While I appreciate having discussion, I'd like to point out that the
*public* discussion on the issue you're reporting already exists:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-publicity/2012/03/msg00027.html

Next time, please check the mailing list first.
Don't want to sound rude, but what is the point in writing detailed mail
about changes done in the wiki/doc/webpages if even the members of the
team don't read it?

Wait, I don't understand what you're saying it. I mean, yeah, we're on
the Debian wiki, and the events there are all Debian related. So, why is
it a problem to call the page Debian Events? Redundant?

Correct. 
The re-organization of that page is in progress (as you can read in the
mail linked above, sent ~ 2 months ago :)).
I don't see any problem in changing this thing: it's a wiki, isn't it?
And you are part of the Events team, aren't you?
So, why not just s/countrycode/languagecode/ in the instructions, and
make the (past and future) events page consistent with this change?

Or if you want to discuss it why not replying on the relevant thread or
assuming you didn't noticed it, open a new one?

I could be horribly wrong, but I think that the BTS is not exactly the
preferred place to propose content changes for the wiki.


Thanks,

Francesca
