A couple of months ago I was asked to push code change
for Samogotian. (At
the time I hadn't have regulated my membership on this mailing list, then I
forgot it.)
But Samogotian is not the only code to be fixed. Basically, we should make
the decision and suggest to the Board/staff/Phabricator to proceed with
that. I see that None of the cases I am suggesting is in any way
problematic, as well as those names are already implemented into the
interwiki codes.
bat-smg => sgs
be-x-old => be-tarask
fiu-vro => vro
roa-rup => rup
zh-classical => lzh
zh-min-nan => nan
zh-yue => yue
I don't know if you already did or not this, but I think it's time to push
it.
In relation to the old codes, I think they should stay as "permanent
redirects" as long as there is a traffic to them. They won't be used in any
other case, so we don't need to hurry in relation to their removal.
Work has already begun to rename these wikis. Wearing my WMF staff hat as
a community liaison and in User:Krenair's role as a developer, we are
slowly planning to make our way through the list [0]. Be-x-old was already
renamed to be-tarask as our first test [1], then we moved Wikimedia Eesti's
wiki from
et.wikimedia.org to
ee.wikimedia.org (following the chapter wiki
convention of country codes instead of language code). [2]
Vöro is up next to be renamed after I got confirmation from the community
that the request still stands last month [3], so that will be done soon. We
are taking our time to make sure that each move does not expose new bugs
and making sure that local consensus still stands for the requests as
most are very old
.
The old domain names are redirecting, as you suggest.
