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.

There's also the LabelLister gadget (which can be enabled in preferences). The "new" version (which you can switch to in the gadget itself) supports adding and changing all languages. --Pokechu22 (talk) 18:27, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How can I add and remove which languages are listed in the red frame in this picture? I have looked in "Preferences" and "More language settings". --Bensin (talk) 12:05, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have more languages displayed to me than I'd like. I want to select and deselect which languages are presented to me (and then click "All entered languages" to see all on the item pages). Any help here is appreciated. --Bensin (talk) 19:56, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This was (sort of) resolved by this. --Bensin (talk) 22:56, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

{{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…

They seem to be based on one's IP address location. --Iketsi (talk) 18:18, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
