Description:
Dear Administrator,

I have an account in Taiwanese/Holo Wikipedia
(http://zh-min-nan.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%C3%A2u-ia%CC%8Dh) and I'm a sysop of
Taiwanese Wikisource. Formerly we've used the code "zh-min-nan", but now we're
in the ISO 639-3 (http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp?order=639_3&letter=n)
list, using its code "nan". We want to have our code more formally and briefly
and change it in to the new one, but we don't know how. Can you help us or tell
us what to do? I've asked User:Angela and User:Tim_Starling in Meta-Wiki, and
Angela suggest me to report here. Please help us! Thanks very much!

Version: unspecified
Severity: major

It has not suddenly become urgent. For the users, it has been urgent for a decade. The earlier comments show that the users who raised this issue were ignored. Because of this bug, the users have not been able to take advantage of some advances in software. For example, this link does not go to the correct mobile version: https://nan.m.wikipedia.org/ cf. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/

The bug should be assigned to someone who has the knowledge and system access to make the correct changes, so this can actually be fixed.

It would help if it can be explained what is blocking the issue and who to contact to solve the problem.

If you prefer to dig into the history of Cantonese Wikipedia, I can give you some brief information.
The proposal of Cantonese Wikipedia started from 2004 and was finally approved at the end of 2006. At that time, the code of Cantonese was "zh-yue" under the proposal of ISO-639. This code pre-dated the final standard, ISO 639-3:2007, which gave the code "yue" to Cantonese. When "yue" became final and we requested for code change in align with ISO 639-3:2007. This kind of discrepancy causes many requests for language code change on various wikipedias.

ISO 639-3:2007 was published by ISO on 1st February 2007 which was after the creation of Cantonese wikipedia. And it is three letter code standard for languages. It was known as DIS/ISO 639-3 which was under-development between 2002 and 2007. The original suggestion was with a prefix "zh" of ISO 639-1/2 for the family of Chinese languages. Cantonese is not the only case, so as Hokkienese.

There were a lot of debates and changes during the formation of DIS/ISO 639-3. You might notice some old codes like roa-rup and bat-smg in some old wikipedias. This was the consensus for the wikipedia community at that time.

Say, roa-rup is Aromanian language (rup) of Romanic languages (roa), and bat-smg, Samogitian language (smg) of Baltic languages (bat) at that time.

There's not been any change in ISO 639-3 about "yue" simply because it was part of its first release and no change occured after that. The page about changes does not contain anything for major releases.

"yue" was also immediately added to the IANA registry of language subtags. There was a RFC published detailing the long list of ~7000 codes added (and why not all ISO 639-3 were added) with the new release of BCP47 (which also included new detailed rules about language subtags syntax and use, and another RFC detailing the process for adding new subtags.) The RFCs for BCP47 also included updates for ISO 15924 script codes (partially included in BCP47), and how legacy codes were aliased with prefered codes.

So in summary you are not looking at the right page. For our purpose all is explained in the RFCs for BCP 47. Just look into the IANA registry and you'll find "yue". You cannot just look at ISO 639 announcements, they are only a part of the history.

None; the code bat-smg was used because Samogitian didn't have a language code, hence the use of the Baltic languages code "bat" with an extension. Samogitian has since gotten the code "sgs".

This is so freaking stupid.

The issues would have been long gone if in 2006 the old sites' data were copypasted to the new sites and then the old sites were shut down. Now the wikis have grown exponentially with millions more edits and pages.

From the site contributors' perspective, it remains a valid proposal to
lock the sites temporarily (with advance announcement), copy the entire
database, repoint the domain names and interwiki prefixes, then resume
editing.
