  • support use ISO 15924 for scripts. three letter codes should only be used for languages as per ISO 639-3 -- Tobias Conradi (Talk) 22:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose - Do we have a policy on this? I'd prefer to see that cited than some ISO standard. Frankly CYR is understood widely so why change it for the sake of some process? --Spartaz 06:14, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
    • cyr (not CYR) can perfectly be mistaken as language related. Which it is not. It is script related. It's not adding more complication, it's reducing complication, because other people allready develeopped a known code list.
    • do we need a policy for every little template? If you need one, than here it is: use ISO 15924 for script coding.
    • where is the policy for using cyr? Tobias Conradi (Talk) 09:21, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment we should also make sure not to run in conflict with ISO 639-3 if cyr one day should be assigned there. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 11:32, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. It makes sense to use both ISO standards together. It may be not such a big deal for Cyrillic, because there’s AFAIK no language of a similar name, but consider Arabic and many others where there’s a script sharing its name (and possible abbreviations) with a language. The move then is for consistency and standard compliance reasons. Christoph Päper 13:17, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment we need to establish a central policy about the naming of userboxes or otherwise we fall into endless debates about names of every userbox.-Hello World! 16:57, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. This would be a very good implemention of ISO 15924, which was designed quite for this purpose. Evertype 19:16, 16 August 2006 (UTC) (creator of ISO 15924)
  • Support per Evertype and others. —Nightstallion (?) 12:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
