[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T137065: Language "norsk" ("no") added in the signature section, but only "nynorsk" ("nn") and "bokmål" ("nb") should be used

Verdy_p added a comment.

Wikipedia initially had a single edition for Bokmal and Nynorsk, using "no" for both. But the content was mostly in Bokmal, so "no" turned there to be an alias of "nb" (Bokmal), and "nn" was to be used for the other Nynorsk variant.
Could we simply make "no" and "nb" aliased in interwikis prefixes and domain names, as well as in translation resources of MediaWiki ?

Keeping "nn" separated and keeping a primary language fallback between no=nb and nn like these proposed fallback chains:

• no -> nb; nn; (others?); default(en)
• nb -> no; nn; (others?); default(en)
• nn -> no; nb; (others?); default(en)
