 | This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories.
This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set. |
This category is added manually. It is used when an article cites an ISO change request rather than the resulting Ethnologue article in the "ref" field of the language info box. The cited information is usually the speaker population, but potentially may be the extinction date.
This category can be repopulated by scanning the articles in Category:ISO language articles citing sources other than Ethnologue for "sil.org" in the ref field. (There are a few references to sil.org addresses other than ISO change requests that are not included here.)
A change request may be cited because:
- An Ethnologue article had not yet been created when the population figure was added to our article, and we should cite Ethnologue directly once an article is created. (Occasionally the article will be at Linguist List, e.g. for long-extinct or constructed languages.)
- The request was denied by ISO, but nonetheless contains information worth citing.
- Ethnologue got the information wrong, such as mistaking the ethnic population for the speaker population, or does not provide all of the information, such as giving only one number for the population when the request being cited provides a range.
