Template talk:bs

As far as I can tell, we only keep these around because they're not unused and for linking to the Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian Wikipedias. Both of these are eminently solvable. See Category talk:Bosnian language for some background (there's a lot more background than that if you look hard enough, the debate predates my presence on Wiktionary).

 * I'm OK with this. the templates could be converted to redirects to . Otherwise, the new translations into bs, hr, sr, will keep coming. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 00:45, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Template redirects don't work for language codes, though. But the translation adder can be made to automatically substitute one code for another, so that when users type any of those codes, it is automatically changed to sh. 00:47, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh and for the record, if the consensus and current practice is to treat these as one language, and we always merge them whenever they do crop up, I see no reason to keep these codes. However, we may want to creation protect them, you never know who will disagree... 23:24, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, finish up with the merger already. Oh, and any s or s that call these templates ought to be dealt with as well. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:15, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * What about the Babel templates though? Are we going to force people to state they speak Serbo-Croatian? 02:18, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I suppose those might be helpful, but we don't let users specify a dialect of English (well, except for me). If necessary, I'd rather we directly modify etc than keep these templates. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:22, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * It seems that if you subst the template inside, it leaves only a single transclusion of , and a rather inconspicuous one at that. So it should be easy to do.  02:33, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Instead of modifying, I have removed the single language template transclusion from . So we can now safely remove any language template without worrying about that. 02:41, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * now recognizes bs, hr and sr to be Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:47, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * still uses the old codes, as on Zagreb. 19:22, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, but it can; that's what does. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:35, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
