Script list

Hello,

As we do have a list of:

Mints  •   Reference catalogues  •   Edges  •   Shapes  •  Printers  •   Rulers 

Can we add a category for Script?

I was going to suggest something similar, but found this suggestion.

When I edit a page, the script field has several varieties for the same script family (for example, in Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Georgian, Latin…) and, in my case, I select the basic option because I do not know what the style of these script varieties (I could search in internet, but I am not doing that at the moment).

My idea was to add images with examples of all script in the guidelines

https://en.numista.com/help/scripts-obverse-and-reverse-170.html

but I think that create a page with all scripts and a visualisation example for each one is better.

The interface was changed since this suggestion was created. Now the page should added here:

(The series page was not added at first https://en.numista.com/forum/topic122633.html#p1201420 but I assume it is more know and used now.)

Or just add examples to the drop down list for those that are missing.

I would love having the overview page for scripts!

It could give more room for elaborating on scripts and how to identify/destinguis them. Eg. all the different Chinese or Latin scripts. Having pictures and maybe even its entire inventory (to a certain extend), make it a kind of wiki-pedia/omniglot over the scripts used on here :D

Without knowing much about it, I think the reason why we can't have examples in the drop down list in the search page, is because all of the scripts don't exists in unicode?
