Can somebody setup a redirect from http://nds.wikipedia.org and http://www.nds.wikipedia.org to http://za.wikipedia.com
The Plattdüütsch Wikipedia now is using a old usemod wikipedia whit the wrong language code. Whit the redirect the can spread the good url even when the do not have a fase III wiki

On the Plattdüütsch Wikipedia is a note that if nds is not possibel the like pd.wikipedia.org
This is the note;
:This subdomain was originally reserverd for the creation of a Wikipedia in the Zhuang language. It is now temporarily in use for the Low Saxon Wikipedia sysops: please move these low saxon contents to pd.wikipedia.com (prefered, since .org is so slowly) or pd.wikipedia.org. Look at Sysop advice] As soon as three letter codes are supported by software, the domain should be nds.wikipedia.org since nds is the official ISO 639-2 code since 2000- 05-31

Okay, nds.wikipedia.org redirect is set up; I'll try and get things converted to sit permanently at the new location at some point, but I'm real busy these days and haven't had a chance to work on that conversion script in ages. (Sigh...)

As I understand, the main organizers of this Wikipedia would prefer "pd" rather than "nds". Or is "pd" already an in-use language code?

I am not so sure the like "pd" more. User "Baas" is happy whit the "nds" redirect. He thanks my and Brion. http://za.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?HomePage/Talk
Baas has put on the main page "The current subdomain is http://www.nds.wikipedia.org because nds is the official ISO 639-2 code since 2000-05-31"
It looks there are only 2 users working on that Wikipedia.
But it can not do anything wrong if there is also a redirect form pd.wikipedia.org to that Wikipedia.

"pd" is not an ISO 639-1 language code. Is it possible that it might be assigned sometime later? Or is ISO only assigning (3-letter) 639-2 codes now?

Theoretically it could be assigned... the last change to ISO 639-1 was this February, with the addition of 'ht' for Haitian Creole.
See: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/codechanges.html
We do already have for instance redirects for dk -> da (Denmark -> Danish), cz -> cs (Czech Republic -> Czech), and jp -> ja (Japan -> Japanese) since those country codes don't conflict with any language codes (yet); but we _don't_ have eg my -> ms (Malaysia -> Malay) because 'my' is already reserved for Burmese. Unless there's some reason to expect that people would try 'pd', I'm reluctant to use it up on general principle.
