I'd like to propose some format changes to this template. First off, two of the encoding system represented here are represented in Wiktionary with their own entries: Braille patterns via their own Unicode codepoints, and ASL manual alphabet letters via Wiktionary's new sign transcription system. Since these separate entries exist and have pictures already, I move that we replace the pictures on this template with links. It may see weird to have the plain letter "A" as the link for the ASL, but this is consistent with WT:ASGN where the link should be sign transcript, which in this case is just "A". Secondly, I'd like to make the template more consistent with Witkionary UI. Since this will be transcluded probably in a See also section it should try to look like those other elements when possible (left-hand-side and using bullets). Aside from consistency, this would make sure the template doesn't overlap with other floating elements on cluttered pages (like the letter pages).

Optionally, the text "Signal flag" and "Semaphore" could go above the images. What do people think?--Bequw → ¢ • τ 14:00, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Sure, that makes sense. —Rod (A. Smith) 16:14, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Or maybe to {{letter-gallery}}. The only thing we'd have to figure out is how to show the NATO phonetic.
