The template was created after discussion at [[Wiktionary talk:Todo/Anomalous section0 content#ja]]. It's used on only two entries currently:

  • [[ја]], which is in Cyrillic script, uses the template to note "Note: This is written in Cyrillic script. See ja for the Latin-script of the word".
  • [[Io]], which is capital-I lowercase-o, uses the template to note "Note: This is uppercase i, not lowercase L.".

IMO this is what {{also}} is for: These transclusions should use {{also}} instead, and this template should be gotten rid of.

(Arguably, the site-wide use of a template such as this should be discussed at the BP rather than here, but the template author, Bequw, has indicated that RFDO is okay with him.)​—msh210 (talk) 17:23, 23 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Though creator, I'm ambivalent towards its existence. The real question is what to do with the pre-existing messages which this template merely regularized (and if similar messages would be useful as well). --Bequw τ 17:54, 23 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
It's not redundant as {{also}} doesn't allow any 'comments', it's a question of whether we should have any messages at all in these entries, I too am pretty ambivalent about it. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:47, 27 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Do we really need that? See its use at the top of the page at ја. {{also}} seems sufficient to me. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 19:12, 4 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Abstain. Unlikely that someone would land on that page and get confused, but it might invite well-meaning vandalism if someone got linked to it. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 17:37, 5 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Meh, weak keep; for something like this where the characters are graphically identical, it seems like a useful note for, as Meta says, anyone who follows a link to the page. - -sche (discuss) 20:06, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
