 * It is supposed to appear as an empty square box. Is that how it appears? Fraggle 09:12, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

 * To be honest, I don't particularly like the scheme we have going with these weird Unicode characters. This is part of the reason that I split them into separate templates.  How about we change them to normal characters?  Eg. Y = "designed for" (y = yes), F = "functional", N = "nonfunctional"? Fraggle 15:10, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Deletion
The discussions above and here appear to have been resolved in favor of single roman letters (rather than more esoteric Unicode characters), which are much simpler to type than "". I think we have as many kinds of articles about maps as we are ever going to have, but these three templates have only been used in List of WADs, so there doesn't seem to be much point keeping them around against future generalization.
