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.​
