Old Church Slavonic

How to go about adding support for Old Church Slavonic and Church Slavonic for this template?

Unicode 5.1 recently added quite a few characters to properly support these, and there are only a few fonts available with partial support so far. More info at wikt:Appendix:Old Cyrillic alphabet and wikt:Appendix talk:Old Cyrillic alphabet.

These languages both (unfortunately) share language codes cu/chu/chu, and are supposed to be used with the script code Cyrs (see Early Cyrillic alphabet), which has different typographic standards from the modern Cyrillic alphabet (Cyrl). In case it matters, Old East Slavic (orv) and other languages may require or optionally use this script.

A suitable font list currently would be "Menaion, Menaion Medieval, Dilyana, Code2000, Lazov", but due to incomplete support would have to be updated as soon as better fonts are available. A larger font size would be beneficial too, since these fonts are very small. This should probably be applied in all browsers, not just MSIE, because the set of code points used overlaps with regular Cyrillic, and a mix of font families would be unreadable and terribly ugly.

A suitable short name for this would be Slavonic, which is commonly used in a historical and academic context.

Thanks for any advice. —Michael Z. 2008-05-06 22:36 z

I gave it a try. Please see {{Slavonic}}. —Michael Z. 2008-05-08 06:54 z

Script template inside lang templates?

Hey all, I wanted to clarify if there is any reason to use this template inside lang templates (e.g. as done here), or is that redundant?
(I've generally not seen this done before, but I'm not clear on what the script template really does either.) R Prazeres (talk) 15:35, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Can an admin update the Hebrew sub-template to the sandbox version I've written? I changed text size from 115 to 125 to accommodate for disproportion with Latin text (example). I also added <includeonly> and </includeonly> for the template code. Golmore ^δ 12:20, 30 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Done * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:40, 14 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Pppery, apparently the script font can't be displayed on the mobile view, so Hebrew text in this template appears too big (the standard font doesn't need enlargement). If it can't be displayed on mobiles, I think we should use <nomobile> for the font size enlargement. Golmore ^δ 13:25, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
