Inappropriate citation template for the old TTY bulletins

I have raised a challenge to the fact that Template:Tl has been redirected to Template:Tl:cite journal and consequently (if the material cited is not an academic journal) the citation is being changed to Template:Tl, which is nonsensical for a 1938 document. For discussion, see Help talk:Citation Style 1/Archive 81#"Cite document" needs its own template. Redirecting to cite journal is illogical and unfriendly. More eyes welcome. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:38, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

The outcome of that discussion was that, while the argument has merit, there are far more serious issues with (ab)use of Template:Tl that have to be resolved first. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 09:59, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Proposal to change infobox

Template:Infobox symbol Unless anyone objects, i propose to change the infobox from Template:Tl to Template:Tl. The proposed new version is shown here. Comments? John Maynard Friedman (talk) 18:16, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

I should give my reasons:

1. I have never seen the symbol used for punctuation
2. The appearance of the symbol infobox is neater, IMO but then again wp:Mandy Rice-Davies applies, since I wrote it. But I do think that the sizes of the symbols are more in keeping with the body text size.
3. This infobox provides the Unicode code-points

Enough? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 00:40, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
