Template-protected edit request on 4 May 2025

Change "Sorani Kurdish" to "Central Kurdish" per the main article title and standard linguistic usage. "Central Kurdish" is more accurate and consistent. Similarly, If it's possible, change "Kurmanji Kurdish" to "Northern Kurdish". Zemen (talk) 22:39, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorani Kurdish is a redirect to Central Kurdish so it makes sense to support that part of the edit request. However, Kurmanji Kurdish is an article in its own right so changing it to point to the redirect Northern Kurdish does not make sense.

Please, these names are local and dialect names, not language group names. Even Central Kurdish wiki is not called Sorani wiki. We're trying to create a consistent format for this mixed variety of the Kurdish language. Zemen (talk) 09:46, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How ckb.wiki chooses to name itself is not relevant to how this module refers to articles at en.wiki. I did write that there is some sense to retargeting ckb to Central Kurdish so we might proceed with that portion of the request.

We're trying to create a consistent format... Who is 'we'? Where are 'we' acting on that?

Apologies if my earlier statement was unclear. I mentioned ckb again because Central Kurdish is closely related to both Northern Kurdish and Southern Kurdish, forming the three primary interrelated branches of the Kurdish language. Kurdish language is generally classified into three main groups: Northern, Central, and Southern Kurdish; dialects such as Kurmanji, Sorani, and Laki fall under these categories. Since Sorani was updated to Central Kurdish, it makes sense to align the other names with this classification for consistency. Im also in the process of requesting that Kurmanji be moved to Northern Kurdish. When I say "We" I refer to myself and other Wikipedia contributors who have worked on updating the naming standards on the ckb wikipedia. To ensure consistency across Wikimedia projects, similar updates should be made elsewhere. Zemen (talk) 17:50, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
