Style for mentioned terms

[edit]
  • Voting on: the default style to use for mentioning Latin (roman) script terms and phrases (those written with the English alphabet or one very similar) within running text, e.g. in ===Etymology=== and ====Usage notes====. The decision will be incorporated into the '.mention-Latn' class of MediaWiki:Common.css, used by {{term}}. Each reader can override the default using WT:PREFS or WT:CUSTOM.
    • This vote will not affect list sections like ====Synonyms==== and ====Related terms====.
    • This vote will not affect transliterations.
    • This vote will not affect “form-of” definitions.
    • This vote will not affect mentions of terms in languages like Russian or Chinese, which use other scripts and have their own considerations.
  • Vote ends: 10 November 2007 23:59 UTC
  • Vote started: 11 October 2007 23:59 UTC

The default, reader-overridable style for Latin (roman) script mentions in running text should be bold

[edit]
E.g.: mention word for readers who have no custom preference
  1. Support — [ ric | opiaterein ] — 01:19, 12 October 2007 (UTC) if we're going to have a default, I think this should be bold, because after all, it's important and should be noticeable.[reply]
