How to insert a full stop?

I've been using the instructions at #Customization to construct some custom inserts. But my desired inserts include actual full stops (.), which of course get converted to spaces. Also this seems unescapable using e.g. \.. Is there an established way of insering these? / Lokal_Profil 10:36, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

My current work around is to subst a template thqt only contains a full stop, but that feels a bit ridiculous. / Lokal_Profil 09:08, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
May need to update something in MediaWiki:Gadget-charinsert-core.js; if you sandbox it and make it work and have a suggestion let us know. — xaosflux Talk 10:29, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

IPA section

For some reason, it lists some vowels, notably ɛ (which is an open-mid front unrounded vowel) as close-mids, and it shouldn’t be like this БудетЛучше (talk) 18:20, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

What interface are you talking about? If you mean CharInsert's IPA section, ⟨ɛ⟩ appears correctly with other open-mids. Nardog (talk) 03:48, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Please replace the following block 

div#editpage-specialchars {
	display: block;
	border: 1px solid #c0c0c0;
	padding: .5em 1em;
}

#editpage-specialchars a {
	background-color: #f9f9f9;
	border: 1px solid #ddd;
	padding: 1px 4px;

}

with 

div#editpage-specialchars {
	display: block;
	border: 1px solid var( --border-color-base, #a2a9b1 );
	padding: .5em 1em;
}

#editpage-specialchars a {
	background-color: var( --background-color-interactive-subtle, #f8f9fa );
    color: var( --color-progressive, #36c );
	border: 1px solid var( --border-color-interactive, #72777d );
	padding: 1px 4px;
}

Interface-protected edit request on 24 January 2025

Please add the fractions ¼, ½, and ¾ under "Symbols", i.e. change that line to 

'Symbols': '~ | ¡¿†‡↔↑↓•¶#∞ ‹+› «+» {\{angle.bracket|+}}  ¤₳฿₵¢₡₢$₫₯€₠₣ƒ₴₭₤ℳ₥₦№₧₰£៛₨₪৳₮₩¥  ♠♣♥♦  𝄫♭♮♯𝄪 ¼½¾ ©®™ ◌ ☉☾☿♀🜨♂♃♄⛢♆',

Rationale: MOS:FRAC states specifically that these three fractions alone may be used as special characters for typographical consistency, e.g. floppy disk. Especially in chess notation it is kind of annoying not to have ½ (needed in every drawn game) easily available. Double sharp (talk) 06:31, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

 Done @Double sharp, does my edit work ? The changes that you proposed cause a significant change above and beyond the scope of your edit request so I decided to go with the more literal interpretation. Sohom (talk) 01:35, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
@Sohom Datta: They're still not showing up under "Symbols" on my end (under the edit window). :( Double sharp (talk) 02:01, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
MediaWiki:Edittools shows for copy-pasting for JS-disabled browsers, while MediaWiki:Gadget-charinsert-core.js is the script for JS-enabled browsers. The latter still needs to be edited. Anomie⚔ 02:07, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
Yep, figured that out right now :) The js file has been edited and the characters should show up for folks. Sohom (talk) 02:16, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
 Done Sohom (talk) 12:48, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
@Sohom Datta: Thank you, that worked perfectly! :D Double sharp (talk) 07:08, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
