Description

The Norwegian Wiktionary, Wikibooks, and Wikinews accept both Bokmål and Nynorsk (unlike Wikipedia and Wikiquote), so it should be listed as just 'Norsk' instead

Wiktionary: https://no.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Om_norsk
(no) Man står fritt til å bruke hvilken målform man vil når man skriver – ingen preferanse for bokmål/riksmål over nynorsk
(en) You are free to use whatever target form you want when you write – no preference for Bokmål/Riksmål over Nynorsk

Wikibooks: https://no.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibøker:Språkform
(no) Norsk Wikibøker bruker alle de norske språkene. Det betyr at man kan her skrive på riksmål, moderat eller radikalt bokmål, eller på nynorsk.
(en) Norwegian Wikibooks use all the Norwegian languages. This means that you can write here in Riksmål, moderate or radical Bokmål, or in Nynorsk.

Wikinews: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wn/nn
All Wikinews in Norwegian has been incorporated into a single project, and then soft closed.

Thanks for filing this, Nintendofan! Several times I've actually looked at the portal code to just submit a patch to fix it (but found it was too complicated), but then never filed a task to fix it either.

So, as a Norwegian I'd just like to confirm that what the task is asking for is indeed correct.
