--- Comment #3 from Jon Harald Søby <[email protected]> ---
From the top of my head, these should not be used at all:
* simple (labels and descriptions on Wikidata should all be pretty simple by
default; more of a community/policy issue, but technically I don't see the need
for separate simple and en descriptions. But should be discussed by the
community on Wikidata)
* tokipona (why is this still available at all?)
* ug (Wikipedia uses both Arab and Latin script, labels/descriptions should
specify which one is used)



And these should be redirects:
* als -> gsw (correct language code)
* bat-smg -> sgs (correct language code)
* be-x-old -> be-tarask
* fiu-vro -> vro (correct language code)
* no -> nb (for legacy Wikipedia reasons)
* roa-rup -> rup (correct language code)
* zh-classical -> lzh (correct language code)
* zh-min-nan -> nan (correct language code)
* zh-yue -> yue (correct language code)


Borderline cases, not sure which way these should redirect:
* hif-latn <-> hif (Wikipedia seems to only use Latin script)
* kbd-cyrl <-> kbd (Wikipedia seems to only use Cyrillic script)
* ku-latn <-> ku (Wikipedia seems to only use Latin script)
* tt-cyrl <-> tt (Wikipedia seems to only use Cyrillig script)


Not sure:
* crh / crh-latn / crh-cyrl: probably crh should redirect to crh-latn, or the
other way around. crhwiki seems to use Latin only.
* gan / gan-hans / gan-hant: some sort of automatic conversion should be made
available on Wikidata, as with other languages written in Han script(s)
* kk / kk-arab / kk-cyrl / kk-latn / kk-cn / kk-kz / kk-tr: the Wikipedia has
automatic conversion (from Latin?), should be made available on Wikidata.
* ks / ks-arab / ks-deva: ks should probably redirect to ks-arab, or the other
way around. kswiki seems to use Arabic only. Probably no automatic conversion
available.
* ruq / ruq-cyrl / ruq-latn: maybe ruq should be disabled and only ruq-cyrl and
ruq-latn accepted as inputs?
* shi / shi-tfng / shi-latn: don't know which one is more common
* sr / sr-ec / sr-el: same as above
* tg / tg-cyrl / tg-latn: automatic conversion?
* zh and variants (except those mentioned earlier): automatic conversion exists
on Wikipedia, should be reuseable on Wikidata

In most of these "Not sure" cases, the main language code should probably be
disabled, and input should be specifically in either of the two/more variants,
though the presence of automatic conversion for some may make things a bit more
complicated.
