This is a tracking category for CS1 citations that use |language= where the assigned value is not recognized by MediaWiki. MediaWiki recognizes all of the ISO 639-1 two-character codes and some of the ISO 639-2 three-character codes, along with the full official names of the languages corresponding to those codes. See the list of supported codes / names.
MediaWiki is particular about language name spelling. For example, Northern Sámi should be spelled Northern Sami. MediaWiki does not recognize three-character codes when there is an equivalent two-character code: for Northern Sami, use code se instead of code sme. For recognized ISO 639-2 languages with multiple official names, MediaWiki recognizes only one. For example, code crh can refer to Crimean Tatar or Crimean Turkish; MediaWiki recognizes the latter.
MediaWiki does not recognize dialects and character sets (e.g. Simplified Chinese (a character set), British English (a dialect)).
Text that is not a recognized language code or name (e.g., the 'and' in |language=German and French) will add the article to this category because the citation module is looking for a single language name or code, or a comma-separated list of language names and/or codes; |language=German and French should be changed to |language=German, French, or to |language=de, fr.
Pages in this category should only be added by Module:Citation/CS1.
Pages with this condition are automatically placed in Category:CS1 maint: unrecognized language.[lower-alpha 1]
{{#lst:Help:CS1 errors|show_all_messages_help_text}} Although many (but not all) errors in the category can automatically be fixed by BattyBot, fixing your own errors is the best practice.
