I've temporarily hidden #p-lang entirely via https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css but we should fix this properly.

A few thoughts on this:
1: This should probably be fixed in MediaWiki:Vector-2022.css not common.css. An idea for a fix:

i: To fix cog wheel: #vector-main-menu-unpinned-container #p-lang button { margin: 6px 14px; }
ii: To fix link: #vector-main-menu-unpinned-container #p-lang .vector-menu-content a { padding: 6px 14px; font-size:0.875rem; }

2: I personally prefer the lang links in v22 to be at the top of the page rather than in the main menu.
3: This is fixed in V22 the vectorzebradesign update. See https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Functioneers?safemode=1&vectorzebradesign=1. So there should not be any longterm css fixes needed.

This has removed the ability to change the interface language and the ability to add Wikidata links in Vector and Monobook.

No, it should be fixed in Vector22/ULS. A temporary on-wiki hack is not the answer.

Those are entirely different controls.

Aha, neat. Let's use that then.

There's no real use-case for adding Wikidata links for 99% of pages on Wikifunctions. The language change control from ULS isn't supported and doesn't work correctly, but we can't configure it unfortunately; you should use the real language change control that we provide instead.

Ah I see, I misunderstood when I made my 2nd comment. However for my first point I think that while #p-lang is being hidden, it should only be hidden for V22 instead of all skins since the formatting issue is limited to that skin until the V22 update (Comment 3) is released, which could be in 1-2 weeks according to the update notes. If this was more about disabling the menu language feature (Not the WF one) entirely then I think that could be quite good but it didn't seem to me that this task was about that.

Where do I find that?

Also, what doesn't work correctly? If I manually remove the CSS you added, changing the language with ULS works fine for me.

As for adding Wikidata links, maybe it's not important for the main namespace, but there's no reason to prevent people from linking categories and templates (which is what I was trying to do).

This is probably present in pretty much every wiki with V22 except Wikipedia, at least MediaWiki also has it. Is the languages dropdown in Vector 2022's code or just a hack for all Wikipedia wikis?

Update: V22 just added the Zebra changes to all users and the alignment issues with the cog and text should be fixed.

Considering the fact that there is no other option for language switching for users who don't use Vector-2022, I have changed it so that uls is visible again to users who don't use vector-2022

Should this also be done for MediaWikiWiki?

Also, does that languages sidebar even apply to Wikifunctions? See https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/en/Z10012?useskin=monobook . Languages seem to be always inside the page content, never in the sidebar.
