Template-protected edit request on 6 March 2019

Please update this module with the contents of Module:Unicode data/scripts/sandbox. It contains the Unicode 12.0.0 version of this data module, including newly assigned code points and new script codes. — Eru·tuon 22:07, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This module is used in 272,000 pages. I expect that your edits are correct, but can you please create some testcases that show the changes? Also pinging Trappist the monk, who works quite a bit with Unicode and {{lang}}, for another set of eyeballs. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:58, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have no reason to believe that the sandbox is flawed so done. I think that I would prefer that the script that makes this data module did not rely on external tools ... Perhaps a rewrite as Module:Unicode data/scripts/make?

Also, if this is v12 then the documentation needs updating?

Thanks, Trappist. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:03, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Updated the documentation. The data was generated in the same way as the previous version, but from the Unicode 12.0.0 versions of Scripts.txt and PropertyValueAliases.txt from the archive at https://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/UCD.zip. I'll consider rewriting the script so that it can be run here on-wiki. The script that I used to generate wikt:User:Erutuon/scripts/UnicodeScriptRecognition.js would be easier to adapt than the one here because the part that processes Scripts.txt is simpler. — Eru·tuon 10:23, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, created Module:Unicode data/scripts/make. It generates the top table of this module, the part that actually depends on the Unicode database. — Eru·tuon 22:18, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This module needs to be updated for Unicode 13.0.0 by replacing the data table with the new one generated by Module:Unicode data/scripts/make. — Eru·tuon 19:38, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done Let me know if anything is not working correctly. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:37, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 8 June 2022

Please change:

Nkoo = "Nko",

into

Nkoo = "NKo",

(capital "K").

Formal script name is spelled "N'Ko", Unicode Alias is "NKo" (see ISO 15924); . Unicode defines these script names as indifferent wrt case (A=a), so we're free to adjust this.

Maybe the bot applying Module:Unicode data/scripts/make should incorporate this for future updates. DePiep (talk) 18:58, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unicode formal definitions, rules & backgrounds are in TR24. 'Script names' are referred to as 'Script Designators' because 'name' is overloaded with meanings. Ping creator @Erutuon:. -DePiep (talk) 05:30, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is updated on the /scripts page, so

done; however, the /make subpage is still in question. Note that editor Erutuon's Unicode subpage has the correct "NKo" designator. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^put'r there 09:58, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. For now: looks like after every Unicode version update (annually for main versions 14-15-16-..), this NKo requires manual fixing. List User:Erutuon/Unicode is not the best source (nor best blocklist): it mixes blocknames and enwiki pages, some are a Redirect or a DAB. More info in Template:Unicode blocks/overview. -DePiep (talk) 10:45, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Don't think it matters much, because the /make subpage seems like just a test page. Only two transclusions and still seems to rely on User:Erutuon/Unicode/PropertyValueAliases.txt, because when I changed it on that page beginning with this edit, its /doc page transclusion threw a line #31 error (No code for "Nko") until I changed it back. No biggee surmised. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^put'r there 13:10, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
