TASK DESCRIPTION We no longer have any projects in Moldovan, but it can still be translated at https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Portal:Mo and is still included as a language in MediaWiki (see Names.php <https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/master/includes/languages/data/Names.php#L318>) using the language code `mo`. In the language subtag registry <https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry>, both `ro` and `mo` have "Suppress-Script: Latn", which means that is the "script used to write the overwhelming majority of documents for the given language" (RFC 5646 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5646.html#section-3.1.9>). MediaWiki, on the other hand, thinks `mo` is written in Cyrillic. That is inconsistent with how the language tags are actually defined and in Wikidata and Commons, people are mostly using `mo` for Latin script text. Therefore: The language tag should include `cyrl`. That could be `mo-cyrl`, but since `ro` is preferred over `mo`, `ro-md-cyrl` would be better. The English name should include "(Cyrillic script)", and likewise for other translated versions of the name. Probably incomplete list of things that should happen in order to migrate it (in no particular order): - Move the translations on Translatewiki - Move on-wiki translations (on Commons <https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?profile=all&search=inlanguage%3Amo>, Meta-Wiki <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?profile=all&search=inlanguage%3Amo>, etc - there might also be some pages where the page language was set manually that need updating) - Move Wikidata labels/aliases (search <https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?search=haslabel%3Amo&ns0=1>), descriptions (search <https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?search=hasdescription%3Amo&ns0=1>), monolingual text statements and lexemes that currently use `mo` to a different code. - Move Commons captions (search <https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=hascaption%3Amo&ns6=1>) and monolingual text statements that currently use `mo` to a different code. - Update LocalNamesEn.php <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/cldr/+/master/LocalNames/LocalNamesEn.php> (and any others which include `mo`) to add the new code and add "(Cyrillic script)" to the name. - Update langdb.yaml <https://github.com/wikimedia/language-data/blob/master/data/langdb.yaml> to add the new code and a redirect from the old code.
