Module:Language/data/ISO 639-3/doc

This is the documentation page for Module:Language/data/ISO 639-3

This template is used on 639000 pages.
To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes should first be tested in this template's /sandbox or/testcases subpage, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this template. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This module contains data taken directly from a local copy of an iso-639-3_Name_Index_YYYYMMDD.tab file from sil.org.

The table in this module was created using Module:Language/data/ISO 639-3/make. There should be no need to hand edit this table, so please do not do so except to reflect changes that are actually present in the source (in which case it is probably better to re-run the extraction tool on a new data file).

Hint: to avoid browsers interfering with how UTF-8 characters are rendered, consider downloading the zip file of the complete set of tables. Extract iso-639-3_Name_Index_YYYYMMDD.tab (where YYYYMMDD is the date of the release) to your local machine and open that file with a good text editor (Notepad++ has worked well for this).
