colour in the table edit
@Fdom5997 please read MOS:COLOR, specifically;
- Ensure that color is not the only method used to communicate important information. Especially, do not use colored text or background unless its status is also indicated using another method, such as an accessible symbol matched to a legend, or footnote labels. Otherwise, blind users or readers accessing Wikipedia through a printout or device without a color screen will not receive that information
I don't understand your argument that bold and italics are harder to interpret than colours - would you rather that footnotes were used? IPA links are also undoubtedly beneficial for the article, and if the information about dialects can be communicated with a method that's not colour-dependent (which it can be), then they should naturally be used. Please respond here giving an exact argument for why the table should be kept in its current state without IPA links and with colours. Stan traynor (talk) 17:22, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- (additionally, if you wish to see an example of an article that uses bolding for the same purposes as colour, check out Toda language) Stan traynor (talk) 17:24, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- Ok for the sake of your argument, I really don't see how it is easier for blind users to access links with bold or italic letters. I'm not saying that it's "harder", but I am saying that it is a bit awkward while reading. However, if it were to be changed again, just maybe I would feel better if footnotes were used instead, but I also think that if you give it a mix between light and dark colors, that may work better for the users/viewers who are colorblind.

- If a reader is blind it's a moot point as they will be unable to access either colour or bolding/italics. I will be putting it back to before, but also using footnotes. Stan traynor (talk) 06:26, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
