  Adding new labels for Serbian is working again as it used to.
  
  > @Petar.petkovic in the light of what we've learned with 
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/523176 is it correct to conclude that 
`getFrequentLanguageList` should be also returning language code that is has 
been redirected. i.e. both "fil" and "tl", or both "sr" and "sr-cyrl"?
  
  When I said "like it used to" above, I meant that one needs to have `sr` 
language code in ULS previous languages in order to edit items for Serbian on 
Wikidata. `sr-cyrl` is not useful for editing, but is acceptable if we return 
both `sr` and `sr-cyrl`. Users need to know that they can only edit in `sr` and 
`sr-cyrl` will give them error and this makes a bad user experience.
  I guess the similar case would be for `fil` and `tl`, where users can only 
edit in `tl`, but I'm not sure how Wikidata will handle these language codes.
  
  Wikibase code should have language code validation system in place so that we 
don't end up with uneditable languages in UI. Even worse, we saw on example 
with Serbian that editing in some language could be completely broken for all 
users. That is what T217770 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T217770> should 
deal with.
