Hi,
I'm quite confused by this discussion and I'm not even sure why there is a discussion here in the first place...
Wikidata has a help page for almost a year now : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Monolingual_text_languages where it's clearly stated new code are ok, as long at it's a valid BCP 47 code and used in a real case. And it's written : « A language code does not have to fulfill the requirements of the language proposal policy for new Wikis. » ; and indeed, a lot of lang code where added, AFAIK the lang com never even talked about it (at least not when the « und », « mis », « mul » and « zxx » codes where added last year : https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T72205 ).
For me this help page seems pretty straigthforward. And more pratically, if there is no code for Canadian French, people will just keep going to use the code « mis » with a qualifier like in the given usage example (here : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q145992 ) which seems way worse to me.
Cdlt, ~nicolas
