Missing language codes for Kurdish varieties
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

We are using a wikibase.cloud instance for Kurdish lexicographical data (final goal after curation process on that Wikibase: transfer to Wikidata, where the same issue applies), and we are having some issues with the following language codes which are currently nonexistent, but are used in our source data:

Although the ku language code is defined for Kurdish, and ku-latn and ku-arab also exist, the representation of its varieties is not possible (hac and kmr don't exist at all). In other cases, the script-defining versions are missing.

Thanks.

Event Timeline

We have now uploaded lexemes of the above described Kurdish varieties to a Wikibase instance, using ku-arab / ku-latn in all cases, while the above listed variety codes are used in the source. When transferring that data to Wikidata, we would like to use the corresponding variety code.

These are available for lexemes and monolingual text on Wikidata now, but don't seem to be available on wikibase.cloud wikis yet. I don't know when/how often those are updated.

Should be resolved when we update to MW 1.43

I think this now works; perhaps someone else should double check:

Is this now working for you @Sina.recherche ?
