Hello
(Please direct me somewhere else is this is not the place to ask.)
I am developing a bot to synch ISSN data [1] using WDTK. Creating a
label/alias with the language code 'mul' (to indicate a multilingual
value), or 'mis' (to indicate the language is unknown) does not work and
returns an Exception from the wikimedia API ("[not-recognized-language] The
supplied language code was not recognized"). These 2 codes are however
documented at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Monolingual_text_languages
and listed at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Wikimedia_language_codes/lists/all
I also cannot use these 2 codes when editing through the human interface.
I do however find items in Wikidata with 'mul' language codes.
Am I doing something wrong, did I misunderstand something, or is there a
true problem with these codes ?
Also opened ticket in WDTK issue tracker :
https://github.com/Wikidata/Wikidata-Toolkit/issues/509
Thanks
Thomas
