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

They all show up as question marks for me. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0. Bloodshedder 13:42, 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)

I utterly agree - please do. -- Jdowland 18:51, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Deletion

The content associated with this talk page was considered for deletion, and either was deleted, or was kept after a period of discussion. This page has been retained for historical reference regarding the deletion process, or in case of future restoration of any deleted content.

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 "{{wad-nonfunctional}}".  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.
