Add monolingual language code WLS (Wallisian)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Please add the language code wls to the list of language codes supported for monolingual text values.

English name : Wallisian (Wikidata: Q36979), native name : ''faka'uvea'', uses latin alphabet

Usage example: Wallisian is used by 20 000+ people in Wallis island and in New Caledonia. The language code is already in use on Wikipedia, but not on Wikidata neither on Wikimedia Commons, where it would be useful (native names of institutions, translations and description of items...). There is a also a Wikipedia incubator in Wallisian. I speak a little Wallisian and I plan on using it on Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons.

Thank you !

Hello, thanks for closing this task, but unfortunately I cannot add wallisian as a language on Wikidata properties (such as Q45025080 "native label"). Can you fix this ? thank you :)

It does work: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q4115189&diff=1101590133&oldid=1101239291
The suggestor doesn't show the language, but if you fill in wls you can add a claim with Wallisian as a language.

Alright, I need to type wls and not Wallisian... thanks for the answer :)
