From my point of view, both use cases are very different. In monolingual text values, we have to model some part of reality, so we have to be flexible enough to support everything reality throws at us. For example, if the official name of some organization is defined to be in `no`, we have to accept that value. On the other hand, for terms we do something on our own, and we can decide which language codes we want to use for which language. So I would expect monolingual text value to be much more permissive than terms. > I remembered some more invalid codes: `de-formal`, `nl-informal` and > `simple`.

We just removed them in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T125063. > By the way, language names are not always localised (e.g. in English `nl` > shows up as "Dutch" but `nl-informal` shows up as "Nederlands (informeel)"), > is that a bug or do they need translating somewhere? (and if so, where?) That needs to be translated in file `LocalNames/LocalNamesEn.php` in the CLDR extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CLDR>.
