--- Comment #12 from Candalua <lacrymarum.va...@gmail.com> 2011-11-08 11:12:29 UTC --- (In reply to comment #11) Exactly, Roan. Thanks for your explanation. That's the problem we're trying to solve. But also, note that not necessarily all pages on oldwikisource correspond to a language code. We could have pages in ancient languages that do not even have a language code, or contructed languages, or written in a mix of two or more languages. (Wikisource is different from Wikipedia, that does not accept content that hasn't got a language code. In Wikisource you can put every published text in public domain, no matter in which language.) In short words, all that doesn't clearly belong to a Wikisource existing language code, goes to Old Wikisource, which is (in my opinion) a poorly chosen name for what should actually be called Multilingual Wikisource. What we would need is some "fake" language code to group everything that hasn't got (yet) a language code. If 'oldwikisource' cannot be used as language code, can we use something like 'mul'? On http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/scope.asp#S they say: "ISO 639-2 defines three code elements for other special situations. The identifier [mul] (multiple languages) should be applied when many languages are used and it is not practical to specify all the appropriate language codes." -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
