== External Link Suggestion ==
Would it be a good idea to add an HTML character typer/generator (such as http://multiz.com/characters.php) to the external links section? This could be helpful to users unfamiliar with HTML. I thought I'd run it by everyone before posting it. [[User:Mjas|Mjas]] 18:16, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Let us discuss an edit [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Character_encodings_in_HTML&diff=348594877] of user Ms2ger. Because he forged the '''m''' label (for which I put him [[user talk:Ms2ger#Bold m-edit in Character encodings in HTML|a formal warning]]), this controversial edit attracted no attention. But a crucially important reference [http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html#h-5.2.2 to the W3C], which prove its disappointment in HTTP/1.1 charset detection, was removed without any compensation. Should we restore that piece of text, or let us write all article from scratch for the third time? [[User:Incnis Mrsi|Incnis Mrsi]] ([[User talk:Incnis Mrsi|talk]]) 11:37, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
: No response in reasonable time – an edit partially reverted, I restored all voluntary removed information. Please, do not remove unless discussed here (for ''each paragraph'' in question), or use {{tl|fact}} tag for statements which appear poorly referenced.

== HTML decimal(sic) character rendering ==
The {{pagelinks|HTML decimal character rendering}} "article" is a crappy backwater almost without inbound links. Its quality is better indicated by an evident misnomer in the title: there is no such term as [[decimal character reference]], but there are [[numeric character reference]]s, and the essential word "reference" also was omitted. If nobody corrected this for 7 years, then it is apparently not needed to anyone. Let us merge the content which is not already here, and forget.

* Merge to [[Numeric character reference]], a near-duplicate of the topic, but this has almost nothing to do with character encodings and that would be an inappropriate merge target. [[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] ([[User talk:Andy Dingley|talk]]) 16:41, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
*: It is also a possibility. But I disagree that it "has almost nothing to do with character encodings" indeed – it discuss namely specific codes and their interpretation in HTML. BTW I presently noticed that this article is named "Character encoding'''s''' in HTML", although "[[Character encoding in HTML]]" (singular) IMHO would be more appropriate. Not "different code pages and other types of plain text encoding applied to HTML", as the current title suggests, but "encoding of characters in HTML", in the broad sense.

::* The use of character and entity references achieves the same thing as encoding, the transmission of Unicode characters, but it does so in quite a different way. The purpose of the character references is to identify the Unicode characters whilst still in a restricted encoding, such as plain ASCII.
::: If we were to merge the lot to "Encoding of characters in HTML" (which is already the scope [[Character encodings in HTML]] is using), then the risk is that is confuses these two quite distinct approaches, also that it nears [[WP:HOWTO]].[[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] ([[User talk:Andy Dingley|talk]]) 11:42, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
