Module:utilities

• Serbo-Croatian is regularly written in both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts. Because it uses two scripts, Serbo-Croation cannot have a script class applied to entries in its category pages, as only one script class can be specified at a time.

• Russian is usually written in the Cyrillic script (Cyrl), but Braille (Brai) is also listed in its data file. So Russian needs an entry in the catfix_script list, so that the Cyrl (Cyrillic) script class will be applied to entries in its category pages.

To find the scripts listed for a language, go to Module:languages and use the search box to find the data file for the language. To find out what a script code means, search the script code in Module:scripts/data
