likely the same bug as in T212633.
If you edit a description in Cantonese, the description is saved on Wikidata under zh-yue instead yue.
yue is the content language of zh-yue.wikipedia.org.

Appears to be working on 6.2.0 (1558)

@chelsyx Just FYI there was a bug which excluded some languages from wikidata edit feature. I expect the impact to be small, but we may see a bump in usage with 6.2 release.
