Asterisks vs daggers

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Just because we used asterisk in every previous article for the super draft doesn't mean we must continue to use it now. That's a terrible reason to continue because I can correct this in the previous articles. The reason not to use an asterisk is that it's a special character and causes some special handling, although only at the start of a sentence. It's also not distinct. The superscript dagger makes it distinct, and there's even a faded version that wouldn't impede visually. The best reasons not to use a dagger are that it might be problematic for screen readers and the superscript might increase row height for the prose. Feel free to discuss. Without a discussion, I'll be happy to apply the formatting to all previous articles. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:58, 18 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
