eng.wikipedia.org is for english, not for mongolian...
In the case of zh, this should be cmn (chinese mandarin, not zh). zh (that can means zhongwen, zhonghua, etc...) include all chineses languages, As in mongolian, there are several meaning, (languages of china (which include among other mongolian (oirat, std mongolian and dialects, hanyu, a submacrolanguage spoken mainly by Han nationality, including standard mandarin, mandarin dialects, cantonese (yue), shanghaiese (wu (wuu)), minnan (taiwanese, chaoshan...), mindong, hokkien, etc... that are really different languages, and zh, should be banned, but that's the standard for standard mandarin).
if mn-Mong is divided in khk (for khalka dialect instead of standard khalkha mongolian) and mvf for the administratively divided mongolian dialects, then words that are pronounced with local dialects, but wrote the same way, will have two entries each time. The same way english/american/australian english should have separated entity (centre/theatre in english english, center/theater in american english for example. so en, should be banned too...
So can mn be renamed khk and can we have a khk-Mong and a mvf-Mong (that is a non-sense in term of writing) ? You can create both if you have any clue that there are case of different writing for the same word, but mn-Mong should work for most words, as shown every dictionaries matching.
current mn, should at least be renamed mn-Cyrl or khk-Cyrl, as that's only one of the two standard khalkha script in outer mongolia, mn-Mong is also accepted as standard in Mongolia since 1992.
Until issue is resolved for english/chinese/... mn- should be accepted for standard mongolian and subdialects... If you don't agree, please create at least khk-Mong and mvf-Mong, I will put both in every cases, I can verify easily with my dictionaries, that's all...
