Somewhat heavily used in our appendices, but I can't fathom why. Isn't this the same thing as {{lx}}, but with slightly different parameter names? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:42, 30 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Not quite. {{lx}} and {{termx}} both have a serious shortcoming: they don't work for reconstructed terms in attested languages. We have {{recons}} as a counterpart to {{term}}, which solves this problem. But {{l}} has no such counterpart yet. I've been wanting to create it but I don't know what name to use. {{lr}} is still free, though. —CodeCat 15:41, 30 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
{{lr}} could potentially conflict with a future language code. --WikiTiki89 15:45, 30 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
I don't think any new two-letter codes are being created, are they? —Angr 15:53, 30 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
Right. I think a lot of the uses of {{apdx-l}} currently could be {{lx}} just as easily, but there might be a few that in fact ought to be {{lr}}. If you create {{lr}}, then we'll really have no reason to keep this. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 17:32, 30 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
I think using {{lr}} and {{recons}} is more desirable than {{lx}} and {{termx}} because the latter are a bit more complicated. —CodeCat 18:25, 30 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
Yes, new two-letter templates are still created, for languages that don't have any kind of code yet, like {{cg}} for Montenegrin. -- Liliana • 18:44, 30 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
I was referring to ISO 639 codes, not to Wiktionary templates. Of course {{lr}} can be used for whatever Wiktionarians want it to be used for, but I don't think lr will ever be an ISO 639-1 code, nor will cg. There hasn't been a new 2-letter ISO 639-1 code in almost 10 years, and I'm pretty sure they aren't assigning any new ones. —Angr 18:56, 30 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
That's what I was just talking about... They could request it, if they wanted. -- Liliana • 19:14, 30 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, I think. There are many potential ISO codes but not that many are actually used or are ever going to be used. —CodeCat 19:28, 30 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
If this is deleted, what would replace it on pages like Appendix:Pokémon items? —CodeCat 00:19, 23 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
