Change suggestions

@Drmccreedy: About {{ISO 15924 code}} I propose (see diff):

1. Remove "lc-first" enforcing: input should be formatted OK by itself. That is: "Xxxx". (Who knows what we accept when input is formatted wrong?)

Should be OK, but needs a check for mainspace effectrs (through/in {{here}}).

The way I read the uc/lc part is that it allows "latn", "LATN", or "lAtN" as input with the same result as "Latn". This seems friendly to editors who may not know the Xxxx convention. Not sure I'd remove that. Everything else seems fine. DRMcCreedy (talk) 21:45, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2. Add code range option "Qaaa-Qabx", to be recognised. Same for numerical range 900-949.

3. minor: same #switch-options are on single line (no effect, more overview of code).

That range of ISO-codes could show better, for example in {{here}}. This addition does not alter existing options (including distinct Qaaa, Qabx), so these are safe and won't change effect. After this change we can change other templates to show "Qaaa-Qabx" data all right: as a single data entry.

Tests are {{here}}. BTW, both "-" and NDASH are recognised. What do you think? -DePiep (talk) 18:34, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK. -DePiep (talk) 22:26, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 2 February 2021

It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected template at Template:ISO 15924 code.
(edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · test cases · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.

Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox and test them thoroughly here before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

Request: Please replace all {{ISO 15924 code}} with /sandbox code (diff).

Changes are:

(1) Put all same-#switch-hit in one line (minor change, zero effect)

(2) Add input options Qaaa-Qabx; 900-949, having "-" hyphen or "–" ndash.

Talks and ratio: "Add option single-line Qaaa-Qabx". See § Change suggestions. Testcases: /testcases. Ping @Drmccreedy:. DePiep (talk) 22:54, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
