Talk:Ilocano language

message: I am not here to advocate for anything except consistency.
There are language naming inconsistencies between this article, categories, templates and MediaWiki:
*Wikipedia has the article Ilocano language (with redirects from Ilocan language, Ilokan language, Ilokano language, Iloko, Iloko language, Iluko, ISO 639:ilo).  There has been previous discussion regarding the article name; see (see .
**categorized in , , and 
*the en.wiki article identifies ISO 639-2 and ISO 639-3 language codes in the infobox: ilo
**ISO 639-2 ilo refers to the language name 'Iloko' (the English name) and 'ilocano' (lower case; the French name)
**ISO 639-3 ilo refers to the language name 'Iloko'
**IANA language-subtag-registry file ilo refers to the language name 'Iloko'
*MediaWiki language support returns the name 'Iloko'
** → 
*MediaWiki uses the name 'Ilokano' to refer to ilo.wiki (see List of Wikipedias)
*templates:
** →  (deprecated; to be replaced with  – see TfD)
**:categorizes to  – calls  – spelling difference: 'c' not 'k'
** → 
**:categorizes to 
** →  (replaces )
**:categorizes to 
** →  (has a tool tip that reads: 'Ilokano language text')
**:categorizes to 
** → 
**:categorizes to Category:Articles containing Ilokano-language text
**the cs1|2 template suite using , , , or :
*** → 
***:categorized in 
*** → 
***:categorized in Category:CS1 foreign language sources (ISO 639-2)
*** → 
***:categorized in 
*** → 
***:categorized in Category:CS1 maint: unrecognized language‎
Of the above, we can do nothing about MediaWiki.  For the others, we can standardize on one of 'Iloko', 'Ilocano', or 'Ilokano' and modify the templates, categories, and article as necessary.
*, , , , and  all rely on Module:Lang which overrides the IANA / ISO 639 code-to-name definition (Iloko) in Module:Language/data/wp languages (Ilokano) – the provenance of that module is unknown
**if 'Iloko' is the preferred language name, Module:lang/data is modified to override IANA / ISO 639 / Module:Language/data/wp languages code-to-name definitions
**if 'Ilocano' is the preferred language name, Module:lang/data is modified to override IANA / ISO 639 / Module:Language/data/wp languages code-to-name definitions
**if 'Ilokano' is the preferred language name, there are no modifications of the Module:Lang suite
**regardless of preferred name, , though deprecated, is modified to remove  as redundant or wrong
**category names may change to match the preferred language name
*the cs1|2 template suite relies on the MediaWiki language name table.  However, cs1|2 is capable of overriding MediaWiki code-to-name definitions
**if 'Iloko' is the preferred language name, no action is required
**if 'Ilocano' is the preferred language name, Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration is modified to override the MediaWiki code-to-name definition
**if 'Ilokano' is the preferred language name, Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration is modified to override the MediaWiki code-to-name definition
Consistency matters.  Article name should match category names should match template renderings.  So the question is:
*which language name: 'Iloko', 'Ilocano', or 'Ilokano'?

replies: text: For consistency for this language version of Wikipedia, Ilocano should be used per WP:COMMONNAME (see Ngrams). Module:lang/data should be modified to override IANA / ISO 639 / Module:Language/data/wp languages code-to-name definitions and Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration should be modified to override the MediaWiki code-to-name definition.--Lam-ang (talk) 20:27, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
