:Names are an interesting one, since you mention it. I have been using OE forms of Christian names, hence articles on 'Iacobus Cook' instead of 'James Cook' (actually I think someone else refined it further to '[[Iacobus Cōc]]'). The names of kings of course take an Old English form as the names echo down the ages. As you can imagine, there is inconsistency throughout the work on names though - across the ocean we also have an article [[Dufenal Trump]] (an authentic, attested version of 'Donald') but a [[John Adams]] which should presumably be 'Iohannes Adams' etc. [[Brūcend:Hogweard|Hogweard]] ([[Brūcendmōtung:Hogweard|mōtung]]) 22:42, 13 Solmōnaþ 2018 (UTC)
:You think using Ƿynn would scare people away? That when people see Ƿynn they will think: "What is this unknown letter? Everything is too complicated, I'd better be off"? But why so? Why not otherwise, why can't people think: "What is this uknown letter? Why is it here? I wanna know". I think there should be a page with Old English alphabet (maybe there is one?) and on this page should be the alphabet, some information about letters, how to read letters and ect. And if people read this page and see Ƿynn on it, it wouldn't scare them, they'll just accept it as a rule and keep reading. There are not a lot Old English resourses using Ƿynn, and Ƿynn could make this one look so much better.
:"the links, templates etc are set up on that assumption" Oh yes, I've noticed. But the links still work with Ƿynn in them, it's not a problem. About names, I think it's a good thing you're using Old English forms, though it's aganist transliteration. But it makes text look in more "Old English way". I wonder why using Ƿynn would put users off and using changed proper nouns wouldn't.
:I at last noticed that ȝƿ option, but only on one page, then it disappered again. I guess it's a technical problem, most likely this option is not available on my computer or on my browser, sadly.
