[15:47:56] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> Hallo
[15:48:00] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> Why is https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/services/function-schemata/+/889811/ needed?
[15:48:27] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> Can't this information be taken from core MediaWiki?
[15:48:55] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> I'll be quite unhappy about YET ANOTHER place in the MediaWiki universe to store language codes and names.
[15:49:02] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> We already have way too many of them.
[15:51:51] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> If this is REALLY necessary, I'll add this to the language adding guide, which I've been writing, but I'd be happier to have fewer places to store such info, not more.
[15:52:16] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> (I refer to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Amire80/Add_a_language . Not "officially" published yet, but mostly ready.)
[17:50:47] <wm-bb>	 <vrandecic> We need to map to a ZID, that's why we have that
[17:52:08] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> Can't it be automatically generated? Does it have to be stored separately?
[17:52:51] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> If there's no choice, I guess I'll have to add it to the language adding procedure.
[17:54:46] <wm-bb>	 <vrandecic> Maybe, but we didn't yet figure out how, that fulfilled our requirements. The current approach seems the simplest for now.
[17:55:15] <wm-bb>	 <vrandecic> You want to file a task?
[17:55:52] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> OK.
[17:58:19] <wm-bb>	 <vrandecic> Thank you!
[20:18:35] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> Oh, now that I look at it again, I see something odd...
[20:18:36] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/services/function-schemata/+/refs/heads/master/data/definitions/Z1272.json
[20:18:59] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> This is Croatian. It says `"Z11K2": "Croatian"` and then `"Z11K2": "hrvatski"`.
[20:19:09] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> Does it mean that it needs both the English name and the autonym?
[20:19:31] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> There's something similar in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/services/function-schemata/+/refs/heads/master/data/definitions/Z1005.json for Russian.
[20:19:49] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> But for Kusaal, it says "Kusaal" in both places: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/services/function-schemata/+/refs/heads/master/data/definitions/Z1883.json
[20:19:54] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> The native name is different.
[20:20:58] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> And for https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/services/function-schemata/+/refs/heads/master/data/definitions/Z1680.json , it only has one name, which is one of the valid names of this language in English (there are other variants and it's not totally stable).
[20:21:12] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> So what is the _correct_ thing to do, at least now?
[20:23:22] <wm-bb>	 <Nikki> I don't think there has to be a specific number of names. the ones which have `"Z11K1": "Z1002"` are english, the ones where `Z11K1` has a value the same as the filename are autonyms, and I assume there could be names in other languages too, with different zids
