I would not consider control characters in scope of a dictionary like we are. We're here to define written terms - which can be words, phrases, and even symbols. This however is neither, so delete. -- Liliana•21:03, 6 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
Either delete it or move it to an appendix. I created it to start that BP discussion linked above; after seeing the result, I think the main namespace is a poor place for control characters, but they can be defined nonetheless, for their technical interest. For comparison, we have Appendix:Unsupported titles/Tab and ^G, the latter created by me last year. --Daniel14:41, 7 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
I'd support a single-page appendix for control characters. People will inevitably look them up. Probably shouldn't be in mainspace though. Equinox◑20:29, 7 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
As noted in that small BP discussion, that entry is unclickable from the recent changes. And I can't even click on the title of this thread, which is:
To forestall any possible confusion: this is not a "control character" in the ASCII or Unicode sense. I'm pretty sure that bona fide control characters are not allowed in MediaWiki entry titles, and even if they were, we wouldn't want them. This character, by contrast, might legitimately appear in entry titles, though on its own it apparently does not make for a very good entry title. —RuakhTALK21:56, 7 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
Delete, I think the biggest problem here is that the entry is completely inaccessible like that. Control characters can't be entered into the search and the header appears to be empty. Technically forbidden are only the non-printable characters 0-31 (see list) and the delete character 127, but yet I think that characters like the non-breaking space (&nsbp;) are not useful for Wiktionary. I think the "English" names for control characters, e.g. null character or tab are perfectly fine, but everything else is hardly useful. I think an Appendix, as proposed by some here, may be useful to list these entries. --The Evil IP address18:56, 2 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
