From: "Eric Kow" <bc4dyjp02-O/[email protected]> > it > fr > de > en To be fair why not switch them but have it.wikipedia.org point to a subdomain of wikipedia.org with Italian's 3 letter ISO code... and do the same for all two letter language codes, just point them to a three letter code. This way people can still access those domains, and the redirection is automatic. It I want to get to the German wiki and de.wikipedia.org redirects me, I'm still getting there. So why not? If it would alleviate the trouble with the confusion of country codes vs. language codes it seems like a reasonable solution. But I'd think it would have to be for all languages, with redirection when necessary. w/ regards, Jay B.
