Template talk:Infobox country: Difference between revisions

::::::I think the simplest way to deal with the ibx problems highlight is to start by creating an unambiguous definition of what 'official' means in use on wikipedia (which might differ from a dictionary definition) This is because 'official' has two meanings and we should use only one for the sake of practicality. If we don't, all these other ibx problems will continue. Oh, and once that is dine we can do the same for 'national', which can also be ambiguous.

:::::::"Official" has one meaning (used by officials, in the official capacity of governance), it's just that editors are perennially confused about it for some reason. <span style="border-radius:2px;padding:3px;background:#1E816F">[[User:Remsense|<span style="color:#fff">'''Remsense'''</span>]]<span style="color:#fff">&nbsp;‥&nbsp;</span>[[User talk:Remsense|<span lang="zh" style="color:#fff">'''论'''</span>]]</span> 04:59, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

 

:Agree on clarification to prevent future problems and hopefully provide clarity and precedence on future cases. To reiterate the current contention surrounding Silla and other Korean polity infoboxes, these historical polities did not use the modern phonetic Korean writing system known as [[Hangul]], which was officially adopted in 1894. Prior to this, official Korean documents were written in [[Hanja]], or literary Chinese, which was not a phonetic system. Users have been battling it out on these country article infoboxes on whether to use only Hanja, only Hangul, both, and in which order they should be listed in for the native name, for years now. I saw including both as the most convenient compromise and that was the version which I tried to restore to, with the Hanja listed first.
