Bug #: 32483
Summary: en.wp uses lang="simple" for simple: interlang links.
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Internationalization
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
'simple' isn't a valid language code, though we're outputting it for
interlanguage links.
We 'could' add in a simple hack here that will make 'simple' output lang="en"
instead.
Though I do have a bit of a more interesting idea. Instead of what, how about
we swap simple for en-x-Simple and add in a code that lets us create aliases
for language codes so that simple: will still be equivalent to en-x-Simple.
Going by bcp47 (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt) the code
en-x-Simple is valid. It's an 'en' lang code with a private subtag of 'Simple'.
bcp47 reserves x-* for private use purposes, things that wouldn't be
registered, essentially that's what we're talking about here.
