Mbo langues lead to the disambiguation page

Noticed that the mbo langues lead to the disambiguation page:

{{ISO 639 name|mbo|link=yes}} → Mbo - this is for Mbo language (Cameroon)
{{ISO 639 name|zmw|link=yes}} → Mbo - this is for Mbo language (Congo)

Template broken (2024)

Template looks like it's broken. It's giving the following as an output: Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Language/data/ISO 639 deprecated' not found. HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 14:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two suggestions

Hi, is it possible to add two features?

a link to Mozambican Portuguese and other variants of that language;
a shortcut to {{ISO 639 name link}}

Thanks.-- Carnby (talk) 20:12, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ISO 639 does not recognize Mozambican Portuguese. Not in ISO 639? not going to be added to a template specifically for ISO 639 recognized languages.

If you want to create a shortcut (did you mean a redirect?) to {{ISO 639 name link}}, go ahead.

I've just discovered {{Llink}}, seems to be fine. Thanks anyway.-- Carnby (talk) 05:15, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
