- Comment somehow the existing Wikimedia language code has too many different uses to be allow to combine it on WQS with other things.

- Oppose I see Wikimedia language code (P424) only be used on items about languages and on Wikimedia projects. I don't think that are too many different uses. --Pasleim (talk) 13:01, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- There are currently two problems:
- P424 is used on items describing a given language and to describe the language used by a specific item (e.g. projects, pages, etc.). This could be simplified by splitting this into two properties.
- According to WMDE devs, monolingual codes at Wikidata are meant to be disconnected from Wikimedia codes. So codes derived from LANG() are not P424 codes.
- We could solve this also by including a lookup directly in WQS ..
--- Jura 13:10, 5 August 2016 (UTC) - Oppose We have to wait until WMDE devs decide which system to use. Instead of using a in-house system a standard ISO system can be used. Snipre (talk) 14:00, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
