TASK DESCRIPTION Add details about "language names" to the #language_codes <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/language_codes/> project page <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/4981/>: where to define, how to update. Below a draft of information to add. Please help complete it. ----- Language names -------------- As a code is assigned for language, this can't be done without specifying its name: autonym and/or English name. Further, Wikidata makes use of a names of all languages in every other language. Many of the later are primarily used by (and regularly displayed on) Wikidata. So the lack of such names and inconsistent naming may only surface there. Generally a language name would be consistent with the title of the article in the Wikipedia of the relevant language and the label of the Wikidata item. Sample: - the language with the code "it" has its English Wikipedia article at "Italian_language" <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language> - and the English label of the Wikidata item about the language is "Italian" <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q652?uselang=en>. - Accordingly, the name "Italian" would be consistent in English. This is what {{#language:it|en}} displays in Wikimedia websites and this is what appears in Wikidata termbox before Italian labels when viewed in English. Help:Wikimedia_language_codes/lists/all <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Wikimedia_language_codes/lists/all> has summary of names in English and French, both from Wikidata labels and the {{#language}} function. As language codes are defined in several places, the same goes for language names: - .. If a language name should be added or corrected, please create a ticket referencing the relevant Wikidata item.
