Template:User tl-Tglg


Uhm.. an orphaned template. This employs the use of Baybayin script, which is unsupported by many operating systems as of now. Somebody may have to install Baybayin fonts in ther PC in order to understand the script. Furthermore, there is no way to crack what this script wanted to say since this is no longer in use.

 * Delete. In case anyone wonders, this is a userbox, which is why it is here instead of at TfD. Anyhow, it is unused and redundant to User tl. --RL0919 (talk) 13:52, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I've moved it to WP:MFD. Thanks for notifying, RL0919.-- JL 09  q? c|undefined 13:54, 22 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Neutral. Of course there's ways to "crack" what it says; any scholar of old Tagalog can read it at a glance, and any speaker of Tagalog could figure it with the help of Baybayin. It's not redundant to User tl; tl-Tglg is the ISO code for Tagalog written in Baybayin. It probably says something like "I can read Tagalog in Baybayin." Whether or not Baybayin is currently well-supported strikes me as completely irrelevant.--Prosfilaes (talk) 13:35, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * What if it says "Prosfilaes is a cocksucker?" Is there any third party WP editor who could tell us what it actually says?  Gigs (talk) 18:47, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, Baybayin is no longer in use in any variants of Tagalog language today, or any Philippine languages Baybayin used to be.-- JL 09  q? c|undefined 03:31, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete in case it wasn't clear. The benefit of keeping an orphaned userbox around is clearly outweighed by the risk of not knowing what it might actually say. Gigs (talk) 23:51, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
