“Basic English” is a well-defined language form, but “simple” is not.
That’s one problem.
Here is the best definition I'm aware of: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_write_Simple_English_page...
It's a mix of Basic English, VOA Special English, and some more guidelines, and like everything in Wikipedia it's not set in stone.
I guess that the Simple Enlgish Wikipeia is the only place where this set of rules is used. Can that be a problem? If it is, then maybe it can be something en-x-simple, although it's uglyish for a domain.
I’m the IANA subtag registrar, if you didn’t know it.
I didn't!
Maybe “wpsimple” would be precise enough. Are there other Simple
Wikipedias?
Not at the moment. There is a certain possibility of this happening in the future.
