There is little data on usage of {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} and {{tp|[[sitelen sitelen]]}} glyphs in the community. Many are <em>proposed</em> by [[font]]makers or other [[Tokiponist]]s for {{wikt|completionism|completionist}} purposes, but see little to no <em>usage</em> in practice. |

On the one hand, these glyphs should not be given undue weight. On the other, readers may already be disproportionately familiar with them from font repertoires, dictionaries (such as {{tok|[[Linku]]}}), and even personal experimentation with fonts. They could easily assume that such a glyph is in common usage, and that the wiki article is merely incomplete if the glyph is absent. |

The current consensus is that these sorts of nonstandard and proposed glyphs may be included, but they should not be described as "the" glyph for a certain word. |
The current consensus is that these sorts of nonstandard and proposed glyphs may be included, but they should not be described as "the" glyph for a certain word, nor displayed in the infobox. A suggested exception is if a glyph was designed by the word's coiner, demonstrating that the word is intended to be associated with that glyph. |

The word {{tp|{{subst:PAGENAME}}}} <!--predated/is not often used in--> {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}}. A proposed glyph ({{sp|{{subst:PAGENAME}}}}) was designed by <!--whom?--> in <!--when?-->, <!--why?-->. It <!--depicts/represents/is derived from/is composed of…-->. In practice, it is unknown whether this glyph sees significant use. |

Another example for a [[historical]] word. For other cases, the first sentence can be tweaked. |

The word {{tp|{{subst:PAGENAME}}}} predated {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}}; a glyph was later proposed by <!--whom?--> in <!--when?--> so that it could be used in the writing system. The proposed glyph ({{sp|{{subst:PAGENAME}}}}) is depicts/represents/is derived from/is composed of <!--…-->. In practice, it is unknown whether the glyph sees significant use. |
