Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing.

This is a crude tool that reads a local copy of an IANA language-subtag-registry file and extracts the information necessary to create the data tables held by:

The tool skips records that contain the words: 'Deprecated', 'Preferred-Value', and 'Private use'.

At this writing, the tool extracts only the subtag code and description(s) from language, script, region, and variant records.

There is some crude error checking that will insert an error message in the output. No guarantees that such messaging will be helpful. Search for the word 'error' in the tool's output.
