Hi,

Sorry for a silly question, but has this been deployed yet? The language doesn't seem to be showing up.

Best Regards

Yes, but you can't find it by name It only works when you type in the language code mfa.

I've added mfa to my babel https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Misharim English, Arabic and Indonesian seems to show up on entries, but not Pattani Malay. For example:

That's because the request wasn't to make the language available for labels, but monolingual properties. That are 2 different things.

Oh, I was misinformed. Should I create another ticket for labels?

Yes, if you want to use mfa for labels and descriptions, then you will need to create a new ticket for that as it has nothing to do with monolingual language codes.
