With all due respect, would you mind saying why? Please keep in mind the
following, from my perspective as someone who is at the same time (a) not a
member of LangCom, but (b) very active in managing Incubator on a day-to-day
basis.
* In doing this, nobody would be changing the requirement that a language
must have an ISO 639–3 code in order to be approved (or in order to have a test
on Incubator). The question of the existence of the code and question of the
use of the code in our projects do not have to be the same question.
* I see the Mapuche test projects as having been pretty inactive for a
while. I don't know if that's simply because there is no interest in the
native-speaker community now, or because the community finds the idea of
editing under this code offensive.
* It's not for me to decide whether the community should find the code
offensive. Nor am I taking sides as to whether anybody is or is not racist, or
is or is not perpetuating anything inappropriate. I'm simply interested in
running an experiment to see whether the community would be willing to get more
involved on Incubator under a different code. Because, like it or not,
evidently the community itself finds the code offensive.
* It's easy enough to test the idea in Incubator now without messing
anything else up. I do this by creating redirects on the wiki from all the
W?/arn pages to W?/qmp pages. Nothing else would change for present. Nobody
would even have to change any underlying master redirects yet:
* arn.wikipedia.org (presumably) redirects to
incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/arn, which would then redirect using the wiki
markup to incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/qpm
I'm not saying you're wrong to oppose this idea, but would you mind explaining
why? Thanks.
Steven
