https://machinetranslate.org/creoles lists 1 language, Sango, but it's only their because Wikipedia lists it like that, even though it's immediate ancestor is a Niger-Congo (non-creole) language.
In fact, this code is meant for creole as an abstract concept, so if we use it, we should only use it as a catch-all for various creoles that may be totally unrelated.
There are roughly 2 possible solutions:
1. Remove it
2. Make crp
the ultimate parent of all creoles
Make them all under: https://machinetranslate.org/creoles
Then make the specific families like "English-based creoles" a subfamily of this primary one.
So we could create pages like:
- Niger-Congo based creoles (for Sango)
- Spanish-based creoles
- Dutch-based creoles
To do that, we need to be able to support families without codes.
