::::{{reply|Headbomb}} Anyone who already knows how to use ° can still use it. No editors will encounter that markup in articles, because all instances have been converted to the raw Unicode character. What is the point of telling Wikipedia editors who haven't heard of it that they can use it on music pages? The vast majority of people familiar with the topic of music (and most topics) are not be familiar with HTML, which is the whole point of why Wikipedia uses wikitext markup (which it considers easier to learn) instead of HTML. -- [[User:Beland|Beland]] ([[User talk:Beland|talk]]) 01:28, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

:::::::{{reply|Headbomb}} But {{tl|music}} is also valid and easy. Why not just tell editors who haven't heard of either method about that one, which is undisputed and semantically related to the markup, instead of only telling them about the easy but disputed method which is semantically unrelated? -- [[User:Beland|Beland]] ([[User talk:Beland|talk]]) 23:50, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
