These two languages are being merged as the rest of Chinese topolects per Wiktionary:Votes/pl-2014-04/Unified Chinese into one L2 "Chinese" - PoS are added if there is a pronunciation for a given topolect. The reconstructed pronunciations will be updated from a reliable source and existing transliterations removed but there will be no PoS categories for them, which are applicable to modern Chinese topolects in the modern classification. See 人 (rén) for example (expand "Pronunciation" section to see Middle Chinese, Old Chinese pronunciations). As a result, Category:Middle Chinese language (ltc) and Category:Old Chinese language (och) will have to go or be moved to appendices. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 02:21, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
- @Atitarev, there are still a lot of entries in these categories; do they still need to be moved? (I'm not rushing you to move them, I'm just curious — if they don't still need to be moved, this RFM could be closed.) - -sche (discuss) 03:06, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- @-sche. No, they don't need to be deleted. All Middle Chinese and Old Chinese terms are housed under "Chinese" L2 header, just like Cantonese, Min Nan, etc. but they don't have PoS info. I have just deleted empty subcategories. The promise to retain topolect, Middle Chinese and Old Chinese categories was kept. People can still find all these categories as before the merger with a huge improvement in qualities and quantities. Thanks to all Chinese editors. --Anatoli T.
