Event Timeline

Aklapper changed the subtype of this task from "Task" to "Feature Request".

@Pigsonthewing: Thanks for reporting this. For future reference, please use the feature request form (linked from the top of the task creation page) to create feature requests. Assuming this is about MediaWiki-Internationalization.

I used the same process here as used on T261387 and T277505

I wrote on the latter (still unresolved, just one week short of its first birthday!). "I was given to understand that the correct process was to raise a ticket such as this. There are likely to be further requests of this nature in future." and received the response "It is."

Adding it to CLDR only affects the translation functionality (i.e. when you explicitly provide a language code), so {{#language:hts|en}} and {{#language:hts|hts}} work now, but {{#language:hts}} doesn't.

If you want {{#language:hts}} to work on its own, as far as I can tell, it needs to either be in Names.php or the wmgExtraLanguageNames config variable for Wikispecies (related: T277505#7965893)
