently... somewhere... I'm all for ISO here. +Hexagon1 (t) 07:25, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

message: In the diacritics parts ("C with diacritics" and "cedilla") , could we drop the underline to show the markings (more clear)? It would look like: Çç --> Çç. For the eye, we should hode them everywhere, even when the mark is not below. See also:  -DePiep (talk) 19:53, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I just restructured the whole template (including subtemplates). The produced content is the same. 
;What has changed:
* Only one table is used. All blocks are added as extra rows to that table. That table is build in  subtemplate /main.
* Separate determination of which letter and which diacritic is used (prevent double meaning of 2nd unnamed parameter). See subtemplates /determine diacritic and /determine letter.
* Also option to force showing of a diacritic manually (by entering "show diacritic = hook"). Also option to force no-show at all. See input options:
show letter=
show diacritic=
show pairs=
* Using same structure for each row (26 columns). See subtemplate /row26col.
* Separating several lists, so that editing is more easy. See all subtemplates.
* Two external templates are not used any more (nor here nor elsewhere).
As said, the resulting content is unchanged. Behaviour might slightly improve when zooming in the browser.
* A lot of repeated code has been removed into a single presence.
* Subtamplates are used. 
;Todo
* Updating the /doc basically done.
* Later on we can add and refine separate parts of this template. E.g. extra diacritics may be added, or individual letters. The structure is such that is is less tricky.

text: I'd say no, it doesn't belong here. Per the article, "The code point (U+0149) is currently deprecated, and the Unicode standard recommends that a sequence of an apostrophe followed by n be used instead." Unicode can't "delete" a code point but deprecating it is essentially the same. So I'd recommend NOT adding it here. DRMcCreedy (talk) 19:12, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

message: Guys, I'm sure this template is a technical masterpiece.  But it's not editor friendly.
I want to add G̃ (G with tilde) to the "G with diacritics" section of the G box (as displayed at the bottom of the article G), but when I click edit on the box, I just get a load of code.  I used to be a programmer, so sometimes code is fine, but I don't want to pick my way through your code just to uncover the path to edit the G box.
Maybe it's explained somewhere in the documentation, but guys, I shouldn't have to start reading some other page in order to make my simple edit.
The documentation should be in the code, or the edit button should take me directly to a page I can edit to make my change instead of dumping me in this overview page of code (this may involve having two or three separate edit buttons in the letters box, one for the code of the container, one for the "G with diacritics" section, etc).
I give up.  I'm not making the edit. Gronky (talk) 10:09, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

message: I noticed on the S-comma page that the entry under "letters using comma sign" automatically showed Șș in boldface, but that under "letter S with diacritics" did not, probably due to a previous page-move.  
I'm not sure how I would easily sandbox-test a complicated template like this, so I have boldly (recklessly?) edited Template:Latin alphabet/letter with all diacritics, changing ȘȘș to S-commaȘș.
It preview-tests okay in a couple of pages, so I'm reasonably confident that I haven't broken anything.  Please be gentle with me; this is my first ever template edit.

message: The template should show all the content in all articles. Instead, it is hiding things by default depending on the article. For example, it currently shows "Letters using caron sign" in Ľ and "Letters using bar or stroke sign" in Ł, but it should show both sections in both articles. The purpose of a nav template is to help find related articles. If the template ends up taking too much space, inner collapsible sections can be used, so that the user can hide/show them with the mouse, like it works for other nav templates. --62.98.108.232 (talk) 07:30, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

message: There are a substantial number of missing Latin script letters which already have Wikipedia pages about them, e.g. þ, ȝ, ð, æ, ŉ, ƿ, ỻ, œ, ſ, ñ. As letters such as w were not part of the historic alphabet used to write the Latin language, it is no more logical to include that letter than it is to exclude any of these. Therefore, those letters should all be added. 1.127.108.215 (talk) 16:07, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
