My understanding is that there is a blocking issue for "mul" identified in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32189 and that needs staff review for things to progress. You may wish to start rattling the cage with Rob Lanphier's team to see if they can get their review done. I have already tried waving it with a staff member, however, it may be that we need to push publicly where it is seen. Asking nicely fails. Regards, Billinghurst
Really, simply to add "mul" to the list of included languages should be sufficient (in the double significance of "no specified language - multiple languages"). The "old" prefix would be perhaps better, since it's already in use into Iwpage transclusion. English could be linked to "mul" as default language for translation issues of interface. Is this so terribly difficult? Is there really a hard techno issue, or the whole matter is mainly a matter of "policy"? The latter case would be very disturbing.Alex2014-09-13 22:05 GMT+02:00 Federico Leva (Nemo) <nemowiki@gmail.com>:Alex Brollo, 07/08/2014 15:33:

This bug title (mul vs. www) sounds rather silly. Focusing on a specific
solution rather than the goal you want to achieve is generally
considered a bad practice for bug reporters.
We have several OldWikisource issues related to the fact that MediaWiki
should recognise it as "mul" language and provide standard support for
such a case, but being forced to also change the subdomain seems
extremely weird. That said, if we manage to get some progress that way I
can only be happy. :-)
