I am not sure where I am supposed to report this. 
Appreciate if you can tell me where to, if not here. 

Feature request? Wikitech-l? Or perhaps anyone of 
these is acceptable.

Anyhow, it was pointed out that interwiki links to minnan 
wikipedia does not work. Minnan is a dialect of chenese, 
and there may be no ISO language code.

According to 
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_list_of_language
_Wikipedias_available

the wikipedia is currently at minnan.wikipedia.org.

For an example of a non-working Minnan interlanguage link, see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._K._Rowling

Many other examples exist.

What is the correct localized name to display in the language
link list?

Currently interlanguage links to the minnan.wikipedia.org
site seem to work (I can't read Minnan) but are also being
displayed for everyone to see on their origin pages. The
"current events" page at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_events is one such
example. It seems the non-standard (longer than two letters)
language code is throwing things off.

The reason it doesn't show with the language links is that it's
not defined
in the language names table. Someone needs to decide what the 
appropriate name text should be so we can add it once and for
all.

As someone who doesn't understand the Minnan dialect, and so
who doesn't really have a right to make this decision, I
would like to propose "minnan" as the name text, since that
is what is used in the URL for the relevant Wikipedia (and
in fact is what is used in the interlanguage links as well).

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnan the 'native
name' is Blor Bl-ghe minnan Wikipedia
itself writes Blg we should use it:
