Remove most capital inconsistencies across languages and update guidelines #435
Conversation
English Wikipedia is now the source of truth of capitals (except for spelling/alternative names).
I think the sentence looks good in Spanish like that, thank you! However, maybe we should consider following other capital info formulations and write "While Podgorica is the official capital, Cetinje is the honorary capital". For me, it's strange showing an official capital in the capital field and talking about other capital without the usual context found in other cards. Should I open an issue instead of discussing this here? |
Yeah, might be easier 👍 |

This looks fantastic!
Other than two formatting nitpicks (we no longer have a composer index
to keep us on our toes...) and a suggested change to the Norwegian Kazakhstan capital info, I have nothing to add.
Pretoria was listed second, which was inconsistent with other languages and also with Dutch Wikipedia: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuid-Afrika
Interestingly, the capital info already had them in the "consistent" order.
Looks incredible! Thanks! |
SNL, the main translation source, has made the switch from Astana to Nursultan: https://snl.no/Kasakhstan
... to match order in other languages and on Dutch Wikipedia : https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuid-Afrika
SNL, now the main translation source, cites "Santiago de Chile" as the capital of Chile, and " Bogotá" as the capital of Colombia.
English Wikipedia leads the way.
As per new cross-language consistency guidelines. Note, however, that SNL (now the main translation source) lists only Funafuti as the capital, not Vaiaku.

Nice, thanks a lot! 🎣 |
Fix #416 - FYI, I'll open separate issues to deal with the remaining inconsistencies that I have decided not to fix in this PR, namely Sri Lanka, Kiribati, Northern Cyprus and European Union.
First off, I update the capital field guidelines as per #416 (comment), to make English Wikipedia the source of truth for capitals in all languages (except for spelling and alternative names, of course).
Then, I fix the following inconsistencies in separate commits:
[DE] Move alternative spelling of capital of Burkina Faso to capital info field
[ES] Remove honorary capital of Montenegro
[FR] Change capital of Palau
[NL] Re-order capitals of South Africa
[NB] Rename capital of Kazakhstan
[NB] Remove alternative name for capital of Finland
[NB] Remove parens in capitals of Chile and Colombia
[NB] Remove alternative capital of Tuvalu
