It would be useful for things like codes, symbols and international names, where the same string is a plausible label/alias for every language. Copying the same thing to most/all languages creates massive amounts of edits and is a huge waste of resources, but we don't have a language-neutral place we can add them instead. We would have to use English. Examples: - Unicode character "♣" <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q87526860> - has "♣" as the label and "U+2663" as an alias 446 times - Switzerland <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q39> - has "CH" as an alias 403 times - carbon <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q623> - has "C" as an alias 187 times - the disambiguation page "C" <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q28006> - has "C" as the label 104 times - the Danish men's national road cycling team 2021 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q104248887> - has "DEN 2021" as an alias 411 times - the galaxy "SDSS J151017.36+160605.3" <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q74758893> - has "SDSS J151017.36+160605.3" as the label 411 times - the species "Neotrogla curvata" <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q39898268> - has "Neotrogla curvata" as the label 411 times TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T285156 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Nikki Cc: Nikki, Esc3300, Mbch331, jhsoby, Amire80, Lydia_Pintscher, ChristianKl, Mahir256, Aklapper, Invadibot, maantietaja, Akuckartz, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, _jensen, rosalieper, Scott_WUaS, Wikidata-bugs, aude
