--- Comment #17 from Nikola Smolenski <smole...@eunet.rs> --- Bump. When real Wikidata started, my default interface was Serbian but I had to switch it to English because Wikidata in Serbian was unreadable and unusable. Everywhere you go, you see Q1234567 labels that are meaningless to you. Worse: you could see an entire item filled with statements like "P21 of this item is Q44148" that are even more meaningless. I suggest that language fallback is temporarily implemented in simplified form: display the label in the user interface language. If it doesn't exist, display English label in angular brackets. If that doesn't exist, display nothing. This should work in 99.99% of cases, Wikidata will be more understandable to non-English readers, it will be easier for editors to enter the non-English labels and more people will use non-English interface languages. Full language fallback could be implemented later. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
