Should this be moved to Modi (script) or Modi script? I think it should unless it is really much more common to call it Script Modi in English. - Taxman Talk 14:29, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I have added a picture showing Modi script glyphs to make the subject more explicable. Pathare Prabhu ( talk) 06:58, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
It should be moved to MoDi script. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajeshkhilari ( talk • contribs) 19:28, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: consensus to move the page, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 00:48, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

From previous move, cited above: this article is primarily about the alphabet.
From discussion above: That should apply to abjads, not adugidas.
I think adugida may be another spelling (perhaps a misspelling) of abugida, is that correct? Andrewa ( talk) 19:42, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
some thousands of ghits-- Not really :-) Staszek Lem ( talk) 01:59, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
Google books gives 350 hits for alphabet and 2810 for script [3] [4] so I'm still in favour of the move, but the rather strange search string above (adding -wikipe while keeping -wikipedia) does make me wonder what is going on here. There are many political consequences of linguistic terminology. http://ex515.wikia.com/wiki/Modi_alphabet is an interesting site, and not a reliable source (and sites like it may account for the difference when you specify -wikipe, or it may be a Google glitch... they happen!).
So, what's the background to this controversy? We don't want to promote either view. Andrewa ( talk) 22:07, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
... or inaccurate names for the article subject, as determined in reliable sources, are often avoided even though they may be more frequently used by reliable sourcesAnd I !voted accordingly. There is nothing peculiar in my google search; it is a standard way to weed out fluff from google search results. Why is your concern that my argument is accepted has any relevance? This is !vote, not democracy. Finally, please bug off with insulting wikilinks to wp:soap. As seasoned Wikipedian as you is supposed to at least read and understand essays brandished into the OP's face. Staszek Lem ( talk) 00:26, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
BTW, Google books gives 89 hits for alphabet and 2770 for script. Staszek Lem ( talk) 00:35, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
