Template:zh-diacritical mark

Mandarin has pinyin tones and Min Nan has POJ tones but Chinese characters have no diacritics. —suzukaze (t・c) 08:36, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

It could be used for pinyin tones I suppose. Not that I advocate it in particular. Renard Migrant (talk) 15:00, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

I created this template. I don't speak Chinese; that was just a general effort to standardize and clean up accents in all languages. For that reason, I am willing to cater to actual editors of Chinese and what they think is best.

First of all, IMO deleting this template is a secondary question. The most important question is: Can we have entries for pinyin and POJ tones regardless? Could we keep the Mandarin section, with {{cmn-diacritical mark}} and the entry ¯#Mandarin (compare ¯#Japanese in the same page)? I just ask that we keep information like this, about tidbits of romanization and writing, in their logical places. If we can do that, I'm fine with deleting {{zh-diacritical mark}} as proposed. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 15:43, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

I understand that the unified Chinese vote only applies to Han script terms, so keeping {{cmn-diacritical mark}} is fine with me. —suzukaze (t・c) 02:27, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
