Discuție Wikipedia:Pagini românești cu diacritice

I think it will be safer to substitute the letters with their HTML-code. Inside Wikipedia this will always work, independent wether utf-8 or iso-xxx is used. I tried within the German Wikipedia to use the ş without substitution, and it didn't work.

For links outside from Wikipedia its more complicated. The method to substitute â with â works with Opera 5.12 but not with Opera 7.2. The substitution with &#amp;#226; works with Opera 7.2 but not with Opera 5.12 - and it might depend also on the character-encoding of the html-file. Here it might be the best to copy the text from the browser's adress bar. --Diacrit 12 Dec 2003 20:24 (UTC)

The problem with the links to Romanian articles with diacriticals are due to the still incomplete support of Unicode. This applies to some Wikipedias which are still using an iso-859-x encoding instead of utf-8, as well as to some browsers, which don't handle Unicode properly (e. g. old Opera 5.12 version). There is no general rule, how to replace a special character with another special character or combination of them, because this is not only xx.wikipedia dependend but also browser specific. IMHO the only solution that works in all cases, is to substitue the special characters by HTML numeric character references in the form &#dddd;. I tested it randomly on some Wikipedias (incl. ro, en, de, fr, se, hi, ru) and it worked. Every browser delivers the HTML entities unchanged to the Wikipedias, and they seem all to be able to handle them correctly. Special chars treatment depends on the browser, and therefore if you enter a special char, there might arrive different chars at Wikipedia with different browsers.

Finally, here is the concluzion („vorba multă sărăcia omului” ;-)

• if the direct use of diacriticals [[ro:România]] doesn't work (or you are not sure of it) use the HTML numeric codes [[ro:România]] for links within Wikipedias
• links on pages outside Wikipedia (<a href="http:ro.wikipedia.org...") to Wikipedia sites are in the responsibility of the browser, and therefore the substitution with HTML codes doesn't work in every browser. If you are refering from your site to a Wikipedia article, you should use the complete adress as displayed in the browser's adress bar.

Maybe someone could add these suggestions to the "Pagini româneşti cu diacritice" page. Thanks! --Diacrit 13 Dec 2003 18:08 (UTC)

Mai este valabil?

Am impresia că problema diacriticelor s-a rezolvat. Dacă aşa este, propun ştergerea acestei pagini. — AdiJapan ☎ 30 octombrie 2006 09:05 (EET)
