Description

Original request submitted here, moved now to phabricator per GZWDer (@Bugreporter)'s suggestion.

Event Timeline

This is already one of the languages listed as missing on T74126.

Thanks @Nikki, I'll mark this as a dependency.

Sorry, T74126 is about monolingual text, not terms. We will take care of this, though :)

This is a living language. No problem
Thanks,

Currently we still can not add term languages (for labels, descriptions and aliases) that are not one of the MediaWiki content languages. Which seems to be resolved for kea. When I go to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9351?uselang=kea it seems what this ticket is asking for is already possible. Can you please check if this is already "magically" resolved?

It's still not possible. If you try to actually save a value, it says "Unrecognized value for parameter 'language': kea"

Thanks Thiemo for handling this in Wikidata, please abandon the core patch.

please abandon the core patch.

Why? Is there something wrong with it?

please abandon the core patch.

Why? Is there something wrong with it?

Yes, it's against policy and it has nothing to do with this task. (It's also not pretty to have such a lengthy conversation about language additions in gerrit; Phabricator or mediawiki.org would be better, if someone wishes to challenge the status quo.)

  • Which policy?
  • I'm not involved in any discussion. Please point the user to the proper ticket if there is one, or help him create one.
  • I'm sure it doesn't need me to abandon a patch. As I said, I don't care much.

Change 297406 abandoned by Thiemo Mättig (WMDE):
Add support for Cape Verdean Creole (kea)

Reason:
The list of languages Wikidata supports but MediaWiki does not is getting longer, see I232c6c4. I'm not a fan of this.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/297406

Wikidata may support over 7000 languages; all the languages that are recognised are allowed.
Thanks,
