Reference pages built to be cited

A reference page earns its keep when other writers link to it. That only happens if the page is accurate, stable, and pleasant to read, so each entry here is compiled from the primary standard, checked cell by cell, and given a plain explanation of where it comes from and how to use it. The tables live at fixed URLs, which means a wiki, a document, or a blog post can point to the exact section it needs.

Start with the NATO phonetic alphabet, decode a signal with the Morse translator, or look up a response with the HTTP status codes. Every set is free, runs in your browser, and sends nothing anywhere.
