I just came across a post-it note I wrote for myself to remind me that this should be done at some point, but it's small enough not to really matter and big enough to be a pain, so I'm putting it here so that it doesn't get completely forgotten.

Using "language" and "lang" in Wiktextract and Wikitextprocessor is a bit confusing, because it can mean two things: The Wiktextract data's language we are looking at (an entry under ===Franco-Provençal===), or the specific Wiktionary or Wikipedia project that data comes from (en.wiktionary.org, zh.wiktionary.org).

We also have things like (simple.wikipedia.org), which indicates there could also be other prefixes that are less "lang"-ish (not that simple English isn't 'lang'-ish...) and more specialized, or just not have anything specific to do with the language the project is written in.

Tatu said he'd want these references changed to "edition" at some point to minimize confusion, which is a perfect name for this.
