 | Latin alphabet was a good article, but it was removed from the list as it no longer met the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated. Review: November 24, 2006. |
Maybe it would be a good idea to call this article something like "Ancient Latin Alphabet" to distinguish it from the modern one, but I'm unsure. Your opinions? edit
As the title says, I was thinking that maybe this article should be renamed to something else to better distinguish it from the modern Latin alphabet. Especially since I noticed that quite often on articles that should link to the modern Latin alphabet, quite often people simply write Latin alphabet but because it instead links to this one without them knowing it and so for that I proposed this, together with adding a redirect when it's written "Latin alphabet" to the article "Latin script", which is about the modern one, since very often, when they write that, they actually want to link to the modern one and not to the ancient one, at least for what I noticed. Just to use an example this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin . But I'm unsure if it'd be a good idea and so I wanted to ask for opinions. 94.38.156.219 (talk) 09:17, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
- Definitely this content should be moved to "Ancient Latin alphabet" to avoid the confusion you mentioned. The fact that other wikis are linking their Latin alphabet article to "Latin alphabet" when the main article is actually "Latin script" is also causing troubles on WikiData and other global sites ([1] [2]).--Serg!o (talk) 11:41, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- Support but I wouldn't underestimate the amount of work involved to disentangle the many incoming links, not least to check what they really intended. If there is a call for volunteers, I'll be taking a firm pace backwards. BTW, how ancient is "ancient"? --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 13:28, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
