Support

 * 2) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support  at least those are the least controversial of the bunch. -- Liliana • 00:12, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support, though I don't think we need a VOTE for just fourteen redirects; I think an RFM would have been enough. —Ruakh TALK 00:50, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support Bequw → τ 06:49, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support not only for these specific pages, but as resolution for any page titles that have these digraphs. DAVilla 07:25, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I hope someone can use JavaScript to make (say) ǆoker redirect to džoker. --Daniel 08:11, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Given that there are only fourteen — yes, that would be pretty easy. Especially since we'd want that redirect to happen even if džoker didn't already have an entry. —Ruakh TALK 11:34, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Abstain

 * 1) [[Image:Symbol abstain vote.svg|20px]] Abstain per Ruakh (when voting in support) -- Gauss 21:39, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) [[Image:Symbol abstain vote.svg|20px]] Abstain Equinox ◑ 21:41, 17 July 2011 (UTC) I just don't understand enough about it. I thought the difference between the two ijs was significant in Dutch, at least for sorting and processing purposes...? Perhaps nothing that affects dictionary words. Equinox ◑ 21:41, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think anyone online ever uses the single-character form &lt;ĳ&gt;, so any difference is mostly theoretical. At [[Index:Dutch/b1]], for example, it doesn't appear once, whereas the two-character form &lt;ij&gt; occurs more than seven hundred times. (If we were distinguishing the two versions, then all but a few of those would use the one-character form.) Our entry and the Wikipedia article both state that dictionaries collate &lt;ĳ&gt; like the two letters I-J; some other works (we mention phone books, Wikipedia mentions encyclopedias) do differently — but I seem to recall that Britannica collates "Mc-" names under "Mac-", and we never use a digraph for that, so . . . —Ruakh TALK 23:47, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) [[Image:Symbol abstain vote.svg|20px]] Incidentally, I agree that RFM suffices for fourteen entries. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 15:40, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Comment

 * What does "as a 0th-namespace page titles" mean? < class="latinx" >Ƿidsiþ 19:45, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I assume it means "in the Main namespace". --EncycloPetey 19:49, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * You assumed correctly. The big page Namespace says that the main namespace is "0", the Talk: namespace is "1", the User: namespace is "2", and so on. --Daniel 00:59, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
