daniel added a comment. @GerardM So if a label for Q123 is defined for sr-ec but not for sr-el, and your user language is sr-el, you do not want to see the automatically transliterated label when Q123 is mentioned? Why not? Would you rather see just the ID? How is that useful?
Note that transliteration is never applied in places where labels or descriptions are editable, e.g. in the "term box" at the top. Or do you mean that transliteration should not be applied for monolingual text? I agree, and I don't think we do. In Wikibase, we should not have text "in Serbian". It should either be sr-el or it's sr-ec. MediaWiki however defines a plain "sr" code (and treats it essentially as an alias for "sr-ec"). We should probably not allow this to be used for input on Wikibase, and instead force users to pick either sr-el or sr-ec. Is this what you want? In that case, I suggest to change the title of this ticket to "Disallow use of 'sr' language code" - the problem is not that we don't support different scripts, quite to the contrary: we support an extra language code that may cause confusion. Actually, I think we have discussed this before, there may already be a ticket for it.
