Wiktionary:Votes/pl-2008-08/Wiktionary:About sign languages

Voting on: Adoption of Wiktionary:About sign languages as policy (as of this version). This relaxes WT:CFI for these rarely written languages. It also establishes a system for transcribing signs for entry naming purposes.

Support H. (talk) 14:56, 15 September 2008 (UTC) For now, indeed. Changes will have to be made, but it’s a very good start. I’d rather see pictures in translation tables, though.[reply]

~~Abstain~~ How does this distinguish sign language from common hand gestures? Also wouldn't it be wise to include at least one citation of use? I don't know much about languages for the deaf, but I could give you an example of a cultural sign that's stated incorrectly in Lonely Planet, and likely any publication that borrows from that.
