Currently for oldwikisource one needs to use the syntax
... -lang:- ...
which is not obvious. With there having been a change to WMF configuration of oldwikisource to mul.wikisource it would seem reasonable to have an alias (or similar) to be able to use the syntax
... -lang:mul ...

Looks like I need some help.
-lang: is a global argument, so I guess I need to look at how it is added into user_config.py.
Is generate_user_files.py the only place to add the necessary code (so that the alias is reflected in the user_config.py) or am I missing something here?
No, it should be reflected somewhere in the wikisource family file, where 'mul' should be an alias for '-'. I'm not entirely sure if this is supported yet -- if not, it also needs some code added in family.py to handle aliases (but in that case the tag 'easy' shouldn't have been applied)
I'm placing this up for grabs till I'm done with the tasks I've taken up for GSoC '16.
If no one claims or resolved this by then, I'd be glad to take it up again. :D
