Template talk:Lang-sr-Latn

Italics

Italicization of the argument should be removed to make this template consistent with the rest of Balto-Slavic multilingual support templates don't. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 19:28, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

 Not done I just checked - several templates in that category do use italics. And wouldn't this violate MOS:FOREIGN? Tra (Talk) 01:01, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

I could fix them too. This template makes use of {{Language with name}}, so MOS:FOREIGN compatibility should be addressed there.

I created this template for the specific purpose of being able to italicize Serbian Latin foreign phrases :) Because Cyrillic ones can't be, for reasons explained at Template talk:Lang-sr - see MOS:Ety. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 15:33, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

And I'm pretty sure that mixed slant as in:

Belgrade (Serbian Cyrillic: Београд, Serbian: Beograd)

violates WP:MOS more. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 08:15, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Your example seems to be contrived - I've never actually seen that happen in practice. And even if it did, MOS:Ety still applies. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 15:33, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Making the other templates italic is one option, and so is editing {{Language with name}}. But as it stands, the MOS does require foreign words to be in italic so unless there's a discussion somewhere saying otherwise, I can't just go ahead and remove it here.

Another option could be to add " Latin" into the text/link created by this template. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 15:39, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Personally I have no problem with absent "Latin" part: "Latin" is de-facto dominant in Serbian anyway. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 19:24, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

I found out that this way of dealing with italics is a recommended one, so the issue is now resolved. I'll change the other templates in category instead. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 19:24, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
