Bug ID: 45820
Summary: Links in "In other languages" broken when language is
an alias or out of use
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized

Set up a Babel-box with "no" as one of the entries, then try to accsess the
language "norsk bokmål" on the page for P236
(http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P236?uselang=en). When you click on the
link in "In other languages" this will fail to change the language as the "no"
languahe is a meta language for both (nn - nynorsk and nb - bokmål) written
forms of Norwegian. We now only supports the codes "nb" and "nn". Because
Norwegian (bokmål) Wikipedia uses no.wikipedia.org the erroneous use of "no" in
the Babel-box will be quite common.
More generally language aliases should be resolved in various places of the
code, as this kind of bug is very annoying for the user.
