I need to add a Latin label to [[Q3388166]]. I tried adding the babel code to my user page and activating the labellister, but I still cannot add a Latin label. --[[User:Jfhutson|Jfhutson]] ([[User talk:Jfhutson|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 16:11, 19 May [[Q3388166|2016]] (UTC)

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)[reply]

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.

[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…

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)[reply]
