Change Details

**Author:** `Wiki.Melancholie` **Description:** Since October 2005 there is a ISO 639-2 code for the alemannic language (~"Swiss German"); [gsw]. See: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/codechanges.html Thus, there could be changed [xml:lang="gem-alsatian"] to [xml:lang="gsw"], and [lang="gem-alsatian"] to [lang="gsw"] in the html line: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="gem- alsatian" lang="gem-alsatian" dir="ltr"> Best regards, Melancholie -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: minor **URL**: http://als.wikipedia.org/ ---- Wikis waiting to be renamed (from T25215 merged here): *(NOTE:) This task was also mentioning that other Alemannic projects should als.wikipedia.org -> gsw.wikipedia.org * also be renamed, for example https://als.wiktionary.org -> gswto https://gsw.wiktionary.org (deletion also proposed in T169450, with redirect to a new "Wort:" namespace in gsw.wikipedia.org instead?) * als.wikibooks.org -> gsw.wikibooks.org (deletion also proposed in T169450however and unfortunatelly, with redirect to a new "Buech:" namespace in gsw.wikipedia.org instead?) * als.wikiquote.org -> gsw.wikiquote.org (deletion also proposed in T169450those wikis are nowadays deleted (see T169450), with redirect to a new "Spruch:" namespace in gsw.so this task would only focus on alswikipedia.org instead?) renaming. ---- "als" is also the standard code for "Tosk Albanian", a variant of standard Albanian ("sq"), not distinguished in Wikimedia wiki project names, but that may be distinguished in localisation data (e.g. on Wikidata, or on partner projects like OpenStreetMap, or other opensource applications for various platforms and open data projects). Using "als" instead of "gsw" blocks the specialisation of localized data for Albanian varieties, and breaks the standard BCP47 fallback resolution rules, in projects that would expect a normal fallback to standard Albanian, and certainly not to any varieties of German.
