Request for new writing-system category: runes (ISO code runr)
Although I've previously discussed adding a userbox for runic literacy (in the Babelbox section), it seems more logical to list that skill under writing systems instead of languages. I see only a few problems with adding "runr-n" userboxes:
- No native level would apply, because almost nobody consistently uses runes (an ancient script) to write their native language.
- Some distinction between variants of the runic alphabet (Primitive Germanic vs. Saxon vs. Norse) might be useful. The ISO system, however, treats all runic scripts as a single block of Unicode: what kind of modifier should be added to "runr-n" to specify a variant alphabet?

ISO 15924 is Runr not runr. About variants you may ask User:Evertype who makes the codes. (nice to have him in WP). That currently nobody has Runr-N does not matter. I support the creation. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 01:16, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
User iso15924
instead of creating 100 userboces we could make Template:User iso15924 and then let people simply pass parameters. "{User iso15924|-ISO 15924-|-level-}" e.g. "{User iso15924|Cyrl|4}". Maybe an advanced template coder could do this. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 13:35, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
IMO the old boxes should than be only aliases. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 13:39, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
