Template:R from emoji is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit extended-protected}} to notify an administrator, template editor or extended-confirmed editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories.

Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. This template does not have a testcases subpage. You can create the testcases subpage here.

Instruction for single Unicode character causes printability conflict

"...use {{R from Unicode character}} in addition to this redirect template if the title consists of a single Unicode character."

However, {{R from Unicode character}} categorizes redirects as unprintworthy, while this template categorizes redirects as printworthy, and neither appears to accept a parameter that would override the aforementioned printability categorizations. For example, I have encountered this on 🥰.

What should be done to fix this? Should the instruction be removed? Should a printability override be added to one or the other template? It depends which printability we think is correct. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 03:59, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel that they should be unprintworthy, feel free to change it. --Gonnym (talk) 13:33, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Casing

Currently the names of emojis are in title case - perhaps that's also what is wanted for DEFAULTSORT. However, the CLDR has changed to all lower case for short names eons ago. Should we update them all? Dpleibovitz (talk) 18:49, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If they've changed, then feel free to update the names. Gonnym (talk) 21:22, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it definitely does make sense to update the names. DEFAULTSORTs are case insensitive anyway, so it shouldn't matter. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 18:18, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
