hi

URI schemes =

Hi, thanks for explaining the reasoning behind your reverts on URI.

My reasoning for adding strange URI’s is to show the difference between webpage addresses and URL’s.

In practice, most people glance at Wikipedia and move on; they don’t follow all links. That’s why I want strange URI’s in the article.

Happy to reword or pick another place in the document to put these. I think they make the encyclopedia friendlier, funnier, and clearer.

There should be a way to do this that does not harm the clarity of your text or the rest of the exposition. Crasshopper (talk) 13:56, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Code page 866

Thank you for that. I was, of course, purely thinking in terms of box drawing in existing text files in OEM-437 (hence "OEM box drawing characters"), and that 866 is the only encoding supported by modern browsers that will display them correctly. I had not noticed that I had made an incorrect statement (because, of course, the characters themselves are included in Unicode and thus UTF-8, just not in the same representations).

I'm somewhat considering adding it back with corrections, but suspect viewing old pre-Unicode text files with box drawing in a web browser is probably too niche a usage case to be worth mentioning. -- HarJIT (talk) 21:10, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

@HarJIT: If you want to share old pre-Unicode text files containing non-ASCII characters, it is generally better to convert them to a Unicode encoding first. That will work regardless of its code page, and you wouldn't have to verify that the only non-ASCII characters in use are the box drawing characters. You could then use the content with a wider variety of modern tools and editors, copy and paste into other Unicode files, etc. -LiberatorG (talk) 16:26, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
