We got rid of the telephone code system because various mappers in the community kept trying to impose their vision of a telephone code system upon the world instead of letting the community choose the codes organically, which created conflict.  If we can do better this time, I think we'll be more successful at maintaining this list. The one condition I think we need to keep is the three-digit requirement so that there are enough codes to allocate around the world.  Otherwise, we could do two-digit with shared codes between countries.

ForumsGlobal and regional issues → Global and regional issues/Worldwide Calling Codes' Scheme


This is how phone codes looked like before Wiki 1.0 shutdown. I am certain about +1..+5, +6..+9 may've been misaligned.

This is my sketch of how I remember the calling codes' assignment listed on Wiki 1.0.

Some countries on OGF Data spreadsheet kept the old code while some other countries came up with the new one.

I do understand that keeping this thing standard for everyone will end up in a failure, but hey, it worked pretty well before Wiki 1.0 ceasing, so at least we can try.

I prefer this proposal over others. Many countries in West Uletha already have +2x(x) as their phone codes. -- Mie (talk) 08:19, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
I also think we should keep the old system. It's simple and intuitive so it's possible to work. Also there is no reason to change. --Rustem Pasha (talk) 09:42, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
