Description

More full write-up of the test here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:EBernhardson_(WMF)/Notes/Accept-Language

Using the accept-language header lets us figure out what other wikis to run their query on based on what languages they speak. The initial results were promising, so let's run an A/B test for it.
