- Hiragana and Katakana, with stroke order GIFs
- Historical note: both Hiragana and Katakana had a set of stroke order GIFs on Commons already, but only the Hiragana page was using them; the Katakana stroke order graphics actually weren't in use anywhere. The Hiragana page also had a nice side by side grid, whereas the Katakana page just some image galleries. I edited the Katakana page to both be in the same grid format as the Hiragana page, and to finally employ the stroke order GIFs. I feel good about this.
