Talk:Chinese characters

Does the lead try to imply that pre-Columbian writing in the Americas was derived from one of the systems listed in the lead? 84.245.121.76 (talk) 09:19, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

That was just added by User:Jdftba and differs from what the body of the article says. Kanguole 09:28, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. Yes, the body lists the Maya script instead of the Indus Valley script. Can you please fix it? Thanks again. 84.245.121.76 (talk) 09:50, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

@Absolutiva, please confer with my previously given edit summary. You do not have consensus to unilaterally enforce all your preferred forms and styles across many articles, especially when there are counteracting reasons explicitly given to you for things being otherwise, so please do not act as if you do.

Grapesurgeon added |module= parameter to {{Infobox writing system}}, which allows embedding other templates in this one, see here. Hangul is the first time to embedding infobox with {{Infobox Korean name/auto}}. Absolutiva 22:15, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

I understand what is achieved with the parameter.. Please confer with the reasons already given for why it's not right for this article. You cannot be dogmatic like this given the volume at which you make these kinds of edits to important articles. Remsense 🌈 论 22:23, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

It's part of the bold edit what I previously attempt to merge infobox containing |module= parameter like this, this and that. Unlike other templates that recently added |module= parameter, including {{Infobox holiday}}, {{Infobox food}} or {{Infobox newspaper}}, as an example for embedding parent infobox with child infoboxes.

Should this article be renamed as "Hanzi", or get split into a separate article under the name of "Hanzi" be created where the Chinese and China-specific information gets migrated and elaborated on so this original article just serves as a general overview of Chinese characters across all languages? This is because the usage of Chinese characters in other East Asian languages have their own articles titled after what Chinese characters are called in those languages, such as Kanji, Hanja and Chữ Nôm, whereas Hanzi does not have such a corresponding article. It's quite strange if articles about other languages' utilisation of Chinese characters have indigenized titles while Chinese itself does not. And it's not a situation of WP:COMMONNAME either as the term "hanzi" seems to also be quite commonly used in the Anglophonic sphere now. Nyarlathotep1001 (talk) 04:10, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
