Although they are widely used today, Latin Wikipedia doesn't. On the one hand, the likelihood of spelling errors is thus reduced. And on the other hand, a consistent use or "banishment" is important for article names because not using <i>J</i> and <i>j</i> greatly simplifies looking for articles. Otherwise one would have to create a redirecting article for every such article in order to cover the different variants of spelling: e.g. Ursa Major <-> Ursa Maior. </p><p>Surnames of people are an exception. One may use the letter J in surnames, like Johnson for example. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Use_the_letters_U,_u_and_V,_v!" data-mw-thread-id="h-Use_the_letters_U,_u_and_V,_v!-Spelling[1]"><span id="Use_the_letters_U.2C_u_and_V.2C_v.21"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Use_the_letters_U,_u_and_V,_v!-Spelling[1]"></span>Use the letters <i>U</i>, <i>u</i> and <i>V</i>, <i>v</i>!<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Use_the_letters_U,_u_and_V,_v!-Spelling[1]"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Vicipaedia:De_orthographia/en&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section's source code: Use the letters U, u and V, v!"><span>fontem recensere</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>Rationale:</i> Although the letters <i>U</i> and <i>u</i> are not classical either, they are usually distinguished on Latin Wikipedia. This is because this is the common usage in the editions of ancient authors and other books used in our schools such as <i>Wheelock's Latin</i> or <i>The Cambridge Latin Course</i>. So write verbum instead of uerbum or verbvm. The only exception from this rule are words that consist entirely of capital letters, especially quotes, e.g. <i>DIS DEABVSQVE</i>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Avoid_using_ligatures_like_Æ_and_æ_or_Œ_and_œ" data-mw-thread-id="h-Avoid_using_ligatures_like_Æ_and_æ_or_Œ_and_œ-Spelling[1]"><span id="Avoid_using_ligatures_like_.C3.86_and_.C3.A6_or_.C5.92_and_.C5.93"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Avoid_using_ligatures_like_Æ_and_æ_or_Œ_and_œ-Spelling[1]"></span>Avoid using ligatures like <i>Æ</i> and <i>æ</i> or <i>Œ</i> and <i>œ</i><span data-mw-comment-end="h-Avoid_using_ligatures_like_Æ_and_æ_or_Œ_and_œ-Spelling[1]"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Vicipaedia:De_orthographia/en&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section's source code: Avoid using ligatures like Æ and æ or Œ and œ"><span>fontem recensere</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>Rationale:</i> Although <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typographic_ligature" class="extiw" title="en:Typographic ligature">ligatures</a> appear extensively in Roman <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/epigraphy" class="extiw" title="en:epigraphy">epigraphy</a> (inscriptions) and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/palaeography" class="extiw" title="en:palaeography">palaeography</a> (manuscripts), they make modern full text search much more difficult or even impossible; so our recommendation is to avoid them.
