These are somewhat broken categories that only contain the language appendix (except for Na'vi, which also contains a template category). --Yair rand 06:45, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've added Category:Toki Pona language to your list. It contains a subcategory User art-top, in addition to the appendix. --Daniel. 18:25, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep They're broken simply because you caught me in the middle of editing (from Template:art-nav to Template:conl:art-nav). --Daniel. 06:59, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Daniel. 07:38, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all of these, they have interwikis and make the appendices easier to find. More content may be added later (more appendices, templates, etc.) but I don't like the idea of these appendices being categoryless. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:25, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All kept. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:49, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apostrophe type[edit]

Which type of apostrophe should we use to indicate the glottal stop?

  • Almost all Wikimedia pages and projects, including Wiktionary, use the modifier letter apostrophe (U+02BC)
  • Paul Frommer's blog uses the right single quotation mark (U+2019)
  • The ASCII apostrophe (U+0027) might be supported by more computer systems. Also, it would sort correctly (at the beginning of the alphabet)

I am in favor of the current system. --Numberguy6 (talk) 18:55, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One shouldn't use the quotation mark, as it's a punctuation mark rather than a letter, and this affects e.g. how words are split into segments by headword templates (although this may be less of an issue for an appendix-only language), and affects "highlighting" terms (like if you double-click on them to select them), and probably screenreaders. If you want to use the modifier letter apostrophe, it probably is the best symbol, although obviously the English entry Na'vi uses the ASCII apostrophe because English entries in general use the ASCII apostrophe, for various reasons. - -sche (discuss) 22:42, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think the modifier letter apostrophe is a good choice because Unicode categorizes it as a letter, and the Na'vi apostrophe is a letter since it represents a sound. — Eru·tuon 22:58, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
