:: Two thoughts: I'm not an expert on this, but the image map doesn't reside in the image, it is separate, so I believe other wikis could ignore the map or use it (or create a different one) as they chose. But don't quote me on that. Another thing that occurs to me, is that you don't need to create different images, just so the text in the legend (or in the image) can be rendered in French, Spanish, or whatever. If you create your image as SVG, then you only need to have that one image for all 300 Wikipedias; you can translate just the labels with a [[WP:SVGT|tool]] here, without touching the image itself, and then the right image label text will come up in the right language depending on which Wikipedia you are looking at. I've used the svg translate tool myself to create multiple versions of some svg's for different languages. Once you've created one of them, you can crank them out in multiple languages, pasting the labels into a webform each time. See for example, [[c:File:Chronologie constitutions françaises.svg]], which now has nine languages (click the dropdown to see).

== fr/fre/fra ==
I should've clarified that I added French codes to the list because I often see "fre" in ISO 639-3 contexts (from "French") used incorrectly instead of "fra" (from "Français"). For that reason, I think it's pertinent to keep it, but I wouldn't add other languages blindly. [[User:Iketsi|Iketsi]] ([[User talk:Iketsi|talk]]) 00:19, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
:OK. I won't oppose if you add it back. [[User:Drmccreedy|DRMcCreedy]] ([[User talk:Drmccreedy#top|talk]]) 00:24, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
== Asomtavruli capitals ==
Hi!
I noticed you revert my edit (on the Georgian block page) where I changed "Asomtavruli capitals, known as Mtavruli..." to "''Mkhedruli'' capitals, known as Mtavruli". I think you misread the context? Asomtavruli letters are sometimes considered capital letters (as you mentioned in your explanation) but this passage suggests that Mtavruli letters are capitals of the Asomtavruli letters themselves. As far as I know, they're two different (both nonstandard) ways of capitalizing Georgian text. That is, unless I'm misreading the sentence. I just wanted to check before I considered changing anything. Maybe the sentence could be written more clearly?

::Unfortunately I'm away from my home so I can't review my reference material but I think the issue is that Asomtavruli literally means "capital letters" so while it's true that both are used for emphasis, it's more accurate to refer to Asomtavruli, not Mkhedruli, as capitals. But you pointed out the real issue and that is that the script is unicameral so the sentence needs to be written more clearly. It's probably best to scratch that sentence entirely or to note how the two are both used for emphasis and how.

== Noto fonts and unichar ==
Just FYI, {{tl|unichar}} no longer requires a text description as the canonical text is now picked up from Wikidata. So <nowiki>{{unichar|0031}}, {{unichar|0031|digit 1}} and {{unichar|0031|digit one}} and even {{unichar|0031|DRMcCreedy}}</nowiki> should all give the same result: {{unichar|0031}}, {{unichar|0031|digit 1}} and {{unichar|0031|digit one}} (and even {{unichar|0031|DRMcCreedy}}). QED. [[User:JMF|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 09:40, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
:Thanks {{ping|JMF}} for clarifying this. I knew that it was programmatically populated if omitted but didn't realize it was ignored entirely. The name is specified for the unichar template in around 600 articles. Is there any benefit in eventually removing it or should it be left to be treated as a comment? I'm guessing other editors are also confused by this, especially if they just copy from existing unichar examples.

::Yes, we discussed that issue at [[template talk:unichar]] at the time the change was being made (as a result of some insidious vandalism and too many simple errors, plus the few cases of the Consortium correcting errors in their "we never touched nuffink, Guv, honest oh look a squirell" way {{smiley}}. The consensus was that only the canonical name should ever be shown.) It think the conclusion was that it would be a huge amount of gnomic work for no evident return. So I (at least) have taken opportunities as presented, to simplify the calls when I'm doing a substantive edit. Over time, it will fade away. I hope that if someone hammers away trying to get {{green|<big>1</big> {{midsize|digit 1}}}} but "the system" insists on returning {{green|<big>1</big> {{midsize|digit one}}}}, that they will go and read the template doc. Meanwhile, it does no harm as a sanity check and corrects editor typos for free. --[[User:JMF|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 20:00, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
== Oh my! ==
It's barely been a day since Unicode 16.0 released, and there's already a Myanmar Extended-C page! Wow! You are fast! [[User:Logan1spyker|Logan1spyker]] ([[User talk:Logan1spyker|talk]]) 03:57, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

== Your reversion of my edit to "ISO 3166-2:GB" ==
Greetings and felicitations. I noticed that you [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ISO_3166-2%3AGB&oldid=prev&diff=1253476563 reverted my edit] to [[ISO 3166-2:GB]]. I made that edit because it was nearly impossible to find the [[Outer Hebrides]]' code, and Welsh locations already have alternate names in square brackets. (I only found the code in the Outer Hebrides article, having missed it previously.) Is there any proper way to add the same information that I did? —[[User:DocWatson42|DocWatson42]] ([[User talk:DocWatson42|talk]]) 05:36, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
:The alternate names in square brackets in the GB article are actually part of the Standard. For example https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:GB lists GB-CAY as "Caerphilly [Caerffili GB-CAF]". That isn't the case for GB-ELS. A note about it being Outer Hebrides would be useful. Either add it to the text of the article or add a "[note 1]" after "Eilean Siar" with the text of the note after the table, similar to how [[ISO 3166-2:AM]] does (but instead of on a column, just after "Eilean Siar").
