Template talk:Zero width joiner

I updated the code from to Several points:
 * 1)   is deprecated; according to the current copy of Space (punctuation) it was deprecated as of Unicode 3.2
 * 2) Unicode seems to favor  as an alternative
 * 3) However, practical considerations gave me other thoughts:
 * 4) * Most people can't seem to be able to keep track of the difference between "it's" and "its". They'll probably go with whatever Wiki nerds say.
 * 5) * “Word joiner” didn't look too good on the comparison on this chart, and seemed to be the opposite of what ZWNBSP was.
 * 6) * “Word joiner” has no obvious counterpart; exists already. Setting up "Zero-width joiner" is more logical.

(As a template editor/gnome) I had been considering this page for deletion because of its lack of use. However I see potential here, and think we just haven't ‘linked up’ the template namespace yet (which I've taken upon myself to do). And if people can remember &zwj; offhand, that's fine; we'll simply delete this template. But for now I think it has potential, so this can be thought of as a one-person "Templates for deletion discussion"; Result: Keep.

My next plan of action is to move this page to "Template:Zwj" and to update the documentation. The state of the web is pretty messed up. I think simplicity is in order.

Anyway, that's my two cents. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 02:45, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
