[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T126510: Allow adding arbitrary languages in the interface
Bene added a comment. There should be an empty language input field at the bottom of the terms box when it is in edit mode. It would work just like the sitelinks ui works, one can add langauges but only the ones that have no term defined yet. To make that obvious, we should perhaps only show the additional box when all languages are expanded.

Nikki added a comment. Another two uses I just had: Someone entered a label and description using the wrong language code. I can remove them from the wrong code, but I need labelLister to add them to the right code. Some sitelinks had been added some time ago. Usually a bot will add labels when that happens, but sometimes things seem to get skipped so I wanted to just add the labels myself, but I needed labelLister to do it.

Nikki added a subscriber: Nikki. Nikki added a comment. I often want to do this, because Wikipedia articles will normally include the name in the original/native/local language(s) and I'd like to add those as labels too. Related to what @Izno said, if you move a sitelink to another item, the item won't automatically have a label in the language. You can remove the label from the old item, but you can't add it to the new item. I do find it rather strange that I can do pretty much anything independently of the UI language except for adding new terms. I'm not restricted in which sitelinks I can add, I'm not restricted in which monolingual text statements I can add and now I'm not even restricted in which labels I can see, edit or remove, but adding new labels? There's no obvious way to do that, the best option I have is a not very user friendly gadget that isn't enabled by default. I'm not sure how we can accurately analyse how often it happens. We could figure out how many new labels were added using the labelLister gadget from the history, but that wouldn't tell us how many labels people wanted to add but didn't.

Izno added a comment. Right. I realized that after a second reading of what the task was about. Carry on looking for use cases.

Lydia_Pintscher added a comment. But in these cases the language you want to work on already has a label, description or alias? In this case it would show up for you to edit.

I may move one link to another page based on e.g. Google Translate, or leave a link behind, and I want to clean up any remaining languages which may have content in them to indicate the different title.

Lydia_Pintscher added a subscriber: Lydia_Pintscher. Lydia_Pintscher added a comment. Before we do add the ability to add more I'd like to see an analysis of how often the following case actually happens: I want to add a label/description/alias for a language that I have not set as my babel language, isn't my browser language, isn't inferred based on location and doesn't at least have one entry already. My gut feeling this case is very rare and I'd like to avoid adding more creep to the user interface it in this case.

Mbch331 added a subscriber: Mbch331. Mbch331 added a comment. That's the only function from Wikidata Label editor gadget that's missing (if I'm not mistaken). If this is done, the labeleditor gadget is no longer needed.
