LANGUAGE SUBTAG REGISTRATION FORM
1. Name of requester: Michael Everson
2. E-mail address of requester: everson @
evertype.com
3. Record Requested:
Type: variant
Subtag: wpsimple
Description: Wikipedia Simple English
Prefix: en
4. Intended meaning of the subtag:
The subtag is intended to represent the controlled language used on
http://simple.wikipedia.org. This language is a mix of Basic English, VOA
Special English, and some more guidelines.
5. Reference to published description of the language (book or article):
Wikipedia:Simple English Wikipedia
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simple_English_Wikipedia
Wikipedia:How to write Simple English pages
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_write_Simple_English_pag…
6. Any other relevant information:
Problem: The Simple English Wikipedia uses "simple" for the domain (
simple.wikipedia.org) and "en" for its language. This is a problem
because:
* The domain is different from the language code.
* The language code is the same as in the English Wikipedia.
These two problems definitely create several issues for the
ContentTranslation extension and possibly other components. It's possible
to work around them, but it's better to straighten things out by changing
the language code.
This will lead to
en-wpsimple.wikipedia.org
