Discussion

• Why is the name EUC code and not Big5 code? What do CJK and EUC stand for? (It would be nice to have that information in the description) ChristianKl (talk) 09:44, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
  • I assume that was an error in creating the property proposal as a copy from another one. I've fixed the proposed label. ArthurPSmith (talk) 14:56, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

• @Yair rand, PKM: See the discussion on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/EUC_code, there's the possibility of using encoding (P3294) and code (P3295) to deal with this. Do you think that it's important to have a special property for each? ChristianKl (talk) 20:06, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
  • No, a generic system for codes seems preferable. (Changed to  Oppose new property.) --Yair rand (talk) 16:56, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
• A problem with big5 is that it have tons of official and unofficial extensions and they aren't necessarily compatible with each other.. Maybe this can be resolved by using quantifier? Like saying a character is AAAA in IBM version and then it is BBBB is Microsft's CP950 versionC933103 (talk) 07:12, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose encoding (P3294) and code (P3295) should do the job. ChristianKl (talk) 00:42, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
• @NMaia, Yair rand, ArthurPSmith, PKM, C933103, Vladimir Alexiev: Does anyone of you oppose closing this proposal, EUC code and Shift-JIS code given that the data can be expressed as explained above with existing properties? ChristianKl (✉) 15:05, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
  • No opposition from me. NMaia (talk) 15:34, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
    • Nor from me. --Yair rand (talk) 18:31, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
    • That works for me. - PKM (talk) 19:21, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
• Not done per above agreement. ChristianKl (✉) 12:30, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
