Template broken (2024)
editTemplate looks like it's broken. It's giving the following as an output: Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Language/data/ISO 639 deprecated' not found. HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 14:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Two suggestions
editHi, is it possible to add two features?
- a link to Mozambican Portuguese and other variants of that language;
- a shortcut to {{ISO 639 name link}}
Thanks.-- Carnby (talk) 20:12, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- ISO 639 does not recognize Mozambican Portuguese. Not in ISO 639? not going to be added to a template specifically for ISO 639 recognized languages.
- If you want to create a shortcut (did you mean a redirect?) to
{{ISO 639 name link}}, go ahead. - —Trappist the monk (talk) 20:41, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- I've just discovered {{Llink}}, seems to be fine. Thanks anyway.-- Carnby (talk) 05:15, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Mono language issue
editThere is an issue with this language, see the following:
{{ISO 639 name|mnr}}→ Mono{{ISO 639 code|Mono}}→ error: Mono not found in ISO 639-1, -2, -2B, -3, -5 list (help)
Gonnym (talk) 13:45, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- You must tell the template which of the four you want. The name must be exactly as it is listed in the ISO 639 data modules (for a list of them, see Module:ISO 639 name § Data mapping):
{{ISO 639 code|Mono (Democratic Republic of Congo)}}→ mnh{{ISO 639 code|Mono (USA)}}→ mnr{{ISO 639 code|Mono (Cameroon)}}→ mru{{ISO 639 code|Mono (Solomon Islands)}}→ mte

- Ah, thanks for reminding me of this. Do you have any idea why
{{IPA|mnr|test}}gets the non-disambiguated name (Category:Pages with Mono IPA)? Gonnym (talk) 14:26, 27 October 2024 (UTC)- To get the language name, Module:IPA uses:
{{lang|fn=name_from_tag|mnr}}→ Mono (lines 65–72)
- Module:Lang always strips IANA/ISO disambiguators. Module:IPA might do better to fetch the name from Module:ISO 639 name using the
|raw=yesparameter:{{#invoke:ISO 639 name|iso_639_code_to_name|mnr|raw=yes}}→ Mono (USA)
- also available to the template:
{{ISO 639 name|mnr|raw=yes}}→ Mono (USA)
- —Trappist the monk (talk) 15:00, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- Is
_iso_639_code_to_name (frame)meant as a module entry point also? It currently doesn't work like_iso_639_name_to_code (args). Gonnym (talk) 15:29, 27 October 2024 (UTC)- Not clear to me why the code is written as it is. Usually, when I use an underscore-prefixed function name, that name (if exported) is for access from another module.
_iso_639_code_to_name (frame)is not exported and because it acceptsframeas a variable, would be a template access point. Mayhaps I got started on creating module access points and got side-tracked? Don't know, I'll give some thought to fixing that. - —Trappist the monk (talk) 16:43, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
