Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

Go to a page that uses the internationalization template https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:VN, such as https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mangifera_indica#Vernacular_names
View the entry for language code <code>spv</code>

What happens?/What should have happened instead?:
The <code>spv</code> entry begins with "spv", rather than the local language for itself, which is "ସମ୍ବଲପୁରୀ". Per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words#Localization_functions and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CLDR, the CLDR directory needs to be updated (current version is 47: https://cldr.unicode.org/downloads/cldr-47).

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
1.44.0-wmf.25: https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Version

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

This was merged yesterday in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/cldr/+/1134673. It should be deployed to Wikispecies on May 7.

Ah, what timing. Please feel free to close if you feel like this is redundant. Thanks.

This does not appear to have been fixed in that patch. Nor am I seeing the "SPV" language code in CLDR anywhere obvious.

Indeed, spv is neither part of CLDR nor of the LocalNamesXx.php part. Therefore the title of this task is misleading. i will change it and claim the task.

We need clarity as to the proper channel for requesting the addition of languages, when needed on Wikispecies, so that they can be added in a timely manner.

It seems that, after almost four years, we still don't share such clarity.

Can somebody please provide a simple, plain-text guide to what needs to be done the next time a new language is requested for this use-case?
