Appendix talk:Hepburn Chart

Text looks small
I don't know why, but the text of the table looks small on my browser, which makes it difficult to read. 27.24.190.103 07:03, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
 * That because the font size is hard-coded that way in html. I've posted a request for someone to clean it up, since it's pretty grim in every other respect, too. Chuck Entz (talk) 17:48, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

RFC discussion: November 2014–June 2016
An IP complained about the font size on this page, which is understandable, but that's just part of what's wrong with it. The table is hard-coded html, there's no wikilinking or font support, and it's just plain ugly. Can someone de-uglify this thing? Chuck Entz (talk) 17:44, 8 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Wow, I never even knew that page existed. It's only got three incoming links: this RFC, the index to appendices, and the English term entry.
 * is there any value in having this table? It isn't referenced, it's poorly laid out and hard to read, and it doesn't cover all of the modified-Hepburn romanization conventions we use here.  Nominate for deletion?  &#8209;&#8209; Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 09:12, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't mind if it goes, not a great table but we should probably have a better appendix for kana, if there isn't one already. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 11:43, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * If we need an appendix for kana, we should rather rewrite the existing appendix than delete it. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 07:54, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree but I won't be able to do it well. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 21:13, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * We already have About_Japanese/Transliteration as a text-based (as opposed to tabular) explanation of how we romanize Japanese terms here on the EN WT. That page has better potential visibility (with a link to it right on the WT:AJA page) and is more comprehensive in its treatment of modified Hepburn.  It could probably use updating, granted, but it's a much better resource and better location than the nearly-orphaned Appendix:Hepburn Chart page.
 * If there's anything worthy of salvaging from the Appendix:Hepburn Chart page, I propose that we move that salvageable content over to About_Japanese/Transliteration and then delete Appendix:Hepburn Chart. &#8209;&#8209; Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 23:28, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * It's not just about salvaging what's missing. Tables are easier to view and use, provided it's done well. About Japanese/Transliteration doesn't seem complete and easy to read. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 23:45, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry, apparently I wasn't clear -- To restate, I think the Appendix:Hepburn Chart page is a horrible location for any of this information. It's not linked from anywhere, it's not highly visible, and I doubt many people even knew it existed before it showed up on this page.  (I certainly didn't.)  The content could be absolutely golden, and a perfect explanation of the wonders of the universe -- but if it's hidden away in a page location that is obscure and unfindable, there's no value.
 * If you like the table format, great -- let's move that content to About_Japanese/Transliteration. I happen to agree that the table layout is more easily digestible.  However, the Appendix:Hepburn Chart page is not the best place for this.  &#8209;&#8209; Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 00:51, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
 * . Yes, sure. The first step is to move the table, then reformat. I had no objections about the location. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:58, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
 * it looks fine. Johnny Shiz (talk) 22:56, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

RFDO discussion: March–July 2017
Pretty useless/redundant, not linked to by anything but the index to appendices. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 06:51, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
 * , any desire to keep this? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:50, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
 * It's not even a very good chart. It has "ひゃ: hya/bya/pya" without mentioning the existence of dakuten. —suzukaze (t・c) 02:54, 26 May 2017 (UTC)


 * RFD failed. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 05:01, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
