Deletion debate
[edit]
The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
Not a valid script code -- Liliana • 21:08, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
- We don't have a way to extend script codes like we do with language codes. There is no need either, because script codes are only internal to Wiktionary, they don't appear in the HTML. So keep for now. —CodeCat 00:03, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
- There should be, though. We'll get into big trouble if ISO decides to assign the Ibrn code to a script other than Iberian. -- Liliana • 04:21, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
- None of the Iberian scripts has even been encoded in Unicode yet, so what exactly are we expecting to tag with this template? If we have entries for any Paleohispanic language, they'll have to be in Latin transliteration and tagged
{{Latn}}, as we already do for Tocharian, for example. If these scripts ever get encoded, ISO will probably assign them a code then, and we can worry about it then. Delete. —Angr 07:00, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

- Delete. Even if we want a script template for Iberian script, we shouldn't make it look like an ISO code just for the sake of looking like an ISO code. (See w:Cargo cult programming.) —RuakhTALK 12:45, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
- Bleh whatever I guess I agree, delete it then. I had genuinely thought that these script codes were made up on Wiktionary, just like some family codes and such. I never realised ISO had anything to do with script codes lol...o.O 50 Xylophone Players talk 01:32, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
- Well, it does say at Category:Script code templates and Wiktionary:Scripts. —CodeCat 11:34, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

- Delete for practical reasons. Unicode can't handle this script, and all the uses of
{{Ibrn}}seem to be written in the Latin script anyway. If Unicode could handle it, it would need some sort of code. But that's a hypothetical point... delete. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:29, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

- Comment Michael Everson has primary responsibility for the w:ISO 15924 script registry. He sees all the proposals for Unicode, as Ireland's representative to ISO for ISO 10646, and he co-wrote some 450 of them. I believe the registry has, among others, all the scripts he anticipates will be encoded in Unicode, and he will add new scripts that come up in serious Unicode proposals.
