[Story] Improve the set of language codes available for monolingual text values
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

For monolingual text values, we currently support the language codes known to MediaWiki (416 language codes on 2015-01-26) plus 4 special ISO 639-2 codes (und, mis, mul, zxx).

As a user, I want to:

  • Be able to look at no longer valid data (language code was in use previously but has been removed since)
  • Neither see nor be able to use bad language codes while editing
  • Be able to use all the language codes I need and be able to easily request missing language codes
