The "als" code stands for Tosk Albanian, not the Albanian language as a whole.
The Standard Albanian Wikipedia already has an an edition under "sq". Since
there is currently no request for a Tosk Wikipedia, there is no urgent need to
move. When someone makes a viable request for Tosk, or when ISO get's their
codes for Alemannic straightened out, we can move.

By the way: redirecting from "als" to "sq" as you guys are proposing wouldn't
be right; Standard Albanian is based on Tosk, but still contains many Gheg
variants (e.g. "katund" alonside "fshat", constructions like "do me thonë"
etc), which are in fact becoming more and more numerous as writers from Kosovo
are having more and more of a say in what Standard Albanian should be like.
