@DTLHS: It's likely these won't turn up anything, but just in case, could you please search for uses of any of these three characters in Yiddish: װ ױ ײ and any use of these two characters in Bactrian: Þ þ. Thank you! —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 16:38, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Metaknowledge Done. DTLHS (talk) 17:12, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- @DTLHS Thank you again! —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 18:16, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
@Metaknowledge Picked up some more Hebrew entries, please review. DTLHS (talk) 16:59, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks; I've deleted them (Enoshd had already found them, though). —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 19:07, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
@Metaknowledge Updated again. DTLHS (talk) 04:15, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
- @DTLHS: Thanks. Yiddish seems to be picking up only false positives of words with ײַ in them; can those be excluded? Also, given that there's no consensus, I suppose for now we should consider ë allowed for Latin. @SemperBlotto, your bot created a bunch of inflected forms with breves in the Latin section. Would you mind deleting those and fixing the lemma pages? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 10:52, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
- This is a bit different, but it would be good to make sure that we don't have any Tibetan entries that end in ་ or །. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:59, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- @DTLHS: It's been brought to my attention that there may be more Turkish entries with ș in them; could you please check for those? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 20:27, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Metaknowledge Updated, only found one deleted entry. DTLHS (talk) 20:59, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
- By the way, you could add a standardchars field for these languages, then any unwanted characters would show up as categories in the wanted categories list. DTLHS (talk) 21:04, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll attend to the Old English ones you turned up. I'll have to figure out how to add and monitor the standardchars fields. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 21:35, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

- @DTLHS: Another one to search for that I just caught an example of: Azeri entries with the character ي. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 20:31, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
