Manding languages
You're confusing Manding and Mandingo, it seems. Rua, you don't need to revert someone's good-faith work just because you don't know what's going on. We can just add it as a family.
I'm not going to make any statement regarding the correctness of the family, but the fact that we don't have it yet suggests it needs someone with better knowledge/discussion to look at it. That's why I deleted it. It shouldn't have a category until it has a valid code, obviously.
You're missing the point. You could have started a discussion instead of reverting and deleting something that was correct, just not implemented in the way it needed to be. The fact we didn't have it yet only suggests that not enough people are working on African languages.
That's why I suggested taking the matter to WT:GP, where it could be fixed. You're already here spewing at me before anyone even had a chance to do that.
