--- Comment #49 from varnent <[email protected]> ---
As far as web domains goes, there isn't really any consistency at this point
with US entities (US-NYC is at nyc.wikimedia.org) - which is partly what we are
hoping to address this issue as I suspect there will be more US affiliates
popping up in the next few years.

The Pennsylvania wiki is closed, and I believe that yes, the URL has been wrong
all this time. It should have been US-PA to match the setup used on Meta and
all communication related to affiliates. However, that was also a relatively
early US proto-affiliate - so it's possible we either did not have a practice
for acronyms yet - or it was changed since then to better match ISO.

I think it would be more problematic to use one set of acronyms for the US
affiliates in documentation, and then have their website address use the
opposite setup. US-XYZ is the preferred format being used on-wiki - I think we
should stay consistent with that.

I suspect Pennsylvania wiki was locked for archive sake - but it seems unlikely
to me it will be used anytime soon (if ever again). It does not look like it
has been used since 2007 - so maybe it's worth taking offline or storing on
Meta or elsewhere?
