Module talk:Emoji

I feel like we can make this better

Hi everyone:

I have worked on Lua modules before, and after stumbling upon this one, I feel we can make it better and easier for Wikipedians to get emoji codes in user and talk pages. I am calling for users who have worked on this module before, specifically @RexxS, @Qzekrom and @Izno, but really anyone who wants to help. To anyone who wants to help, please reply and we can begin working on a plan!

Additionally, I started another module, Module:WEmoji, and may be able to use this module for WEmoji.

More technical details: We could make it require less typing, e.g. by adding it to a template (See Template:Wikipedia ads for an example), so you wouldn't have to type in as much text. For example, {{Emoji Smiley}}. Or, to use mappings, {{Emoji 1f603}}.
I will wait 2 months, and if I do not receive a reply, I will begin working on this by myself.

Where do these names come from?

If you look at U+1F507 🔇 SPEAKER WITH CANCELLATION STROKE (linked here:🔇), you will see it is called Muted Speaker. That name comes from Unicode's CLDR short name. However,

{{#invoke:emoji|emoname|1f507}} → mute

So where are do these names from? Please document. Dpleibovitz (talk) 04:20, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
