Table links make no sense

The Summary table of this article contains links to wiktionary. As far as I have searched, none of those wiktionary pages exist. It makes no sense to have those links instead of links to different language wikipedias. — Snoteleks (talk) 15:59, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Esthetic problem: ." as a future aligned single character

We should create a unique closing quotation mark at the end of phrases. An aligned ." as a single character when used at the end of the phrase[s].

This is a glyph/font esthetic problem according to many graphic artists, font creators and others who noticed this problem. 2A02:587:4F0C:9300:ADDF:7B50:FFD5:C561 (talk) 09:32, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, it is not a font or glyph problem. It is no different in concept to the ⟨fi⟩ ligature: see Ligature (writing)#Stylistic ligatures and OpenType#Description. You just need to persuade the vendors of computer fonts to provide it but you may not use Wikipedia to do so. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 18:38, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Quotation mark and the Apostrophe

It appears to me that the "Quotation mark" page and the "Apostrophe" page are inconsistent and disagree. Qzvoswx (talk) 18:35, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You need to be more specific. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 18:18, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
