Wikipedia edition codes
Each Wikipedia has a code, which is used as a subdomain below wikipedia.org. Interlanguage links are sorted by that code.
The codes represent the language codes defined by ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-3, and the decision of which language code to use is usually determined by the Internet Engineering Task Force language tag policy.
One code is not a language code ('be-x-old') but refers to a specific orthography.
Some deviations include:
| WP code | WP edition name | ISO 639 code for this language | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| sq | Albanian | 'sq' is the ISO code for the Albanian macrolanguage, which includes four individual languages. | |
| als | Alemannic | 'gsw' for Swiss German, Alemannic German, and Alsatian; 'gct' for Colonia Tovar dialect; 'swg' for Swabian German, and 'wae' for Walser German | 'als' is actually the ISO code for Tosk Albanian.[2] |
