Hebrew script in Judeo-Spanish (Ladino) Wikipedia

  1. Thank you, Amir. I'll do that.
  2. I don't know that we're even asking yet; this was just a feasibility question.
    I'm personally not sure if it's such a good idea. Unquestionably, it only works if the server can offer the font, not if it depends on browser-side fonts. Also, as much as Rashi script is traditional for JS, there are a lot of people who can read the Hebrew alphabet who can't read Rashi script. Conversely, everyone who can read Rashi script can also read more conventional (square) Hebrew lettering. So I'm not sure that the "tradition" of Rashi script in JS outweighs the greater accessibility that more conventional Hebrew lettering brings the project.
    I found the font at the Open Siddur Project.
  3. I wasn't talking about the box above the editing box, I was talking about the section below the editing box.
  4. Thank you.
  5. Thank you. I'll get back to you with that.

We'll go with 'ladwiki' => array( '0' => false, '1' => 'User %code%-1', '2' => 'User %code%-2', '3' => 'User %code%-3', '4' => 'User %code%-4', '5' => 'User %code%-5', 'N' => 'User %code%-N', ),

...because the categories are currently named "User ...", and we do have some level-5 categories. (Just curious: the local Babel box templates categorize an individual both to User %code% and User %code%-n, except in the case of level 0. Does the parser function work that way?)

Hi StevenJ81,

This was just deployed to the Ladino Wikipedia, and you can test it. I see that it works on https://lad.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usador:Amire80 .

It works on my talk page, too. תודה רבה! (One question, though: is there a switch to suppress categorization? I ask only because I've got Babel on both my User page and my User talk page, and I don't need it to categorize me twice.) By the way, I also edited MediaWiki:Edittools, too. You can see alefbet glyphs there, including glyphs with rafe-bars. Also by the way: Why isn't Ladino listed at Special:SupportedLanguages? Finally: I have a note in at the Support page re lad-hebr.

Thanks for your help, and שנה טובה.

Hmmm, not that I know. Nikerabbit, SPQRobin?

> Why isn't Ladino listed at Special:SupportedLanguages?

Not sure, this is also a question for Support.

Seems actually not to matter. Only "User:StevenJ81" appears on the category pages, not "User talk:StevenJ81". Only difference between two seems to be that local templates also categorize me directly into Category:User en (without level) as well as within level. But in that case, as it happens, using the #babel function actually suppresses the possibility of including the category User en (without level); I can't even add it manually.

Hi, Amir. שנה טובה! Is there any way to nudge someone to answer the question I left on the support page? (After all, mostly what I have are questions now, not a lot of need for work.) Thanks very much.
