            Bug ID: 49274
           Summary: zh-hk, zh-cn, ... should be changed to zh-hant-hk,
                    zh-hans-cn, ...
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General/Unknown

zh-hk => zh-hant-hk, zh-tw => zh-hant-tw, zh-cn => zh-hans-cn, zh-mo =>
zh-hant-mo , zh-sg => zh-hans-sg, zh-my => zh-hans-my

That's what the 6 language tags precisely mean and actually how they are used
(for instance, only Hong Kong Chinese in hant script will be store in zh-hk).
In fact zh-hk, zh-tw,  zh-cn, zh-mo, zh-sg, zh-my are very confusing for some
Chinese and quite a few non-Chinese. These 6 language tags also complex the
fallback rules(need another fallback table like zh-hk => zh-hant , zh-cn =>
zh-hans, zh-tw => zh-hant... ). And  they are not assigned by IANA but
zh-hant-hk, zh-hant-tw ... are. User:Stevenliuyi find this table.
