:And my further queries on new topics, I'll post to ''your'' Talk page. See you there! ''-- Cheers, [[Usador:Deborahjay|Deborahjay]] ([[Messaje de Usador:Deborahjay|discusión]]) 14:33 24 Ago 2017 (UTC)''

::One other thing to keep in mind: We support four different orthographic conventions for Judeo-Spanish written in the Latin alphabet (or maybe five, depending on how you count). We also support Judeo-Spanish written in alef-bet, which is (of course) the original. There are pages with multiple versions, though not many. I have ''tried'' to consolidate parallel categories, but I know I haven't gotten them all. (See [[:Category:Paizes]] in AY orthography, [[:Category:Payizes]] in OT orthography, and [[:Category:פאאיסיס]].) In theory, my preference is to narrow such down to two categories, a lad-latn and a lad-hebr, with the lad-hebr a subcategory of the lad-latn. But in this particular case, there are parallel pages in the parallel categories, and so I haven't yet decided if I think it's better to keep the two lad-latn categories separate or to combine them. In short, a ''balagan.''

::You don't have to fuss with that; I'm sure there is plenty to do in spaces where such parallelism isn't happening. But do be a little mindful that you may see a bunch of different spellings running around, and they may all be correct. Also ... stay away from pure geography categories for the moment. We've got some cleanup going on, and it would be better if you let that run its course before you dive into that.

:Thanks for the head's-up on the orthographies, which I'd superficially encountered earlier today, and as you say - that's enough for my present need-to-know. I only began studying Hebrew in my last year at UCLA, at age 22, so cognitively I'm far swifter with Latin alphabet languages, even ones in which I can only "word-call." Please know that I work a spontaneous combination of methodically/intuitively but attempt to maintain consistency in the results. At this point I do want to know:
:*Is there a plan for consolidating latin-alphabet terminology, e.g. "Hojas especiales" vs. "Especial:HojasEspesyales" - where we have "Hojas", "Pajinas", and "Páginas" ! I can flex with this, but it necessarily slows down my pick-up of Ladino.
:*For Edit summaries (which I do use) and article/Category Talk pages - should I make an attempt to write in LAD/ES as best I can, or stick with English? What's the community practice?
:*Issues with pages and Categories I'll write on their respective Talk pages, but would like to alert other LAD WP editors/Admins. How do you suggest I do this? (Some one of you might agree to periodically check my page "Donos del Usador"?)
