Can't add a language label
[edit]I need to add a Latin label to Petrum Pernam(3388166). I tried adding the babel code to my user page and activating the labellister, but I still cannot add a Latin label. --Jfhutson (talk) 16:11, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- I see you figured it out and added the label in Old revision of Q3388166, so I won't ping you in this reply (but if you see it anyway, it might be good to add a description also!)... for others' edification, the babel codes are merely for the benefit of other human editors on Wikidata and don't grant access to editing rights for items; administrative restrictions aside, everyone can edit the labels, descriptions and aliases for an item in any available language. A handy form is available for doing this: in your example, one could follow this link -- Special:SetLabelDescriptionAliases/Q3388166/la -- in other cases the Q-number and language code would of course be different.

Errata
[edit]{{Edit request}}
The help for "configure languages" (for multilingual descriptions) goes directly to Help:Navigating_Wikidata/User_Options#Babel_extension, and in that section it says users instead of logged-in users. I've tested the configuration|procedure, and apparently it doesn't work without login. Please update…
- old
- best for users who will be contributing to Wikidata in multiple languages
- new
- best for logged-in users who will be contributing to Wikidata in multiple languages
Near the top of the help page registered users are mentioned, logged-in registered users might be clearer…
- old
- some of the user options available to registered Wikidata users
- new
- some of the user options available to logged-in registered Wikidata users

Where are the 4 fallback languages for the "In more languages" section defined?
[edit]They seem to be based on one's IP address location. --Iketsi (talk) 18:18, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
