Language Code "kv"

Language Code "kv"

Is there a reason why you converted ambiguous, but harmless instances of "Komi" in Proto-Uralic descendents sections into fatally wrong {{l|kv}}? I was just going to change them all back, but I thought I'd check first.

They were labelled "Komi", so I used the code for Komi. I don't know what else to do, the entries didn't have any information to let me determine which kind of Komi.

You could have left them as text and added attention templates to get someone to fix them. At least that way, we wouldn't have a dozen+ entries with module errors while we're waiting for someone to figure out what to do.

Nobody ever checks the attention categories though, at least this worked?

It's > 98% safe to assume that any form labeled just "Komi" with no caveats is Komi-Zyrian. The terminology Komi = {Komi-Zyrian, Komi-Permyak} is something I've only ever seen on Wikimedia, most of the rest of the world operates on Komi sensu lato ("Komi-ic"?) = {Komi, Permyak}. Besides, the differences in the two standards are absolutely minimal, when it comes to inherited root words. (I'd probably do a general cleanup at some point anyway, once I get around to working on common Permic vocabulary, maybe some years down the line.)
